Abstract
Prior studies on photonic pigments of amphiphilic bottlebrush block copolymers (BBCPs) through an organized spontaneous emulsification (OSE) mechanism have been limited to using polyethylene glycol (PEG) as the hydrophilic side chains and toluene as the organic phase. Herein, a family of polystyrene-block-polyvinylpyrrolidone (PS-b-PVP) BBCPs are synthesized with PVP as the hydrophilic block. Biocompatible and sustainable anisole is employed for dissolving the obtained BBCPs followed by emulsification of the solutions in water. Subsequent evaporation of oil-in-water emulsion droplets triggers the OSE mechanism, producing thermodynamically stable water-in-oil-in-water (w/o/w) multiple emulsions with uniform and closely packed internal droplet arrays through the assembly of the BBCPs at the w/o interface. Upon solidification, the homogeneous porous structures are formed within the photonic microparticles that exhibit visible structural colors. The pore diameter is widely tunable (150∼314 nm) by changing the degree of polymerization of BBCP (69∼110), resulting in tunable colors across the whole visible spectrum. This work demonstrates useful knowledge that OSE can be generally used in the fabrication of ordered porous materials with tunable internal functional groups, not only for photonic applications, but also offers a potential platform for catalysis, sensing, separation, encapsulation, etc.

Abstract
Amphiphilic asymmetric comb-like copolymers (AACCs) exhibit distinct self-assembly behaviours due to their unique architecture. However, the synthetic difficulties of well-defined AACCs have prohibited a systematic understanding of the architecture-morphology relationship. In this work, we conducted dissipative particle dynamics simulations to investigate the self-assembly behaviours of AACCs with responsive rigid side chains in selective solvents. The effects of side chain length, number of branches, and spacers on the morphology of aggregates were investigated by mapping out morphology diagrams. Besides, the numbers and surface areas of aggregates clearly depicted the morphological transitions during the self-assembly process. Moreover, the rod-to-coil conformation transitions were simulated to explore the stimuli-responsive behaviour of the AACCs with responsive rigid side chains by adjusting the bond angle parameter of the rigid chains. The results indicated that without the support of the rigid chains, the assembly structure collapsed, leading to the tube-to-channelized micelles and one-compartment-to-multicompartment vesicle morphology transformations. The simulation results are consistent with earlier experimental results, which can provide theoretical guidance for assembly toward desired nanostructures.

Abstract
Microspheres bearing large pores are useful in the capture and separation of biomolecules. However, pore size is typically poorly controlled, leading to disordered porous structures with limited performances. Herein, ordered porous spheres with a layer of cations on the internal surface of the nanopores are facilely fabricated in a single step for effective loading of DNA bearing negative charges. Triblock bottlebrush copolymers (BBCPs), (polynorbornene-g-polystyrene)-b-(polynorbornene-g-polyethylene oxide)-b-(polynorbornene-g-bromoethane) (PNPS-b-PNPEO-b-PNBr), are designed and synthesized for fabrication of the positively charged porous spheres through self-assembly and in situ quaternization during an organized spontaneous emulsification (OSE) process. Pore diameter as well as charge density increase with the increase of PNBr content, resulting in a significant increase of loading density from 4.79 to 22.5 ng µg-1 within the spheres. This work provides a general strategy for efficient loading and encapsulation of DNA, which may be extended to a variety of different areas for different real applications.

Abstract
In this study, a facile one-pot strategy was developed to prepare porous polymeric microspheres via photopolymerization, where organic solvents functioned as porogens. In this strategy, an oil phase containing organic solvents and photopolymerizable materials was stabilized in water to form a stable oil-in-water emulsion. Upon UV irradiation, the photopolymerizable materials (photosensitive monomers/photosensitive prepolymers) underwent polymerization to form microspheres and the subsequent removal of organic solvents left pores in microspheres, leading to the generation of porous polymeric microspheres with high yielding. The effects of organic solvents and the chemical structure and concentration of photopolymerizable materials on the microsphere structure were systematically explored. It was found that the polarity of the organic solvents played a decisive role in the preparation of porous microspheres. In addition, the increases in the solvent content and functionalities of photopolymerizable materials were more favorable for the generation of porous microspheres. This strategy could be applicable for a wide selection of photopolymerizable materials, which endowed this strategy with good applicability. The preparation of porous microspheres by this method was facile and easy to handle, enabling the scalable preparation of porous microspheres. In addition, the whole process can be completed within a few minutes at ambient temperature, which was time-saving and energy-saving.

Abstract
The discovery of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) phenomenon in 2001 has had a significant impact on materials development across different research disciplines. AIE-active materials have been widely exploited for various applications in optoelectronics, sensing, biomedical, and stimuli-responsive systems, etc. This is made possible by integrating AIE features with other fields of science and engineering, such as nanoscience and nanotechnology. AIE has been extensively employed, particularly for biomedical applications, such as biosensing, bioimaging, and theranostics. However, development of AIE-based nanotechnology for other applications is comparatively less, although there have been increasing research activities in recent years. Given the significance and potential of the marriage between AIE hallmark and nanotechnology in AIE-active materials development, this review article summarizes and showcases the latest research efforts in AIE-based nanomaterials, including nanomaterials synthesis and their nonbiomedical applications, such as sensing, optoelectronics, functional coatings, and stimuli-responsive systems. A perspective on the outlook of AIE-based nanostructured materials and relevant nanotechnology for nonbiomedical applications will be provided, giving an insight into how to design AIE-active nanostructures as well as their applications beyond the biomedical domain.

Abstract
Detection of water in organic solvents gained much importance as these solvents have been used as a medium for conducting organic reactions and water was considered as an inhibitor, when it is present in the reaction medium. There are number of methods available to measure the water content in organic solvents, however, such methods are time consuming and expensive. Here, we developed a facile method for detecting water in organic solvents using an inexpensive fluorescent probe - Rhodamine B decorated Graphene oxide (RBGO). The fluorescent probe, RBGO can be conveniently prepared by mixing the rhodamine B (RB) with graphene oxide (GO) in water. However, the probe will function as a sensor for water in the organic solvents through the release of dye upon interaction with the water present in organic solvents. Surprisingly, combination of cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) and RBGO increased the sensitivity of this sensor dramatically for the detection of water. This is the first example of water sensor with best detection limit by the involvement of host molecules such as CB[7]. This sensor displayed the low limit of detection (LOD) for organic solvents (LOD: 0.0015% for DMSO, 0.0025% for DMF), through the two-way process such as decomplexation and encapsulation. We presume that the role of CB [7] can be implemented in other similar sensors to enhance the sensitivity.

Abstract
In this study, a mesoporous silica fluorescence probe co-doped with manganese-doped zinc sulfide quantum dots (Mn:ZnS QDs) and rhodamine B (RB) and coated with molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) has been prepared by sol-gel methods. The morphology and structure were characterized in detail by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform-infrared absorption spectroscopy (FT-IR) and ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy (UV-vis). The probe exhibited two characteristic emission peaks at 411 nm and 582 nm, and the synchronous ratiometric fluorescence responses F411/F582 to different concentrations of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) showed a good linear correlation in the range of 0.01-10 μmol L-1 besides achieving the sensitive detection of 4-NP with a detection limit as low as 3.0 nmol L-1 (3σ). The probe possesses the advantages of selectivity toward the target molecular structure, self-stability in the detection time domain and anti-interference ability, exhibiting excellent potential for application in 4-NP detection in different water environments.

Abstract
A fluorescent porous organic polymer (FPOP) with strong fluorescence and tunable emission colors, was synthesized through a simple cost-effective method via Scholl coupling reaction. Experiments proved the stability and excellent detection and adsorption ability, and microporous nature of the material. Luminescence of FPOP was quenched when addition of nitroaromatic compounds. The properties along with large-scale and low-cost preparation make these FPOP potential candidates for fluorescence detection of nitroaromatic compounds. Additionally, FPOP shows higher adsorption capacity and rate than other reported adsorbents, and has the possibility of being an effective adsorbent for industrial usage. Moreover, a fluorescent test paper was further developed and is found to be sensitive to 10-8 M level, complete with a rapid response time and visual detection. This newly developed strategy may open up an avenue for exploring porous polymers, particularly those with a strong fluorescence, for the large-scale fabrication of FPOP for various advanced applications.

Abstract
We report a new synthetic strategy of combining N-carboxyanhydride (NCA) chemistry and photonic crystals for the fabrication of polypeptide structural color films. Driven by surface-initiated ring-opening polymerization, the di-NCA derivative of l-cystine (Cys) is introduced to replicate the functionalized colloidal crystal templates and construct freestanding P(Cys) films with tunable structural color. Furthermore, the feasibility of preparing patterned polypeptide photonic films is demonstrated via template microfabrication. Because of the incorporation of l-glutamate (Glu) components, the P(Cys-co-Glu) co-polypeptide films are endowed with a visual color responsiveness toward pH changes. Additionally, the polypeptide photonic films show on-demand degradability. Given the large family of amino acid building blocks, this powerful and versatile approach paves the way for chemical derivatization of multifunctional peptide-based optical platforms.

Macromol Rapid Commun 2022; 43:e2200188. [PMID: 35436806 DOI: 10.1002/marc.202200188] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2022] [Revised: 04/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/11/2022]
Abstract
Photonic balls can be facilely obtained through interfacial self-assembly of amphiphilic bottlebrush block polymers (BBCPs) within a water-in-oil-in-water (w/o/w) multiple emulsion system, and polystyrene (PS) has been employed as the skeleton of the balls showing no responsive properties. Here, we demonstrate the design and synthesis of core-shell BBCPs with a poly(tert-butyl acrylate)-block-polystyrene (PtBA-b-PS) block copolymer as the hydrophobic side chains and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) as the hydrophilic block. Interfacial self-assembly of the core-shell BBCPs within shrinking droplets produces porous microspheres with full-spectrum structural colors through an organized spontaneous emulsification (OSE) process. The PtBA core wrapped by PS in the skeleton of the balls can be converted into polyacrylic acid (PAA) forming an ionic channel responsive to pH variations. Consequently, the hydrolyzed photonic balls show different colors under different pH conditions dependent on varied degrees of ionization and hydration of the PAA channel. Reflected colors can be verified using an optical spectrometer, providing an effective strategy for precise pH indication. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
A novel capillary-based fluorescence microsensor for artemisinin was developed with functional polyoxometalates (POMs) as nanozyme by a layer-by-layer self-assembly strategy. Vanadomolybdophosphoric heteropoly acid (H5PMo10V2O40, PMoV2) and tungstophosphoric heteropoly acid (Na5PW11O39Cu, PW11Cu) with high peroxidase-like activity were synthesized and immobilized on capillary to catalyze artemisinin/thiamine reaction and generate the amplified fluorescence signal. The wide linear range up to 13.0 μM with the low limit of detection of 0.03 μM (S/N = 3) was achieved for the determination of artemisinin by using the proposed POMs-microsensor. The method has been successfully used to detect artemisinin in human plasma and antimalarial drugs with satisfactory accuracy. This work developed a novel capillary fluorescence microsensor with functional POMs as nanozyme, which can serve as a promising candidate in fluorescence microanalysis.

Abstract
Artificial self-assembly systems typically exhibit limited capability in creating nature-inspired complex materials with advanced functionalities. Here, an effective co-assembly strategy is demonstrated for the facile creation of complex photonic structures with intriguing light reflections. Two different lipophilic and amphiphilic bottlebrush block copolymers (BCPs) are placed within shrinking droplets to enable a cooperative working mechanism of microphase segregation and organized spontaneous emulsification, respectively. Layer assemblies of the lipophilic BCP and uniform water nanodroplets stabilized by the bottlebrush surfactant are both generated, and co-assembled into a bridged lamellar structure with the alternating arrangement of layers and closely packed nanodroplet arrays. Janus microspheres with diverse dual optical characteristics are successfully fabricated, and reflected wavelengths of light are highly tunable simply by changing the formulation or molecular weight of BCP.

Abstract
In last twenty years, the significant development of AIE materials has been witnessed. A number of small molecules, polymers and composites with AIE activity have been synthesized, with some of these exhibiting great potential in optoelectronics and biomedical applications. Compared to AIE small molecules, macromolecular systems-especially well-defined AIE polymers-have been studied relatively less. Controlled polymerization methods provide the efficient synthesis of well-defined AIE polymers with varied monomers, tunable chain lengths and narrow dispersity. In particular, the preparation of single-fluorophore polymers through AIE molecule-initiated polymerization enables the systematic investigation of the structure-property relationships of AIE polymeric systems. Here, the main polymerization techniques involved in these polymers are summarized and the key parameters that affect their photophysical properties are analyzed. The author endeavored to collect meaningful information from the descriptions of AIE polymer systems in the literature, to find connections by comparing different representative examples, and hopes eventually to provide a set of general guidelines for AIE polymer design, along with personal perspectives on the direction of future research.

Abstract
Solvent-free supersoft elastomer is highly desirable for building photonic structures with significant stimuli-responsive color changes. We report supersoft elastic porous microspheres with vivid structural colors obtained via self-assembly of amphiphilic bottlebrush block copolymers at the water/oil interface templated by ordered water-in-oil-in-water double emulsions. The porous structure is composed of cross-linked bottlebrush polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as the supersoft elastic skeleton and bottlebrush poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) as the internal responsive layer. The obtained microspheres show large reversible volume changes through well-controlled dehydration or hydration of PEO in response to salt ions in an aqueous environment. As a result, full-spectrum colors are obtained dependent on different salt concentrations. In-situ observation of color reflection of a microsphere indicates a gradual structural transition from the outside to the inside corresponding to migration of water molecules and salt ions. Moreover, rod-like bottlebrush PEO exhibits an anion-induced salting-out behavior different from that of random coil polymers. The significantly responsive behaviors of bottlebrush block copolymer (BBCP) assemblies in the presence of salt ions primarily rely on the supersoft elastic skeleton of the porous structure, providing a facile route to the creation of stimuli-responsive photonic materials by low-cost self-assembly methods.
