[PMID: 39227092 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.122548] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2023] [Revised: 07/19/2024] [Accepted: 07/24/2024] [Indexed: 09/05/2024]
Abstract
Many amines with high toxicity always cause a serious threat to the ecological environment and human health; thus, their detection is important. Herein, a dual-mode colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescent sensor based on cellulose for detecting amines has been constructed by a new strategy. This sensor is made of a "negative response" indicator (Lum-MDI-CA) and a "positive response" indicator (perylene tetracarboxylic acid, PTCA). Lum-MDI-CA was obtained by attaching luminol onto cellulose chains, which emitted blue fluorescence and was quenched upon contact with amines. A possible mechanism of fluorescence quenching phenomenon is proposed by the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) of Lum-MDI-CA. Subsequently, by simply mixing Lum-MDI-CA with PTCA, a dual-mode fluorescence sensor was designed for visual detection and classification of amines. When adding ammonia (NH3), morpholine (MOR), benzylamine (BNZ), diethylamine (DEA), and triethylamine (TEA), respectively, the dual-mode sensor showed visible different color changes under both UV light and daylight. In addition, owing to the excellent processibility and formability of cellulose acetate backbone, the prepared sensor can be easily processed into different material forms, including inks, coatings, films, and fibers, which still exhibit excellent fluorescence emission. Such sensors based on cellulose fluorescent materials are of great value in anti-counterfeiting and information encryption.

Development of a continuous electrochemical reactor incorporated with waste-derived activated carbon electrode for the effective removal of hexavalent chromium from industrial effluent. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024; 31:50297-50315.

Abstract
Being a recognized carcinogen, hexavalent chromium is hazardous to both human and environmental health. Thus, it is imperative to regulate and oversee their levels in a variety of industries, including textiles, dyes, pigments, and metal finishing. This study strives to reduce Cr(VI) in wastewater by using capacitive deionization in conjunction with an activated carbon-based electrode and a continuous electrochemical reactor (CER). Activated carbon derived from rubberwood sawdust demonstrated excellent properties, including a high surface area of 1157 m2 g-1. The electrical conductivity and mechanical stability of the electrode were enhanced by the incorporation of synthesized expanded graphite (EG) into the AC. Key parameters were optimized via systematic batch electroreduction experiments with an optimal response surface design. The efficacy of the fabricated CER was proved when it successfully reduced Cr(VI) in a 5 mg L-1 solution within 15 min under optimized conditions, in contrast to the considerably longer durations anticipated by conventional methods. Validation of these findings was done by treating industrial wastewater of 30 mg L-1 in the CER. The electroreduction of Cr(VI) followed the Langmuir isotherm with a maximum capacity of 13.491 mg g-1 and pseudo-second-order kinetics. These results indicate that the combined use of the modified AC electrode and CER holds potential as a sustainable and economical approach to effectively eliminate Cr(VI) from wastewater.

Abstract
Surface-engineered gold nanoparticles have been considered as versatile systems for theranostics applications. Moreover, surface covering or stabilizing agents on gold nanoparticles especially gold nanobipyramids (AuNBPs) provides an extra space for cargo molecules entrapment. However, it is not well studied yet and also the preparation of AuNBPs still remains dependent largely on cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), a cytotoxic surfactant. Therefore, the direct use of CTAB stabilized nanoparticles is not recommended for cancer theranostics applications. Herein, we address an approach of dodecyl ethyl dimethylammonium bromide (DMAB) as biocompatible structure directing agent for AuNBPs, which also accommodate anticancer drug doxorubicin (45%), an additional chemotherapeutics agent. Upon near-infrared light (NIR, 808 nm) exposure, engineered AuNBPs exhibit (i) better phototransduction (51 °C) due to NIR absorption ability (650-900 nm), (ii) photo triggered drug release (more than 80%), and (iii) synergistic chemophototherapy for breast cancer cells. Drug release response has been evaluated in tumor microenvironment conditions (84% in acidic pH and 80% at high GSH) due to protonation and high affinity of thiol binding with AuNBPs followed by DMAB replacement. Intracellular glutathione (GSH, 5-7.5 mM) replaces DMAB from AuNBPs, which cause easy aggregation of nanoparticles as corroborated by colorimetric shifts, suggesting their utilization as a molecular sensing probe of early stage cancer biomarkers. Our optimized recipe yield is monodisperse DMAB-AuNBPs with ∼90% purity even at large scales (500 mL volume per batch). DMAB-AuNBPs show better cell viability (more than 90%) across all concentrations (5-500 ug/mL) when directly compared to CTAB-AuNBPs (less than 10%). Our findings show the potential of DMAB-AuNBPs for early stage cancer detection and theranostics applications.

Abstract
Nanoparticle formulations blending optical imaging contrast agents and therapeutics have been a cornerstone of preclinical theranostic applications. However, nanoparticle-based theranostics clinical translation faces challenges on reproducibility, brightness, photostability, biocompatibility, and selective tumor targeting and penetration. In this study, we integrate multimodal imaging and therapeutics within cancer cell-derived nanovesicles, leading to biomimetic bright optotheranostics for monitoring cancer metastasis. Upon NIR light irradiation, the engineered optotheranostics enables deep visualization and precise localization of metastatic lung, liver, and solid breast tumors along with solid tumor ablation. Metastatic cell-derived nanovesicles (∼80 ± 5 nm) are engineered to encapsulate imaging (emissive organic dye and gold nanoparticles) and therapeutic agents (anticancer drug doxorubicin and photothermally active organic indocyanine green dye). Systemic administration of biomimetic bright optotheranostic nanoparticles shows escape from mononuclear phagocytic clearance with (i) rapid tumor accumulation (3 h) and retention (up to 168 h), (ii) real-time monitoring of metastatic lung, liver, and solid breast tumors and (iii) 3-fold image-guided solid tumor reduction. These findings are supported by an improvement of X-ray, fluorescence, and photoacoustic signals while demonstrating a tumor reduction (201 mm3) in comparison with single therapies that includes chemotherapy (134 mm3), photodynamic therapy (72 mm3), and photothermal therapy (88mm3). The proposed innovative platform opens new avenues to improve cancer diagnosis and treatment outcomes by allowing the monitorization of cancer metastasis, allowing the precise cancer imaging, and delivering synergistic therapeutic agents at the solid tumor site.

Abstract
Cigarette waste are pervasive litter on Earth, posing a major threat to organisms and ecosystems. However, these waste contain cellulose acetate (CA) and can be recycled, transforming into raw materials for new products. Polymers like CA can be used in biomedical applications as drug carriers and scaffolds for drug release. In this study, cigarette filters waste was collected, recycled and used for fabricating the nanofibrous membrane of cellulose acetate nanofibers (CFCA) through electrospinning technique. Tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) was encapsulated in the nanofibers to prevent bacterial infections. Various analyses were conducted: Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction Analysis (XRD) and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). CA and CFCA exhibited high water uptake properties and exhibited similar breaking stress and strain values. Both CA and CFCA effectively acted as stable drug carriers, with sustained in vitro drug release. Antibacterial activity was demonstrated by the drug-loaded CA and CFCA nanofibers against, Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli. Based on their cytotoxicity evaluations on mouse fibroblast cells (L929), CA and CFCA fibrous mats demonstrated no cytotoxicity and similar cell viability results. Consequently, the TC-loaded nanofibers made from CA and CFCA exhibited suitable properties for wound healing applications.

Abstract
Tailoring the surface of biodegradable microparticles is important for various applications in the fields of cosmetics, biotechnology, and drug delivery. Chitin nanofibers (ChNFs) are one of the promising materials for surface tailoring owing to its functionality, such as biocompatibility and antibiotic properties. Here, we show biodegradable polymer microparticles densely coated with ChNFs. Cellulose acetate (CA) was used as the core material in this study, and ChNF coating was successfully carried out via a one-pot aqueous process. The average particle size of the ChNF-coated CA microparticles was approximately 6 μm, and the coating procedure had little effect on the size or shape of the original CA microparticles. The ChNF-coated CA microparticles comprised 0.2-0.4 wt% of the thin surface ChNF layers. Owing to the surface cationic ChNFs, the ζ-potential value of the ChNF-coated microparticles was +27.4 mV. The surface ChNF layer efficiently adsorbed anionic dye molecules, and repeatable adsorption/desorption behavior was exhibited owing to the coating stability of the surface ChNFs. The ChNF coating in this study was a facile aqueous process and was applicable to CA-based materials of various sizes and shapes. This versatility will open new possibilities for future biodegradable polymer materials that satisfy the increasing demand for sustainable development.

Abstract
This review addresses the reconstruction of structural plant components (cellulose, lignin, and hemicelluloses) into materials displaying advanced optical properties. The strategies to isolate the main building blocks are discussed, and the effects of fibrillation, fibril alignment, densification, self-assembly, surface-patterning, and compositing are presented considering their role in engineering optical performance. Then, key elements that enable lignocellulosic to be translated into materials that present optical functionality, such as transparency, haze, reflectance, UV-blocking, luminescence, and structural colors, are described. Mapping the optical landscape that is accessible from lignocellulosics is shown as an essential step toward their utilization in smart devices. Advanced materials built from sustainable resources, including those obtained from industrial or agricultural side streams, demonstrate enormous promise in optoelectronics due to their potentially lower cost, while meeting or even exceeding current demands in performance. The requirements are summarized for the production and application of plant-based optically functional materials in different smart material applications and the review is concluded with a perspective about this active field of knowledge.

Abstract
New nanoparticles and biomaterials are increasingly being used in biomedical research for drug delivery, diagnostic applications, or vaccines, and they are also present in numerous commercial products, in the environment and workplaces. Thus, the evaluation of the safety and possible therapeutic application of these nanomaterials has become of foremost importance for the proper progress of nanotechnology. Due to economical and ethical issues, in vitro and in vivo methods are encouraged for the testing of new compounds and/or nanoparticles, however in vivo models are still needed. In this scenario, zebrafish (Danio rerio) has demonstrated potential for toxicological and pharmacological screenings. Zebrafish presents an innate immune system, from early developmental stages, with conserved macrophage phenotypes and functions with respect to humans. This fact, combined with the transparency of zebrafish, the availability of models with fluorescently labelled macrophages, as well as a broad variety of disease models offers great possibilities for the testing of new nanoparticles. Thus, with a particular focus on macrophage-nanoparticle interaction in vivo, here, we review the studies using zebrafish for toxicological and biodistribution testing of nanoparticles, and also the possibilities for their preclinical evaluation in various diseases, including cancer and autoimmune, neuroinflammatory, and infectious diseases.

Abstract
Nanomedicine is a rapidly emerging field with several breakthroughs in the therapeutic drug delivery application. The unique properties of the nanoscale delivery systems offer huge advantages to their payload such as solubilization, increased bioavailability, and improved pharmacokinetics with an overall goal of enhanced therapeutic index. Nanomedicine has the potential for integrating and enabling new therapeutic modalities. Several nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems have been granted approval for clinical use based on their outstanding clinical outcomes. Nanomedicine faces several challenges that hinder the realization of its full potential. In this review, we discuss the critical formulation- and biological-related quality features that significantly influence the performance of nanoparticulate systems in vivo. We also discuss the quality-by-design approach in the pharmaceutical manufacturing and its implementation in the nanomedicine. A deep understanding of these nanomedicine quality checkpoints and a systematic design that takes them into consideration will hopefully expedite the clinical translation process. Graphical abstract.

Cross-Linked and Surface-Modified Cellulose Acetate as a Cover Layer for Paper-Based Electrochromic Devices. ACS APPLIED POLYMER MATERIALS 2021; 3:2393-2401.

Abstract
We studied the surface and microstructure of cellulose acetate (CA) films to tailor their barrier and mechanical properties for application in electrochromic devices (ECDs). Cross-linking of CA was carried out with pyromellitic dianhydride to enhance the properties relative to unmodified CA: solvent resistance (by 43% in acetone and 37% in DMSO), strength (by 91% for tensile at break), and barrier (by 65% to oxygen and 92% to water vapor). Surface modification via tetraethyl orthosilicate and octyltrichlorosilane endowed the films with hydrophobicity, stiffness, and further enhanced solvent resistance. A detailed comparison of structural, chemical, surface, and thermal properties was performed by using X-ray diffraction, dynamic mechanical analyses, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy. Coplanar ECDs were synthesized by incorporating a hydrogel electrolyte comprising TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibrils and an ionic liquid. When applied as the top layer in the ECDs, cross-linked and hydrophobized CA films extended the functionality of the assembled displays. The results indicate excellent prospects for CA films in achieving environmental-friendly ECDs that can replace poly(ethylene terephthalate)-based counterparts.

Abstract
Cellulose derivatives represent a viable alternative to pure cellulose due to their solubility in water and common organic solvents. This, coupled with their low cost, biocompatibility, and biodegradability, makes them an attractive choice for applications related to the biomedicine and bioanalysis area. Cellulose derivatives-based composites with improved properties were researched as films and membranes for osseointegration, hemodialysis and biosensors, smart textile fibers, tissue engineering scaffolds, hydrogels and nanoparticles for drug delivery. The different preparation strategies of these polymeric composites as well as the most recent available experimental results were described in this review. General aspects such as structure and properties of cellulose extracted from plants or bacterial sources, types of cellulose derivatives and their synthesis methods were also discussed. Finally, the future perspectives related to composites based on cellulose derivatives were highlighted and some conclusions regarding the reviewed applications were drawn.

Abstract
Developing nanoparticles capable of detecting, targeting, and destroying cancer cells is of great interest in the field of nanomedicine. In vivo animal models are required for bridging the nanotechnology to its biomedical application. The mouse represents the traditional animal model for preclinical testing; however, mice are relatively expensive to keep and have long experimental cycles due to the limited progeny from each mother. The zebrafish has emerged as a powerful model system for developmental and biomedical research, including cancer research. In particular, due to its optical transparency and rapid development, zebrafish embryos are well suited for real-time in vivo monitoring of the behavior of cancer cells and their interactions with their microenvironment. This method was developed to sequentially introduce human cancer cells and functionalized nanoparticles in transparent Casper zebrafish embryos and monitor in vivo recognition and targeting of the cancer cells by nanoparticles in real time. This optimized protocol shows that fluorescently labeled nanoparticles, which are functionalized with folate groups, can specifically recognize and target metastatic human cervical epithelial cancer cells labeled with a different fluorochrome. The recognition and targeting process can occur as early as 30 min postinjection of the nanoparticles tested. The whole experiment only requires the breeding of a few pairs of adult fish and takes less than 4 days to complete. Moreover, zebrafish embryos lack a functional adaptive immune system, allowing the engraftment of a wide range of human cancer cells. Hence, the utility of the protocol described here enables the testing of nanoparticles on various types of human cancer cells, facilitating the selection of optimal nanoparticles in each specific cancer context for future testing in mammals and the clinic.

Abstract
New ultrabright fluorescent silica nanoparticles capable of the fast targeting of epithelial tumors in vivo are presented. The as-synthesized folate-functionalized ultrabright particles of 30-40 nm are 230 times brighter than quantum dots (QD450) and 50% brighter than the polymer dots with similar spectra (excitation 365 nm and emission 486 nm). To decrease non-specific targeting, particles are coated with polyethylene glycol (PEG). We demonstrate the in vivo targeting of xenographic human cervical epithelial tumors (HeLa cells) using zebrafish as a model system. The particles target tumors (and probably even individual HeLa cells) as small as 10-20 microns within 20-30 minutes after blood injection. To demonstrate the advantages of ultrabrightness, we repeated the experiments with similar but 200× less bright particles. Compared to those, ultrabright particles showed ∼3× faster tumor detection and ∼2× higher relative fluorescent contrast of tumors/cancer cells.

Abstract
The cellulose acetate (CA) nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared via the nanoprecipitation technique. The effects of solvent mixture quality and order of addition on the size evolution of CA NPs were investigated. The size of CA NPs was reduced by decreasing the nonsolvent-solvent mixture interaction parameter (χNS-mS) and by increasing the polymer-solvent mixture interaction parameter (χP-mS). The NPs prepared by the method of addition of the polymer solution to the nonsolvent were smaller than those prepared by addition of the nonsolvent to the polymer solution. The very small CA NPs with the diameter of 37 nm and very narrow PdI of 0.045 were fabricated without using any surfactant and charged groups. The role of surface tension and osmotic pressure forces on the formation of NPs were discussed. The formation mechanism of NPs could be assigned to the rapid polymer precipitation and solidification (vitrification) of the nuclei.

Abstract
Ultrabright fluorescent particles (UFPs) have attracted increasing attention because of their outstanding signal amplification functions. However, there is still an urgent demand for designing novel UFPs with new components or structures as the existing ones can not satisfy the practical requirements due to their inherent disadvantages. Here we propose a novel ultrabright fluorescent particle platform by doping dyes of 5-aminofluorescein (5-AF) into silica core-based spherical poly (acrylic acid) brushes (SiO2@PAA@5-AF) and discuss their fundamental structure-fluorescence tuning principles. A series of brushes with different polymer chain lengths are successfully synthesized and then loaded with 5-AF through chemical binding. The high loading amount, suitable density or distribution, and enhanced quantum yield (QY) of 5-AF due to the amide bond formation with PAA chains on brushes are concluded as the three major reasons for the ultrabrightness of SiO2@PAA@5-AF. Therefore, a 2350 ± 445 times brighter brush particle in comparison to a single quantum dot (QD) is realized, and a 2.1 ± 0.4 times fluorescence improvement of a brush vs. a QD normalized by volume is also achieved when taking the hydrodynamic diameter into consideration (∼300 nm vs. ∼30 nm). Moreover, the excellent tolerance stabilities in normally applied environments and outstanding label effects to form 4-plexed encoded beads are demonstrated as well. The results in this work strongly indicate a promising potential of SiO2@PAA@5-AF as an ultrabright and stable signal amplification tool for biomedical related sensing, labeling, and biodetection.
