A self-healing hydrogel ionic conductor has been developed by combining dynamic covalent chemistry with nanofiller reinforcement and micelle crosslinking, used for sensing of diverse human activities.
The orientation and spatial distribution of nanocrystals in the organic matrix are two distinctive structural characteristics associated with natural bone. Synthetic soft materials have been used to successfully control mineral crystals. minerals a synthetic scaffold, however, has yet be reproduced biomimetic manner. Herein, we report using block copolymer-decorated polymer nanofibers achieve biomineralized fibrils precise both crystal distribution. Exquisite nanoscale hybrid demonstrated.
Abstract Lipids and amphiphilic block copolymers spontaneously self-assemble in water to form a plethora of micelles vesicles. They are typically fluidic nature often mechanically weak for applications such as drug delivery gene therapeutics. Mechanical properties polymeric materials could be improved by forming crystalline structures. However, most the self-assembled vesicles have curved surfaces precisely tuning crystallization within nanoscale space is challenging, geometry incommensurate...
The use of click chemistry as a hydrogel cross-linking reaction is often limited by slow rates and harsh conditions, such exposure to UV light and/or nonspecific or toxic reagents. On the other hand, process boronic ester formation between arylboronic acids diols suffers from its intrinsic reversibility low binding affinity at pH, which impede potential in many biomedical applications where fast stable needed. Herein, we report new concept fabrication that combines traditional sugar-based...
We show that liquid/liquid interface can guide polymer chain folding during crystallization. Evaporation-induced crystallization of telechelic dicarboxyl end-functionalized poly(ε-caprolactone) (COOH-PCL-COOH) at a water/pentyl acetate produced millimeter-scale, uniform single crystal (PSC) films. Due to the asymmetric nature interface, PSC nanosheets exhibited Janus structure: two surfaces showed distinct water contact angle, which are quantitatively confirmed by in situ nanocondensation...
We report a novel polymer-single-crystal@gold nanoparticle (PSC@AuNP) nanosandwich (two layers of AuNPs sandwiching one layer PSC) structure for surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). It can be used in the conventional way through solution mixing with analytes or by adopting tip-enhanced (TERS) configuration directly applying onto flat curved substrate detection.
Initiated chemical vapor deposition (iCVD) has been shown to be suitable for blanketing surfaces with thin polymer coatings of ≈1-2 nm and greater. In this work, iCVD polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) deposited on carbon nanotube (CNT)-based show CNT-templated PTFE single crystal growth. While the coating forms disoriented agglomerates when an amorphous background, "shish-kebab" structures are observed grown single-walled nanotubes (SWCNT) as well CNT buckypaper. It is that shish-kebab...
We report the growth and structure of self-assembled, mechanically robust nanosized crystalsomes.
