Abstract
Conventional fluorophores suffer from low sensitivity and selectivity in amine detection due to the inherent limitations in their "one-to-one" stoichiometric sensing mechanism. Herein, we propose a "one-to-many" chain reaction-like sensing mechanism by creating a domino chain consisting of one fluorescent molecule (e.g., PTF1) and up to 40 nonemissive polymer chains (pPFPA) comprising over thousand repeating units (PFPA). PTF1 (the domino trigger) interacts with adjacent PFPA units (the following blocks) through polar-π interactions and initiates the domino effect, creating effective through-space conjugation along pPFPA chains and generating amplified yellow fluorescent signals through charge transfer between PTF1 and pPFPA. Amine exposure causes rapid dismantling of the fluorophore-pPFPA-based domino chain and significantly reduces the amplified emissions, thus providing an ultrasensitive method for detecting amines. Relying on the above merits, we achieve a limit of detection of 177 ppq (or 1.67 × 10-12 M) for triethylamine, which is nearly 4 orders lower than that of previous methods. Additionally, the distinct reactivity of pPFPA toward different amines allows for the discrimination of primary, secondary, and tertiary amines. This study presents a "domino effect" sensing mechanism that has not yet been reported and provides a general approach for chemical detection that is beyond the reach of conventional methods.

Abstract
Nitroaromatic compounds are illicit explosive chemicals. For environmental security and homeland safety, selective and sensitive identification of these secondary-class explosives has been a reason for the exhaustive research arena of chemists for about a decade. We introduced a sensitive optical sensor with desalted neutral red (NR) dye. After ingressing picric acid (PA) in acetonitrile, the probe becomes non-fluorescent, displaying a colorimetric change from yellow to pink. The quenched phenomena and the changed color were re-established with aliphatic amine, trimethylamine (TEA). The reversibility is produced cyclically, both in fluorimetrically and spectrophotometrically. The detection limit for PA with our probe comes out as 0.639 µM; this value is significantly lower than many chemosensors available in the literature. Also, NR-stained filter paper strips-based test kit analysis has been deployed as a displayable photonic device for in-situ detection of PA. Furthermore, the whole system was conceptualized to produce single input, single output, and double input single output logic gates, which can be applied to digital devices. The chronological input manner as NTP (NR- TEA-PA) pushed us to configure a molecular keypad lock system, the basis of digital locking devices. The repeatable & reversible detection system exhibits "Write read- Erase-read Write-read' type memory devices.

Abstract
A new amphiphilic oligosaccharide derivative, based on lutein modification onto the OH position of stachyose with facile and mild esterification, was prepared and used to improve the oral bioavailability of lutein. The structures of lutein-stachyose derivative (LS) were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and hydrogen-1 nuclear magnetic resonance, indicating that one stachyose is connected to one lutein through succinic acid. The critical micelle concentration of LS was approximately 6.86 ± 0.24 mg/mL, corresponding to the free lutein concentration of approximately 2.96 mg/mL. LS has better digestive stability and free radical scavenging ability, and it could inhibit the degradation of lutein in the gastrointestinal tract. Importantly, LS is nontoxic to cells and zebrafish embryos. In terms of oral bioavailability in rats, the AUC0-12h values of LS were 2.26 times higher than those of free lutein. Therefore, stachyose modification is a promising strategy for improving the oral bioavailability of fat-soluble lutein.

Abstract
Two pairs of stable isotope labeling (SIL) agents, (4-carboxyphenyl)trimethylammonium iodide (d0-CPTA) and its deuterated counterpart d3-CPTA, 1-methyl-nicotinamide iodide (d0-MNA) and its deuterated counterpart d3-MNA, were designed and synthesized. Their mass spectrometry (MS) sensitivity enhancement effect was studied and compared with commercial dansyl chloride to provide inspiration for labeling agent design. CPTA with quaternary ammonium group showed much higher MS sensitivity enhancement effect and was applied to the SIL analysis of alkylamines in food and food packaging materials. The matrix effect was minimized due to the SIL strategy and the permanent charge of the CPTA. The limits of detection (LODs) were in the range of 2.9-5.1 ng/L, and the limits of quantitation (LOQs) were in the range of 9.6-16.8 ng/L. The recoveries ranged from 91.2 % to 97.1 % with relative standard deviations of less than 6.6 %, and the matrix effect ranged from -1.8 % to -4.9 %.

Abstract
Concurrent developments in anticancer nanotechnological treatments have been observed as the burden of cancer increases every year. The 21st century has seen a transformation in the study of medicine thanks to the advancement in the field of material science and nanomedicine. Improved drug delivery systems with proven efficacy and fewer side effects have been made possible. Nanoformulations with varied functions are being created using lipids, polymers, and inorganic and peptide-based nanomedicines. Therefore, thorough knowledge of these intelligent nanomedicines is crucial for developing very promising drug delivery systems. Polymeric micelles are often simple to make and have high solubilization characteristics; as a result, they seem to be a promising alternative to other nanosystems. Even though recent studies have provided an overview of polymeric micelles, here we included a discussion on the "intelligent" drug delivery from these systems. We also summarized the state-of-the-art and the most recent developments of polymeric micellar systems with respect to cancer treatments. Additionally, we gave significant attention to the clinical translation potential of polymeric micellar systems in the treatment of various cancers.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active micelles are a type of fluorescent functional materials that exhibit enhanced emissions in the aggregated surfactant state. They have received significant interest due to their excellent fluorescence efficiency in the aggregated state, remarkable processability, and solubility. AIE-active micelles can be designed through the self-assembly of amphipathic AIE luminogens (AIEgens) and the encapsulation of non-emissive amphipathic molecules in AIEgens. Currently, a wide range of AIE-active micelles have been constructed, with a significant increase in research interest in this area. A series of advanced techniques has been used to characterize AIE-active micelles, such as cryogenic-electron microscopy (Cryo-EM) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). This review provides an overview of the synthesis, characterization, and applications of AIE-active micelles, especially their applications in cell and in vivo imaging, biological and organic compound sensors, anticancer drugs, gene delivery, chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy, and photocatalytic reactions, with a focus on the most recent developments. Based on the synergistic effect of micelles and AIE, it is anticipated that this review will guide the development of innovative and fascinating AIE-active micelle materials with exciting architectures and functions in the future.

Abstract
Although benzofuran-2-boronic acid hardly emits fluorescence, it can be rapidly converted to a highly fluorescent benzofuran dimer after mixing with a palladium catalyst and amine. We found that a fluorescence enhancement accompanying dimerization was quantitatively promoted upon increasing the concentration of amine. In the present study, we developed a simple fluorescence assay for amines based on the promotive effect. As the result of a fluorescence measurement of the reaction mixture of 19 kinds of typical amines, it was found that tertiary amines including triethylamine (TEA) provided a significant fluorescence enhancement. Finally, the fluorogenic reaction could be applied to develop a high-throughput fluorescent microplate assay for TEA with the limit of detection (blank + 3SD) of 0.091 μM.

Abstract
The rapid development of drug nanocarriers has benefited from the surface hydrophilic polymers of particles, which has improved the pharmacokinetics of the drugs. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a kind of polymeric material with unique hydrophilicity and electrical neutrality. PEG coating is a crucial factor to improve the biophysical and chemical properties of nanoparticles and is widely studied. Protein adherence and macrophage removal are effectively relieved due to the existence of PEG on the particles. This review discusses the PEGylation methods of nanoparticles and related techniques that have been used to detect the PEG coverage density and thickness on the surface of the nanoparticles in recent years. The molecular weight (MW) and coverage density of the PEG coating on the surface of nanoparticles are then described to explain the effects on the biophysical and chemical properties of nanoparticles.

Abstract
Picric acid (PA) at low concentration is a serious water pollutant. Alongside, aliphatic amines (AAs) add to the queue to pollute surface water. Plenty of reports are available to sense PA with an ultralow limit of detection (LOD). However, only a handful of works are testified to detect AAs. A new fluorescent donor-acceptor compound has been synthesized with inherent intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) character that enables selective and sensitive colorimetric quantitative detection of PA and AAs with low LODs in non-aqueous as well as aqueous solutions. The synthesized compound is based on a hemicyanine skeleton containing two pyridenylmethylamino groups at the donor and a benzothiazole moiety at the acceptor ends. The detailed mechanisms and reaction dynamics are explained spectroscopically along with computational support. The fluorescence property of the detecting compound changes due to protonation of its pyridinyl centers by PA leading to quenching of fluorescence and subsequently de-protonation by AAs to revive the signal. We have further designed logic circuits from the acquired optical responses by sequential interactions.

Abstract
Functional polymer systems with stimuli responses have attracted great attention over the years due to their diverse range of applications. Such polymers are capable of altering their chemical and/or physical properties, such as chemical structures, chain conformation, solubility, shape, morphologies, and optical properties, in response to single or multiple stimuli. Among various stimuli-responsive polymers, those with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties possess the advantages of high sensitivity, fast response, large contrast, excellent photostability, and low background noise. The changes in fluorescence signal can be conveniently detected and monitored using portable instruments. The integration of AIE and stimuli responses into one polymer system provides a feasible and effective strategy for the development of smart polymers with high sensitivity to environmental variations. Here, we review the recent advances in the design, preparation, performance, and applications of functional synthetic polymer systems with AIE and stimuli responses. Various AIE-based polymer systems with responsiveness toward single physical or chemical stimuli as well as multiple stimuli are summarized with specific examples. The current challenges and perspectives on the future development of this research area will also be discussed at the end of this review.

Abstract
In this study, we present the classical Michael's addition reaction-based sensing scheme for volatile organic amine reagents such as ethylenediamine, N, N-dimethylethylenediamine and diethylenetriamine using a near-infrared fluorescent dye TCF1. Obvious spectral changes in the UV-vis absorption and fluorescence spectra of TCF1 were observed upon addition of these amine reagents with an effective catalyst DBU, resulting in significant and fast color changes detectable by the naked-eye. TCF1 showed an efficient response to these amine reagents with a low detection limit, especially for diethylenetriamine. NMR and MS spectral analysis proved that the mechanism of the detection was based on the classical Michael addition, which was also verified by the theoretical calculations. In addition, a portable test paper incorporated with TCF1 had also successfully realized the detection of a low concentration of these amine reagents.

Abstract
A novel dual-emissive ratiometric fluorescence (RF) probe CDs/QDs@ZIF-8 has been successfully constructed by employing a simple and effective strategy for in situ encapsulating carbon dots (CDs) and thioglycolic acid-modified CdTe quantum dots (QDs) into porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) "cage". The dual responsive colorimetric fluorescence probe was developed for the ultra-high selectivity and sensitivity continuous detection of Pb2+ (turn OFF) and PO43- (turn ON) in biological samples. Blue CDs acts as a stable internal standard emission, the emission color of CDs/QDs@ZIF-8 changes from red to blue with introducing Pb2+, fluorescence of probe is quenched because of the binding of Pb2+ ions to thioglycolic acid on the surface of probe and e- transfer from the photoexcited QDs to Pb2+ ions, color can be recovered after the adding PO43- to CDs/QDs@ZIF-8-Pb2+ system, which could take away Pb2+ ions from the surface of CDs/QDs@ZIF-8. More importantly, fabricated agar test papers was also successfully applied in visual detection of Pb2+ and PO43- in real samples, which can implement without instrument-specific calibration.

Abstract
It is practical and challenging to construct ultrasensitive and multi-responsive sensors for visual and real-time monitoring of the environment. Herein, a cellulose-based multi-responsive fluorescent sensor (Phen-MDI-CA) is fabricated, and realizes a visual and ultrasensitive detection of not only various amines but also three anions based on the change of the fluorescence and/or visible colors. Once exposure to various amines in both the solution and vapor state, the Phen-MDI-CA solution and test paper exhibit different fluorescence colors, which can be used to distinguish triethylamine, ethylenediamine, methylamine, aniline, hydrazine and pyrrolidine from other amines. Moreover, via combining the Phen-MDI-CA with the Phen-MDI-CA/malachite green ratiometric system, phosphate (PO43-), carbonate (CO32-) and borate (B4O72-) can be visually and accurately recognized depending on the change of the visible and fluorescence colors. In fluorescent mode, the LOD for B4O72-, PO43- and CO32- ions is as low as 0.18 nmol, 0.69 nmol and 0.86 nmol, respectively. Significantly, the Phen-MDI-CA can readily make a qualitative and quantitative detection of B4O72-, PO43- and CO32- anions in the mixture of anions. The state-of-the-art responsive behavior of Phen-MDI-CA originates from the amplification effect of cellulose polymer chain and the differentiated interactions between the sensor and analytes.

Abstract
Pollutant detection is of great importance for quality control of drinking water and environmental protection. The common methods of pollutant detection suffer from time-consuming procedures, bulky and expensive instruments, and complicated sample pretreatment. Herein, a type of conceptually new self-amplified fluorescent nanoparticle (SAFN) is constructed based on aggregation-induced emission (AIE) luminogens for rapid and visual detection of xylene in aqueous media. AIE luminogens are self-assembled into SAFNs in aqueous media, which emit efficiently due to the aggregation of luminogen molecules. The SAFNs of AIE luminogens stick xylene molecules from aqueous media through multiple interactions including hydrophobic and π-π interactions. Upon capturing xylene, SAFNs swell, which quench the fluorescence of the whole SAFNs, showing the self-amplification effect. Such a self-amplification effect is entirely different from that of conjugated polymers in the literature. Importantly, fluorescence quenching of SAFNs by xylene can be readily observed by the naked eye, which enables visual xylene sensing. The SAFNs enable rapid and visual detection of xylene in aqueous media with a low detection limit (5 μg/L) in the order of seconds. Given high sensitivity, rapid response, simple and easy operation, and low cost, SAFNs of AIE luminogens present a promising platform for visual detection of organic pollutants in aqueous media.

Abstract
A typical amphiphilic star polymer adamantane-[poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)-bis(2-carboxyethyl) sulfide-poly(ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether)]₄ with a specific hydrophilic/redox-sensitive/hydrophobic structure was designed and synthesized through ring opening and esterification reactions. The self-assembled nanomicelles were used as doxorubicin (DOX) delivery vehicles with suitable critical micelle concentrations (5.0 mg/L). After the drug being loaded, drug-loaded micelles showed good drug-loading efficiency (10.39%), encapsulation efficiency (58.1%), and drug release (up to 60%) under simulated biological environment conditions. In addition, the backbone structure of the biodegradable polymer was easily hydrolyzed by the action of biological enzymes. As expected, cell-based studies showed that the designed polymer micelles possessed good biocompatibility (a survival rate of 85% for NH-3T3 cells). Moreover, the drug (DOX) still maintained good anti-cancer effects after being loaded, which caused 40% of MCF-7 cells to survive. These redox-sensitive micelles showed anti-tumor therapeutic potential.
