Abstract
A fluorescent sensing system based on a conjugated polyelectrolyte was constructed to detect dopamine (DA) in complex samples. The conjugated polymer PFPE-PBA with poly[fluorenyl-alt-p-phenyleneethynylene] (PFPE) as the backbone and carrying four pendant phenylboronic acid (PBA) groups in each repeat unit was synthesized. PFPE-PBA was found to have good solubility in polar solvents. After optimization, glycine-NaOH at pH 10 was selected as the buffer, and the solvent composition of the system was set to methanol/water (9/1 by volume). Titration experiments showed that DA could effectively quench the fluorescence of the polymer solution with a response time within 60 s and a limit of detection of 23 nM. Polyols, cations, and other possible interfering substances do not significantly affect the fluorescence of the polymer, thereby allowing for the highly selective detection of DA. Furthermore, quantitative determination of DA in spiked serum and artificial urine samples was successfully demonstrated, with recoveries ranging from 96.7 to 104%. Preliminary mechanism studies suggest that the pedant PBAs capture DA via reaction with the catechol group, and the fluorescence quenching is most likely due to the photoinduced electron transfer between the aromatic part of DA and the conjugated backbone. This study provides a general strategy for the future design of conjugated polyelectrolyte-based sensing systems.

Abstract
Recent years, fluorescent organic-inorganic hybrid nanomaterials have received a lot of interest as potential fluorescent sensor materials. In this study, fluorescent organic-inorganic hybrid nanomaterials (POSS@ANT) were created utilizing polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane as the precursor and 9,10-bromoanthracene as the monomer. The morphology and composition of POSS@ANT, as well as its pore characteristics and fluorescence properties were studied. And POSS@ANT displayed steady fluorescence emission at an excitation wavelength of 374 nm. Then a β-carotene fluorescence sensor was developed using the capacity of β-carotene to quench the fluorescence of POSS@ANT. The quenching process is linked to acceptor electron transfer and energy transfer, and the sensor has a high selectivity for β-carotene. This β-carotene fluorescence analysis method we established has a linear range of 0.2-4.3 mg/L and a detection limit of 0.081 mg/L. Finally, it was used to quantify β-carotene in health products, the recovery rate was 91.1% - 109.9%, the RSD was 2.2% - 4.3%, and the results were compatible with the results of high-performance liquid chromatography. The approach is reliable and can be used to determine β-carotene in health products.

Abstract
In this review, we describe recent progresses on the stimuli-responsive hybrid materials based on polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) and their applications as a chemical sensor. In particular, we explain the unique functions originating from molecular assembly concerning POSS-containing soft materials mainly from our studies. POSS has an inorganic cubic core composed of silicon-oxygen (Si-O) bonds and organic substituents at each vertex. Owing to intrinsic properties of POSS, such as high thermal stability, rigidity, and low chemical reactivity, various robust hybrid materials have been developed. From the numerous numbers of POSS hybrids, we herein focus on the environment-sensitive optical materials in which molecular assembly of POSS itself and functional units connected to POSS should be a key factor for expressing material properties. We also explain the mechanisms of chemical sensors originating from these stimuli-responsive optical properties. Stimuli-responsive excimer emission and pollutant detectors, nanoplastic sensors with the water-dispersive POSS networks, trans fatty acid sensors, turn-on luminescent sensors for aerobic condition and fluoride anion sensors are described. We also mention the mechanochromic polyurethane hybrids and the thermally-durable mechanochromic luminescent materials. The roles of the unique optical properties from soft materials composed of rigid POSS, which doesn't have significant light-absorption and emission properties in the visible region, are surveyed.

Abstract
Self-regulated "smart" insulin administration system that mimic pancreatic endocrine function would be highly desirable for diabetes management. Here, a glucose-responsive continuous insulin delivery system is developed, where novel polyhedral oligosilsesquioxane (POSS) modified with 3-aminophenylboronic acid (APBA) were used to encapsulate insulin (insulin entrapment efficiency: 73.2%) to prepare a fast response, high stability, good distribution, and excellent biocompatible system. Due to the strong hydrophobicity of POSS, the POSS moiety is located at the core in aqueous solution and combines with the boronic group of APBA and the diol generated in PEG-insulin to form a nanomicelle structure, that is, nanoparticles naturally. Micelles self-assembled from these molecules possess glucose-responsiveness at varying glucose concentrations. The interaction of the PBA and diol containing insulin via boronate ester bond and its interchange with glucose was investigated by FT-IR, 1H NMR and XPS. Furthermore, the successful glucose-triggered release of insulin from the POSS-APBA micelles was investigated at neutral pH. A linear graph was plotted with the measured released insulin vs glucose concentrations, with a linear correlation coefficient (R2) value close to 1. Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy analysis was performed to measure insulin activity by comparing secondary structures of insulin, PEG-Insulin, and POSS-APBA@insulin. When confirming intracellular apoptosis signaling, cleaved caspase 3 and caspase 9 were not increased by 640 μg/ml POSS-APBA and POSS-APBA@insulin in HeLa, HDF and HUVE cells. Application in the biomedical field for controlled delivery of insulin appear to be promising.

Abstract
Boronic acids reversibly and covalently bind to Lewis bases and polyols, which facilitated the development of a large number of chemical sensors to recognize carbohydrates, catecholamines, ions, hydrogen peroxide, and so on. However, as the binding mechanism of boronic acids and analytes is not very clear, it is still a challenge to discover sensors with high affinity and selectivity. In this review, boronic acid sensors with two recognition sites, including diboronic acid sensors, and monoboronic acid sensors having another group or binding moiety, are summarized. Owing to double recognition sites working synergistically, the binding affinity and selectivity of sensors can be improved significantly. This review may help researchers to sort out the binding rules and develop ideal boronic acid-based sensors.
