Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 274:132942. [PMID: 38848841 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132942] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2024] [Revised: 05/10/2024] [Accepted: 06/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024]
Abstract
Grafting thermo-responsive polymers onto cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and achieving critical temperature regulation has drawn significant research interest. The thermal transition behavior of CNCs can be controlled by adjusting the polymer molecular brushes on the CNCs surface. We synthesized poly((2-dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) grafted CNCs via surface-initiated reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer, followed by modifying PDMAEMA brushes into poly-3-dimethyl(methacryloyloxyethyl) ammonium propane sulfonate (PDMAPS) brushes via quaternization. The critical temperature was regulated by modifying and grafting of poly (ethylene glycol) methacrylate. Found the thermal stimulus-responsive type and transition point of CNCs can be controlled by adjusting the surface molecular brushes. Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering analyses indicated that CNC-PDMAEMA aggregated above 70 °C, whereas CNC-PDMAPS aggregated below 31 °C. The thermo-responsive materials based on CNCs exhibited a conversion from a lower critical aggregation temperature to an upper critical aggregation temperature (UCAT) type. CNC-PDMAPS-mPEG was obtained by modifying and grafting for UCAT to be regulated to approximately 37 °C, which is close to the human body temperature. CNC-PDMAPS and CNC-PDMAPS-mPEG exhibited only microscopic alterations and could encapsulate and release substances. Therefore, they demonstrate considerable potential for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Cellulose nanocrystal (CNC), as a renewable resource, with excellent mechanical performance, low thermal expansion coefficient, and unique optical performance, is becoming a novel candidate for the development of smart material. Herein, the recent progress of CNC-based chirality nanomaterials is uncovered, mainly covering structure regulations and function design. Undergoing a simple evaporation process, the cellulose nanorods can spontaneously assemble into chiral nematic films, accompanied by a vivid structural color. Various film structure-controlling strategies, including assembly means, physical modulation, additive engineering, surface modification, geometric structure regulation, and external field optimization, are summarized in this work. The intrinsic correlation between structure and performance is emphasized. Next, the applications of CNC-based nanomaterials is systematically reviewed. Layer-by-layer stacking structure and unique optical activity endow the nanomaterials with wide applications in the mineralization, bone regeneration, and synthesis of mesoporous materials. Besides, the vivid structural color broadens the functions in anti-counterfeiting engineering, synthesis of the shape-memory and self-healing materials. Finally, the challenges for the CNC-based nanomaterials are proposed.

Abstract
Poly(aspartamide) derivatives, one kind of amino acid-based polymers with excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, meet the key requirements for application in various areas of biomedicine. Poly(aspartamide) derivatives with stimuli-responsiveness can usually respond to external stimuli to change their chemical or physical properties. Using external stimuli such as temperature and pH as switches, these smart poly(aspartamide) derivatives can be used for convenient drug loading and controlled release. Here, we review the synthesis strategies for preparing these stimuli-responsive poly(aspartamide) derivatives and the latest developments in their applications as drug carriers.

Abstract
In the traditional desorption method, strong acid is commonly used as an eluent for the regeneration of adsorbents. It is of critical economic and environmental significance to develop a chemical-free desorption method. In this study, a new CO2-responsive chitosan aerogel adsorbent was synthesized from CO2-responsive poly(acrylic acid-2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) and chitosan by physicochemical double crosslinking for the adsorption of Cu2+. Compared with the chitosan aerogel, the adsorption capacity of Cu2+ and mechanical properties of CO2-responsive chitosan aerogel increased by 162% and 660%, respectively. Most importantly, after the adsorption of Cu2+ by CO2-responsive chitosan aerogel, the Cu2+ could be desorbed by CO2 bubbling, and the desorption rate of metal ions was more than 80%. The adsorption of Cu2+ by aerogel was attributed to chelation and complexation. The desorption of porous chitosan/P(AA-co-DMAEMA) aerogels (CPA) by CO2 mainly occurred through charge repulsion of protonated ‒NH2 and ‒N‒ groups. After 6 cycles, the adsorption capacity of CPA for metal ions still reached 70% of the initial adsorption capacity, and the desorption rate reached 75%. This novel CO2-responsive chitosan aerogel is a highly efficient and environmentally friendly adsorbent for the adsorption and recovery of metal ions.

Abstract
Functionalization of carbon nanotube (CNT) with polymers has drawn much attention due to its wide range of applications. Polymer-functionalized CNT could exhibit variety of properties, such as responsivity to environmental stimuli, ability of complexation with metal ions, increased dispersibility in different solvents, higher compatibility with polymer matrix, etc. Chemical and physical methods have been developed for the preparation of polymer-functionalized CNT. Polymer chains are chemically bonded to the CNT edge or surface in the chemical methods, which results in highly stable CNT/polymer composites. "Grafting to", "grafting from", and "grafting through" methods are the most common chemical methods for polymer-functionalization of CNT. In "grafting to" method, pre-fabricated polymer chains are coupled with the either functionalized or non-functionalized CNT. In "grafting from" and "grafting through" methods, CNT is functionalized by polymers simultaneously synthesized by in situ polymerization methods. Conventional free radical polymerization (FRP) and also controlled radical polymerization (CRP) are the most promising methods for in situ tethering of polymer brushes onto the surface of CNT due to their control over the grafting density, thickness, and functionality of the polymer brushes. The main focus of this review is on the synthesis of polymer-functionalized CNT via both the "grafting from" and "grafting through" methods on the basis of FRP and CRP routs, which is commonly known as in situ polymerizations. Finally, the most important challenges and applications of the in situ polymer grafting methods are discussed, which could be interesting for the future works.
