Abstract
Physical gels are a versatile class of materials which can find application in sensors, electrochemistry, biomedicine or rheological modifiers. Herein, we present a hydrogen-bonded physical gel which is based on the interaction between phenylcarbonate telechelic poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG-PC) and poly(vinyl amine-co-acetamide) (p(VAm-co-VAA)). The critical gelation concentration was found to be 10 wt% by rheology and NMR. UV-vis spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering reveal the formation of aggregates in the gel. Rheology and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to show the effect of thermal curing on the mechanical properties of the physical gel. Repeated heating cooling cycles can anneal inhomogeneity in physical gels and significantly improve their mechanical properties.![]()

Abstract
Traditional antibiotics usually sterilize in chemical ways, which may lead to serious drug resistance. By contrast, peptide-based antibacterial materials are less susceptible to drug resistance. Herein we report the preparation of an antibacterial peptide-based copolymer micelle and the investigation of its membrane-penetration antibacterial mechanism by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The copolymer is poly(l-lactide)-block-poly(phenylalanine-stat-lysine) [PLLA31-b-poly(Phe24-stat-Lys36)], which is synthesized by ring-opening polymerization. The PLLA chains form the core, whereas the polypeptide chains form the coronas of the micelle in aqueous solution. This micelle boasts excellent antibacterial efficacy against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Furthermore, TEM studies clearly reveal that the micelles pierce and then destroy the cell membrane of the bacteria. We also compared the advantages and disadvantages of two general methods for measuring the Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) values of antibacterial micelles. Overall, this study provides us with direct evidence for the antibacterial mechanism of polypeptide-based micelles and a strategy for synthesizing biodegradable antibacterial nanomaterials without antibiotic resistance.

Abstract
This work describes the preparation and investigation of molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) microgel (MG) stabilized Pickering emulsions (PEs) for their ability to catalyze the formation of disulfide bonds in peptides at the O/W interface. The MIP MGs were synthesized via precipitation polymerization and a programmed initiator change strategy. The MIP MGs were characterized using DLS analysis, SEM measurement, and optical microscopy analysis. The dry and wet MIP MGs showed a hydrodynamic diameter of 100 and 280 nm, respectively. A template rebinding experiment showed that the MIP MGs bound over two times more template (24 mg g-1) compared to the uptake displayed by a nonimprinted reference polymer (NIP) MG (10 mg g-1) at saturation. Using the MIP MGs as stabilizers, catalytic oxidation systems were prepared by emulsifying the oil phase and water phase in the presence of different oxidizing agents. During the cyclization, the isolation of the thiol precursors and the oxidizing reagents nonselectively decreased the formation of the byproducts, while the imprinted cavities on the MIP MGs selectively promoted the intramolecular cyclization of peptides. When I2 was used as the oxidizing agent, the MIP-PE-I2 system showed a product yield of 50%, corresponding to a nearly 2-fold increase compared to that of the nonimprinted polymer NIP-PE-I2 system (26%). We believe the interfacial catalysis system presented in this work may offer significant benefits in synthetic peptide chemistry by raising productivity while suppressing the formation of byproducts.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles stabilized by thermoresponsive polymer, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM-AuNPs) were prepared by surface grafting of thiol-terminated PNIPAM onto citrate-stabilized AuNPs. The color change of the PNIPAM-AuNPs solution from red to blue-purple without precipitation when the solution was heated to 40 °C, above the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of PNIPAM, indicated the thermoresponsive property of the synthesized AuNPs. PNIPAM-AuNPs were used to detect proteins by chemical nose approach based on fluorescence quenching of fluorophore by AuNPs. An array-based sensing platform for detection of six proteins, namely bovine serum albumin, lysozyme, fibrinogen, concanavalin A, hemoglobin, holo-transferrin human can be successfully developed from the PNIPAM-AuNPs having different molecular weights (4 and 8 kDa) and conformation (varied heat treatment from 25 to 40 °C) in combination with a tricationic branched phenylene-ethynylene fluorophore. From principal component analysis (PCA) followed by linear discriminant analysis (LDA), 100% accuracy of protein classification using a leave-one-out (LOO) approach can be achieved by using only two types of PNIPAM-AuNPs.

Visible light-induced surfactant-free emulsion polymerization using camphorquinone/tertiary amine as the initiating system for the synthesis of amine-functionalized colloidal nanoparticles.

Abstract
A visible light-induced surfactant-free emulsion polymerization (SFEP) was developed as an alternative pathway for the preparation of amine-functionalized nanoparticles by using the photo-initiating system consisting of camphorquinone coupled with tertiary amine (CQ/3°-amine). Water-soluble macromolecules containing 3°-amines were used as the sources of 3°-amine species, which not only function with CQ to generate initiating free radicals, but also provide colloidal stabilization to the resulting colloidal products. The prepared nanoparticles showed uniformed size distribution and good colloidal stability with positively charged surface. For SFEP induced by CQ/polyethyleneimine (PEI) photo-redox couple, the polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) was affected by both light intensity and initiator concentration. In addition, to obtain higher solid content products, the weight ratio of PEI:MMA=1:4 was employed. Finally, an opportunity for immobilizing various amine containing polymers by our photo-induced SFEP was evaluated. The achievement of this SFEP also depended on 3°-amine content of the macromolecules used.
