Hydrogels composed of hyperbranched poly(amine-ester) (HPAE) macromers with 36% of terminal C=C groups were prepared as a pH-sensitive multi-drug release system with low swelling ratios (4.2% for the lowest one). Antican...
Hexagonal nanorods of metal nitride clusterfullerene Sc(3)N@C(80) (I(h)) encapsulated in zinc meso-tetra(4-pyridyl) porphyrin (ZnTPyP) (Sc(3)N@C(80)-ZnTPyP nanorods) are prepared for the first time using a supramolecular...
High performance thermoplastic polymers, such as poly(etherketoneketone) (PEKK), etc., with excellent mechanical properties and thermo-oxidative stability are in great demand for expanding commercial applications. Transf...
Tetraphenylethylene-based porous organic polymers were synthesized efficiently through a Suzuki coupling polycondensation or oxidative coupling polymerization. According to the obtained nitrogen physisorption isotherms, ...
A fluorogenic organic-inorganic hybrid sensory material (denoted as material III) was successfully prepared by immobilizing disulfide-based receptors within the channels of mesoporous silica MCM-41. The material showed h...
This study proposes an effective approach using in situ polymerization, to fabricate large-area graphene oxide (GO)/polyimide (PI) composite films with outstanding mechanical properties. The GO/PI composite films provide...
Herein we report the achievement of a red emission and NIR emission from a lanthanide and bismuth functionalized L-type zeolite (Ln(3+)/Bi(3+)-zeolite L, Ln = Eu, Nd) prepared by a simple ion-exchange process and subsequ...
One-dimensional multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/SiC porous nanocomposites were prepared via an in situ reaction between Si and MWCNTs induced by the reaction between Na and I(2). The as-prepared nanocomposites exhibi...
Phenylene-ethynylene monomer and copolymer bearing pendant imidazolium groups were synthesized in order to obtain luminescent entities highly soluble in ionic liquids (ILs). Their stabilities under non-aqueous sol-gel co...
Spider silk fibers are one of the most remarkable biopolymers displaying a unique combination of mechanical properties, biocompatibility and biodegradability. The recombinant production of spider silk proteins now allows...
A ZnO nanocactus (NC) array is constructed by the chemical bath deposition of hierarchical nanostructures, i.e. shells and spines, on the ZnO nanowire (NW) array at room temperature (RT). By utilizing a supersaturated so...
