[PMID: 38998730 PMCID: PMC11243741 DOI: 10.3390/nano14131126] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2024] [Revised: 06/21/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024]
Abstract
Phase change materials (PCMs) are materials that exhibit thermal response characteristics, allowing them to be utilized in the biological field for precise and controllable temperature regulation. Due to considerations of biosafety and the spatial limitations within human tissue, the amount of PCMs used in medical applications is relatively small. Therefore, researchers often augment PCMs with various materials to enhance their performance and increase their practical value. The dispersion of nanoparticles to modify the thermophysical properties of PCMs has emerged as a mature concept. This paper aims to elucidate the role of nanomaterials in addressing deficiencies and enhancing the performance of PCMs. Specifically, it discusses the dispersion methods and stabilization mechanisms of nanoparticles within PCMs, as well as their effects on thermophysical properties such as thermal conductivity, latent heat, and specific heat capacity. Furthermore, it explores how various nano-additives contribute to improved thermal conductivity and the mechanisms underlying enhanced latent heat and specific heat. Additionally, the potential applications of PCMs in biomedical fields are proposed. Finally, this paper provides a comprehensive analysis and offers suggestions for future research to maximize the utilization of nanomaterials in enhancing the thermophysical properties of PCMs for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Polymeric microspheres (PMs) have attracted great attention in the field of biomedicine in the last several decades due to their small particle size, special functionalities shown on the surface and high surface-to-volume ratio. However, how to fabricate PMs which can meet the clinical needs and transform laboratory achievements to industrial scale-up still remains a challenge. Therefore, advanced fabrication technologies are pursued. In this review, we summarize the technologies used to fabricate PMs, including emulsion-based methods, microfluidics, spray drying, coacervation, supercritical fluid and superhydrophobic surface-mediated method and their advantages and disadvantages. We also review the different structures, properties and functions of the PMs and their applications in the fields of drug delivery, cell encapsulation and expansion, scaffolds in tissue engineering, transcatheter arterial embolization and artificial cells. Moreover, we discuss existing challenges and future perspectives for advancing fabrication technologies and biomedical applications of PMs.

Experimental Study and Mechanism Analysis of Paraffin/Sisal Composite Phase Change Energy Storage Fiber Prepared by Vacuum Adsorption Method. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 17:467. [PMID: 38255634 PMCID: PMC10817251 DOI: 10.3390/ma17020467] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2023] [Revised: 01/10/2024] [Accepted: 01/16/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024]
Abstract
Sisal fiber exhibits a fibrous and porous structure with significant surface roughness, making it highly suitable for storing phase change materials (PCMs). Its intricate morphology further aids in mitigating the risk of PCM leakage. This research successfully employs vacuum adsorption to encapsulate paraffin within sisal fiber, yielding a potentially cost-effective, durable, and environmentally friendly phase change energy storage medium. A systematic investigation was carried out to evaluate the effects of sisal-to-paraffin mass ratio, fiber length, vacuum level, and negative pressure duration on the loading rate of paraffin. The experimental results demonstrate that a paraffin loading rate of 8 wt% can be achieved by subjecting a 3 mm sisal fiber to vacuum adsorption with 16 wt% paraffin for 1 h at -0.1 MPa. Through the utilization of nano-CT imaging enhancement technology, along with petrographic microscopy, this study elucidates the mechanism underlying paraffin storage within sisal fiber during vacuum adsorption. The observations reveal that a substantial portion of paraffin is primarily stored within the pores of the fiber, while a smaller quantity is firmly adsorbed onto its surface, thus yielding a durable phase change energy storage medium. The research findings contribute to both the theoretical foundations and the available practical guidance for the fabrication and implementation of paraffin/sisal fiber composite phase change energy storage mediums.

Abstract
Spoilage results in food waste and endangers consumer health, and the smart antibacterial packaging can effectively inhibit bacterial growth and reduce food spoilage. In this study, the smart antibacterial nanocellulose packaging films were developed by adding the pH-stimulated responsive microcapsules into cellulose nanofibril (CNF) film-forming. The microcapsules were synthesized by interfacial polymerization of Pickering emulsion. Carboxylated cellulose nanocrystals as solid particles stabilized the composited oil phase to prepare the oil-in-water Pickering emulsion. The emulsion with the particle concentration of 1.25 wt% and the oil phase mass fraction of 7.5 % processes excellent stability and uniform particle size, was chosen to synthesize microcapsules. The cinnamaldehyde in the film with the addition amount of microcapsules 0.6 g burst released in the first 1 h and then slowly, and the cumulative release at pH 2.0, 4.0, 5.5 and 7.2 was 28.43 μg/cm2, 18.84 μg/cm2, 16.52 μg/cm2 and 12.89 μg/cm2, respectively. The inhibitory rate of film against both E. coli and L. monocytogenes reached 99 % at pH 4.0. The shelf life of pork packed by the film prolonged to nearly 9 d at room temperature. The developed films have the potential to be used in food packaging.

ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2024; 36:e2310312.

Abstract
Photothermal superhydrophobic surfaces are one of the most promising anti-/deicing materials, yet they are limited by the low energy density and intermittent nature of solar energy. Here, a coupling solution based on microencapsulated phase change materials (MPCMs) that integrates photothermal effect and phase change thermal storage is proposed. Dual-shell octahedral MPCMs with Cu2 O as the first layer and 3D Cu2-x S as the second layer for the first time is designed. By morphology and phase manipulation of the Cu2-x S shell, the local surface plasmonic heating modulation of MPCMs is realized, and the MPCM reveals full-spectrum high absorption with a photothermal conversion efficiency up to 96.1%. The phase change temperature and enthalpy remain in good consistency after 200 cycles. Multifunctional photothermal phase-change superhydrophobic composite coatings are fabricated by combining the hydrolyzed and polycondensation products of octadecyl trichlorosilane and the dual-shell MPCM. The multifunctional coatings exhibit excellent anti-/deicing performance under low temperature and high humidity conditions. This work not only provides a new approach for the design of high-performance MPCMs but also opens up an avenue for the anti-icing application of photothermal phase-change superhydrophobic composite coatings.

Abstract
A fibrillar hydrogel was obtained by covalent crosslinking via Diels-Alder reaction of two types of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) with furan and maleimide groups. Gelation has been studied at various ratios of components and temperatures in the range from 20 to 60 °C. It was shown that the rheological properties of the hydrogel can be optimized by varying the concentration and ratio of components. Due to the rigid structure of the CNCs, the hydrogel could be formed at a concentration of at least 5 wt%; however, it almost does not swell either in water with pH 5 or 7 or in the HBSS buffer. The introduction of aldehyde groups into the CNCs allows for the conjugation of physiologically active molecules containing primary amino groups due to the formation of imine bonds. Here, we used benzocaine as a model drug for conjugation with CNC hydrogel. The resulting drug-conjugated hydrogel demonstrated the stability of formulation at pH 7 and a pH-sensitive release of benzocaine due to the accelerated hydrolytic cleavage of the imine bond at pH < 7. The developed drug-conjugated hydrogel is promising as wound dressings for local anesthesia.

Abstract
In this work, a series of polymer microcapsules based on UV-curable prepolymers are prepared by combining an emulsion template and photopolymerization. The modulation of the shell structure is achieved by employing UV-curable prepolymers with different chemical structures (polyurethane acrylates, polyester acrylates, and epoxy acrylates) and functionalities (di-, tetra-, and hex-). The relationships between the shell structure and the microcapsule properties are investigated in detail. The results show that the properties of the microcapsules can be effectively regulated by adjusting the composition and cross-linking density of the shell. Epoxy acrylate-based microcapsules exhibit higher impermeability, solvent resistance, and barrier and mechanical properties than polyurethane acrylate and polyester acrylate-based microcapsules. Using UV-curable prepolymer with high functionality as a shell-forming material could effectively improve the impermeability, solvent resistance, and barrier and mechanical properties of microcapsules. In addition, the dispersion of microcapsules in the coating matrix tends to follow the "similar component, better compatibility" principle, i.e., a uniform dispersion of the microcapsule in the coating matrix is more easily achieved when the compositions of the microcapsule shell and coating are similar in structure. The convenient adjustment of the shell structure and the investigation of the "structure-property" relationship provide guidance for the further controlled design of microcapsules.

Simultaneously, in-depth insights into the correlations between microscopic structures and thermophysical properties of composite PCMs are revealed. Finally, current challenges and future prospects are also highlighted according to the up-to-date interdisciplinary applications of PCMs. This review aims to arouse broad research interest in the interdisciplinary community and provide constructive references for exploring next generation advanced multifunctional PCMs for interdisciplinary applications, thereby facilitating their major breakthroughs in both fundamental researches and commercial applications.

Abstract
Microencapsulation of paraffin with lead tungstate shell (Pn@PWO) shows the drawbacks of low wettability and poor leakage-proof property and thermal reliability, restricting the application of phase change microcapsules. Herein, a novel paraffin@lead tungstate@silicon dioxide double-shelled microcapsule (Pn@PWO@SiO2) has been successfully constructed by the emulsion-templated interfacial polycondensation and applied in the waterborne polyurethane (WPU). The results indicated that a SiO2 layer with controlled thickness was formed on the PbWO4 shell. The Pn@PWO@SiO2 microcapsules have exhibited superior leakage-proof properties and thermal reliability through double-shelled protection, and the leakage rate decreased by at least 54.11% compared to that of Pn@PWO microcapsules. The SiO2 layer with abundant polar groups ameliorated the wettability of microcapsules and the interfacial compatibility between microcapsules and the WPU matrix. The tensile strength of WPU/Pn@PWO@SiO2-2 composites reached 10.98 MPa, which was over 7 times greater than that of WPU/Pn@PWO composites. In addition, WPU/Pn@PWO@SiO2-2 composites with a latent heat capacity of over 41 J/g exhibited efficient phase change stability and γ-ray shielding properties. Also, the mass attenuation coefficients reached 1.38 cm2/g at 105.3 keV and 1.12 cm2/g at 86.5 keV, respectively. These properties will greatly promote the application of WPU/Pn@PWO@SiO2 composites into γ-ray-shielding devices with thermal regulation.

Abstract
Transferring the layer-by-layer (LbL) coating approach from planar surfaces to spherical templates and subsequently dissolving these templates leads to the fabrication of polyelectrolyte multilayer capsules. The versatility of the coatings of capsules and their flexibility upon bringing in virtually any material into the coatings has quickly drawn substantial attention. Here, we provide an overview of the main developments in this field, highlighting the trends in the last decade. In the beginning, various methods of encapsulation and release are discussed followed by a broad range of applications, which were developed and explored. We also outline the current trends, where the range of applications is continuing to grow, including addition of whole new and different application areas.

Abstract
Radiative cooling has been considered an innovative passive method to resolve the problem of overheating of electronic devices. However, it is inefficient for cooling huge heat generation components. Herein, we report a dual-encapsulated nanocomposite (DEN) by integrating radiative cooling and phase-change materials (PCMs) for thermal buffering in heat-generating radiative cooling. The leak of PCMs is avoided by a simple dual-encapsulated structure with a three-dimensional (3D) interconnected cellular-like network structure and radiative cooling layer on the surface, 75% superior to the state-of-the-art single encapsulation designs. Additionally, our DEN not only shows outstanding optical properties with strong solar reflection (R̅solar = 0.96) and IR-selective emission (ε̅8-13 μm = 0.94 and ηε = 1.15) but also exhibits high phase-change enthalpy (ΔHm = 192.2 J/g, ΔHc = 175.7 J/g), enabling remarkable radiative cooling capability and desirable thermal energy peak shaving and valley filling effect. Outdoor experiments demonstrate that DEN achieves a temperature drop up to 23 °C compared to the control group without DEN coverage when electronics generate heat. This dual-encapsulated nanocomposite provides a novel strategy and solution for outdoor passive thermal management.

Abstract
Nanodrug delivery system has a great application in the treatment of solid tumors by virtue of EPR effect, though its success in clinics is still limited by its poor extravasation, small intratumoral accumulation, and weak tumor penetration. The shape of nanoparticles (NPs) greatly affects their circulation time, flow behavior, intratumoral amassing, cell internalization as well as tumor tissue penetration. Generally, short nanorods and 100-200 nm spherical nanocarriers possess nice circulation behaviors, nanorods and nanofibers with a large aspect ratio (AR) cumulate well at tumor sites, and tiny nanospheres/disks (< 50 nm) and short nanorods with a low AR achieve a favorable tumor tissue penetration. The AR and surface evenness of NPs also tune their cell contact, cell ingestion, and drug accumulation at tumor sites. Therefore, adopting stimulus-responsive shape-switching (namely, shape-shifting nanoarchitectonics) can not only ensure a good circulation and extravasation for NPs, but also and more importantly, promote their amassing, retention, and penetration in tumor tissues to maximize therapeutic efficacy. Here we review the recently developed shape-switching nanoarchitectonics of antitumoral NPs based on stimulus-responsiveness, demonstrate how successful they are in tumor shrinking and elimination, and provide new ideas for the optimization of anticancer nanotherapeutics.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive smart supramolecular self-assembly with controllable morphology and adjustable rheological property has attracted widespread concern of scientists in recent years due to the great potential application in microfluidics, controlled release, biosensors and so on. In this study, a pH and UV light dual stimuli-responsive system was constructed by combining Gemini surfactant 2-hydroxyl-propanediyl-α,ω-bis(dimethyldodecyl ammonium bromide) (12-3(OH)-12·2Br-) with trans-ortho-hydroxyl cinnamic acid (trans-OHCA) in aqueous solution. The phase behavior and stimuli-responsive behavior of the system including the microstructural transition, rheological property, intermolecular interaction, and isomerization reaction were explored by various experiment techniques such as rheometer, UV-vis spectrum, polarized optical microscopy (POM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS) as well as theoretical calculation. The system displays abundant phase behaviors that supramolecular self-assemblies of different morphologies in different states such as spherical micelle, wormlike micelle, lamellar liquid crystal, and aqueous two phase system (ATPS) were observed even at lower concentration, which provide the research basis on the abundant stimuli-responsiveness of the system. The results prove that the multiple ionization and the photo-isomerization of trans-OHCA endow the system with plentiful responses to pH and UV light stimuli. It is expected that this study on the dual stimuli-responsive system with abundant self-assembly behaviors and adjustable rheological behaviors would be of theoretical and practical importance, which would provide essential guidance in designing and constructing smart materials with multiple stimuli-responses.

Abstract
Phase change materials (PCMs) are materials that are stimulated by the external enthalpy change (temperature) to realize solid-liquid and liquid-solid phase transformation. Due to temperature sensitivity, friendly modification, and low toxicity, PCMs have been widely used in smart drug delivery. More often than not, the drug was encapsulated in a solid PCMs matrix, a thermally responsive material. After the trigger implementation, PCMs change into a solid-liquid phase, and the loading drug is released accordingly. Therefore, PCMs can achieve precise release control with different temperature adjustments, which is especially important for small molecular drugs with severe side effects. The combination of drug therapy and hyperthermia through PCMs can achieve more accurate and effective treatment of tumor target areas. This study briefly summarizes the latest developments on PCMs as smart gate-keepers for anti-tumor applications in light of PCMs becoming a research hot spot in the nanomedicine sector in recent years.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Encapsulation of ionic liquids (ILs) and phase change materials (PCMs) can overcome limitations associated with bulk materials, e.g., slow mass transfer rates, high viscosities, or susceptibility to external environment. Single step soft-templated encapsulation methods commonly use interfacial polymerization for shell formation, with a multifunctional monomer in the continuous phase and another in the discontinuous phase, and thus do not give pristine core material. We posit that polymer precipitation onto emulsion droplets in non-aqueous emulsions could produce a robust shell without contamination of the core, ideal for the encapsulation of water-sensitive or water-miscible materials. EXPERIMENTS Solutions of commodity polymers were added to the continuous phase of non-aqueous Pickering emulsions stabilized by alkylated graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets such that the change in solubility of the polymer led to formation of robust shells and the production of capsules that could be isolated. FINDINGS We demonstrate that a polymer precipitation approach can produce capsules with pristine core of the IL 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [Emim][PF6] or the salt hydrate PCM magnesium nitrate hexahydrate (MNH) and shell of nanosheets and polystyrene, poly(methyl methacrylate), or polyethylene. The capsules are approximately 80 wt% [Emim][PF6] or >90 wt% MNH, and the core can undergo multiple cycles of solidification and melting without leakage or destruction. This novel, single-step methodology provides a distinct advantage to access capsules with pristine core composition and is amenable to different core and shell, paving the way for tailoring capsule composition for desired applications.

Abstract
The combination of paraffin wax and O,O′-bis(2-aminopropyl) polypropylene glycol–block–polyethylene glycol–block–polypropylene glycol was used as a phase-change material (PCM) for the controlled delivery of curcumin. The PCM was combined with a graphene-based heater derived from the laser scribing of polyimide film. This assembly provides a new approach to a smart patch through which release can be electronically controlled, allowing repetitive dosing. Rather than relying on passive diffusion, delivery is induced and terminated through the controlled heating of the PCM with transfer only occurring when the PCM transitions from solid to liquid. The material properties of the device and release characteristics of the strategy under repetitive dosing are critically assessed. The delivery yield of curcumin was found to be 3.5 µg (4.5 µg/cm2) per 3 min thermal cycle.

Abstract
Theranostic nanoplatforms integrating diagnostic and therapeutic functions have received considerable attention in the past decade. Among them, hollow manganese (Mn)-based nanoplatforms are superior since they combine the advantages of hollow structures and the intrinsic theranostic features of Mn2+. Specifically, the hollow cavity can encapsulate a variety of small-molecule drugs, such as chemotherapeutic agents, photosensitizers and photothermal agents, for chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT), respectively. After degradation in the tumor microenvironment (TME), the released Mn2+ is able to act simultaneously as a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging contrast agent (CA) and as a Fenton-like agent for chemodynamic therapy (CDT). More importantly, synergistic treatment outcomes can be realized by reasonable and optimized design of the hollow nanosystems. This review summarizes various Mn-based hollow nanoplatforms, including hollow MnxOy, hollow matrix-supported MnxOy, hollow Mn-doped nanoparticles, hollow Mn complex-based nanoparticles, hollow Mn-cobalt (Co)-based nanoparticles, and hollow Mn-iron (Fe)-based nanoparticles, for MR imaging-guided cancer therapies. Finally, we discuss the potential obstacles and perspectives of these hollow Mn-based nanotheranostics for translational applications.

Abstract
The rapid development of colloid chemistry has raised the possibility of using nanocarriers for the targeted delivery and the controlled drug release at predictable locations to reduce side effects and enhance therapeutic efficacy. In the present work, we focused on the influence of temperature and pH upon in vitro controlled phytochemical/dye-release from a modified bilosome. Drug molecules can affect the properties of nanocarriers, so the effect of encapsulated bioactive compounds on nanoparticle structure has been investigated. The self-assembly process of bioinspired components (i.e., phospholipids, bile salts, and cholesterol), and biocompatible polymeric triblock materials, made it possible to receive structures with a size below 100 nm, demonstrated good capacity for active cargo encapsulation. Differential scanning calorimetry studies showed the possibility of the payloads' interaction with the bilosomes structure. A highly lipophilic compound, such as curcumin, can weaken hydrophobic interactions between the acyl chains of phospholipids, leading to a more flexible membrane. The in vitro release profiles have proved that both solubilities of the therapeutic substances and various environmental conditions affect the release rate of the hybrid cargo. Overall, the obtained double-loaded bilosomes represent a promising bioinspired nanoplatform for oral, intravenous, and topical drug delivery in future biomedical applications.

Abstract
Enzyme-based biosensors are sensitive to temperature due to their strong temperature dependency of catalytic activity. Aiming at enhancing biosensing detection for glucose assay over a wide range of applicable temperatures, we designed a thermal self-regulatory intelligent biosensor through an innovative integration of phase change material (PCM) and bioelectrocatalytic substances. An electroactive phase-change microcapsule system was firstly fabricated by microencapsulating n-docosane as a PCM core in the SiO2 shell, followed by depositing polydopamine along with carbon nanotubes as an electroactive layer on the surface of SiO2 shell. The resultant microcapsules showed a regularly spherical morphology and well-defined core-shell microstructure. They also exhibited a satisfactory latent heat capacity of around 137 J/g for implementing temperature regulation with a good working stability. An electrochemical biosensing system was constructed with the resultant electroactive microcapsules together with glucose oxidase as a redox enzyme, achieving a thermal self-regulation capability to enhance the biosensing detection of glucose under in-situ thermal management at higher temperatures. With a high sensitivity of 5.95 μA⋅mM-1⋅cm-2 and a lower detection limit of 13.11 μM at 60 °C, the intelligent biosensor developed by this study demonstrated a superior determination capability and better detection performance toward glucose than conventional biosensors in a high temperature region thanks to effective regulation of microenvironment temperature in the electrode system. This study provides a promising strategy for the development of thermal self-regulatory smart biosensors with an enhanced identification ability to detect various chemical substances over a wide range of applicable temperatures.

Abstract
The construction of enzyme mimics using protein protection layers possesses advantages of high biocompatibility and superior catalytic activity, which is desirable for biomedical applications including diseases diagnosis. Here, from E. coli expression system, recombinant protein of camel serum albumin (rCSA) from Camelus bactrianus was successfully obtained to encapsulate hemin via the self-assemble method without additional toxic organic reagents. As compared with that of horseradish peroxidase, the produced rCSA-hemin nanoparticles exhibited enhanced enzyme-mimicking activity and stability under harsh experimental conditions. Additionally, the steady-state kinetic analysis of rCSA-hemin in the solution revealed its higher affinity to the substrates. Therefore, a colorimetric detection method of H2O2 and glucose was constructed with a linear range of 2.5-500 μM with an LOD of 2.39 and 2.42 μM, respectively, which was also applied for the determination of glucose in the serum samples with satisfying recovery ratio ranging from 101.1% to 112.1%. The constructed camel protein-derived nanozyme system of remarkable stability holds promising potentials for the versatile biomedical uses.

Rational design of dynamic imine surfactants for oil-water emulsions: Learning from oil-induced reversible dynamic imine bond formation. J Colloid Interface Sci 2021; 607:163-170. [PMID: 34506998 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2021.08.178] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2021] [Revised: 08/24/2021] [Accepted: 08/25/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Dynamic imine surfactants (DIS) can be constructed by the formation of dynamic imine bonds (Dibs) between aromatic aldehydes and aliphatic amines in water. Because of the nature of Dibs in water, a thermodynamic equilibrium state was achieved between the DIS and aldehyde and amine precursors to form a dynamic combinatorial library (DCL). When the DIS served as sole emulsifier to form oil-H2O emulsions, the precursors migrated between the H2O phase and the oil phase, which altered the DCL equilibrium. The DIS concentration and emulsion stability also changed. EXPERIMENTS By mixing 4-(2-sulfobetaine-ethoxy)-benzaldehyde (SBBA) and aliphatic amines of CnH2n+1NH2 (n = 4, BA; n = 6, HA; n = 8, OA; n = 10, DA) in water, four amphoteric DIS (SBBA-BA/HA/OA/DA) were prepared. Dib formation was characterized using 1H NMR. The DIS surface activity was studied by surface tension and fluorescence probe methods. The reversible switching of DIS and its wormlike micelles were explored. FINDINGS SBBA-OA (or SBBA-DA) DIS was not a suitable emulsifier for stable hydrocarbon (HC)-H2O emulsions. OA and DA were more soluble in the HC phase than the H2O phase. The precursors of OA and DA migrated from the H2O to the HC phase, and the thermodynamic equilibrium state of DCL shifted towards Dib dissociation. The Dib could be regenerated by HC phase removal. A novel strategy where volatile HC (such as pentane) was used as a trigger was developed to switch the DIS reversibly and its self-assemblies (such as wormlike micelles) in water without inorganic salt accumulation. The SBBA-HA (or SBBA-BA) DIS was a suitable emulsifier for stable emulsions because HA and BA were more soluble in the H2O phase.

Abstract
Phase change materials (PCMs) are widely used in solar energy utilization, industrial waste heat recovery and building temperature regulation. However, there have been few studies on the application of PCMs in the field of biomedicine. In recent years, some scholars have carried out research in the biomedicine field using the characteristics of PCMs. It was observed that the excellent properties of PCMs enhance the quality of a variety of biomedical applications with many advantages over existing applications, which provide new methods for the treatment of disease. PCMs have broad application prospects in the field of biomedicine. Therefore, a timely review of relevant research progress is of great significance for the continuous development of new methods. Innovatively, from the unique perspective of the biomedical field, this paper systematically reviews the application and related research progress of PCMs from four aspects: cold chains for vaccines and medicines, drug delivery systems, thermotherapy/cold compress therapy and medical dressings. In addition, we summarize and discuss the general principles of the design and construction of PCMs in the biomedical field. Finally, existing problems, solutions and future research directions are also put forward in order to provide a basis for guidance and promote the future applications of phase change materials in the biomedicine field.

Abstract
The concept of 4D printing of phase change materials is gaining attention in the potential development of self-healing materials for tissue engineering and manufacturing applications, but there has been limited utilization of the technology in agriculture/farm-based applications. The temperature-responsiveness, magneto-responsiveness, pH-responsiveness, and osmotic pressure-responsiveness of shape-memory materials have potential applications in green/compostable plastics for agricultural applications such as food packaging and mulching films, shade nets, and greenhouse polymer covers. The application of 4D printing in augmenting the biodegradability, environmental, economic, and production benefits of polymers in agriculture is the main focus of this review. So far,; little scholarly and industry attention have been directed to agricultural applications even though shape memory polymers are ideal for such applications compared to existing materials due to smart/intelligent behavior, optimized performance through fiber/nanomaterial reinforcement and multilayered composites. The practical constraints relate to the newness of the 4D printing process, customized synthetic routes for application-specific materials. The constraints can be resolved using novel and customized processes such as fused deposition modeling (FDM) and stereo-lithography and ink-jet printing, which are facile, scalable and affordable 4D printing techniques, that are highly effective compared to powder bed printing, and other droplet-based printing technologies, and photo-polymerization methods. FDM has led to the generation of PLA and other polymers with self-deformation and controllable shape memory effects. Future applications should overcome constraints linked to machine workload limitations and 3D/4D printing constraints.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2021; 599:332-350.

Abstract
Aiming at enhancing the detection efficiency and identification accuracy of tetracycline under a high-temperature condition, this study focuses on an innovative fluorescent sensing system (MIP@CQD-PCM) based on molecularly imprinted phase-change microcapsules along with the carbon quantum dots (CQDs) embedded in their shell. This system was fabricated by microencapsulating n-eicosane as a phase change material (PCM) core within a CQDs-embedded SiO2 shell, followed by coating a tetracycline-templated molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) layer onto the surface of the SiO2 shell. The specific recognition sites to tetracycline molecules were finally achieved by removal of tetracycline template from the MIP layer. Comprehensive characterizations and investigations on the structure and performance of the fluorescent sensing system were given to confirm its successful fabrication in accordance to our design strategy. The resultant MIP@CQD-PCM exhibits a satisfactory thermal storage capacity and phase-change cycle stability for temperature regulation and thermal management applications under a phase-change enthalpy of over 162 J/g. Most of all, a typical fluorescence-quenching effect was obtained from the combination of the CQDs embedded in the SiO2 shell and the tetracycline molecules adsorbed in the MIP layer. This makes the MIP@CQD-PCM achieve an enhanced capability for the fluorescence identification of tetracycline in a high-temperature environment through the in situ thermal management of its PCM core. The MIP@CQD-PCM also displays high selectivity and good reusability for tetracycline detection in industrial applications. This work provides a promising strategy for the design and development of fluorescent sensing systems with high recognition efficiency and identification accuracy in the detection of hazardous substances.
