ACS APPLIED POLYMER MATERIALS 2024; 6:1622-1632. [PMID: 38357438 PMCID: PMC10862469 DOI: 10.1021/acsapm.3c02119] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2023] [Revised: 01/07/2024] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 02/16/2024]
Abstract
A series of copolymers have been prepared via thiol-ene polymerization of bioderived α,ω-unsaturated diene monomers with dithiols toward application as solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) for Li+-ion conduction. Amorphous polyesters and polyethers with low Tg's (-31 to -11 °C) were first prepared from xylose-based monomers (with varying lengths of fatty acid moiety) and 2,2'-(ethylenedioxy)diethanethiol (EDT). Cross-linking by incorporation of a trifunctional monomer also produced a series of SPEs with ionic conductivities up to 2.2 × 10-5 S cm-1 at 60 °C and electrochemical stability up to 5.08 V, a significant improvement over previous xylose-derived materials. Furthermore, a series of copolymers bearing nucleoside moieties were prepared to exploit the complementary base-pairing interaction of nucleobases. Flexible, transparent, and reprocessable SPE films were thus prepared with improved ionic conductivity (up to 1.5 × 10-4 S cm-1 at 60 °C), hydrolytic degradability, and potential self-healing capabilities.

Abstract
The unique properties of self-healing materials hold great potential in many fields because they can repair themselves automatically and have an improved service time. In this study, polyacrylamide (PAAm) gels with complementary guanine and cytosine base pairs have been prepared. Herein, based on our previous research, cytosine (C) and guanine (G) (triple hydrogen) with biosafety were introduced to endow the PAAm with self-healing properties. Then, their self-healing properties were studied in detail and the results indicate that the optimized PAAm gel sample manifests a healing efficiency of 90% at room temperature. The excellent proportion of methacryloyloxyethyl isocyanate-cytosine/guanine (IEM-C/G) to AAm is 1 : 30, according to which the PAM-CG material exhibits enhanced stretchability and tensile strength. The major healing process occurs within 5 h at room temperature, and the material is completely healed after 20 h. Moreover, the healing time can be shortened at a higher temperature. The mechanical behaviors are tuned by changing the base pairs, and the gels exhibit recoverable mechanical performances. Therefore, this study provides a facile strategy for developing self-healing and biocompatible PAAm gels.

Abstract
This review is devoted to self-healing materials (SHM) containing polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) as building blocks. The synthetic approach can vary depending on the role POSS are expected to play in a given system. POSS (especially double-decker silsesquioxanes) can be grafted in side chains of a polymer backbone or used as segments of the main chain. Appropriate functionalization allows the formation of dynamic bonds with POSS molecules and makes them an active component of SHM, both as crosslinking agents and as factors that enhance the dynamics of macromolecules in the polymer matrix. The latter effect can be achieved by reversible release of bulky POSS cages or by the formation of separated inclusions in the polymer matrix through hydrophobic interactions and POSS aggregation. The unique properties of POSS-based self-healing systems make them interesting and versatile materials for various applications (e.g., repairable coatings, sealants, sensors, soft materials for tissue engineering, drug delivery, and wound healing).

Abstract
A new concept in cooperative adenine-uracil (A-U) hydrogen bonding interactions between anticancer drugs and nanocarrier complexes was successfully demonstrated by invoking the co-assembly of water soluble, uracil end-capped polyethylene glycol polymer (BU-PEG) upon association with the hydrophobic drug adenine-modified rhodamine (A-R6G). This concept holds promise as a smart and versatile drug delivery system for the achievement of targeted, more efficient cancer chemotherapy. Due to A-U base pairing between BU-PEG and A-R6G, BU-PEG has high tendency to interact with A-R6G, which leads to the formation of self-assembled A-R6G/BU-PEG nanogels in aqueous solution. The resulting nanogels exhibit a number of unique physical properties, including extremely high A-R6G-loading capacity, well-controlled, pH-triggered A-R6G release behavior, and excellent structural stability in biological media. Importantly, a series of in vitro cellular experiments clearly demonstrated that A-R6G/BU-PEG nanogels improved the selective uptake of A-R6G by cancer cells via endocytosis and promoted the intracellular release of A-R6G to subsequently induce apoptotic cell death, while control rhodamine/BU-PEG nanogels did not exert selective toxicity in cancer or normal cell lines. Overall, these results indicate that cooperative A-U base pairing within nanogels is a critical factor that improves selective drug uptake and effectively promotes apoptotic programmed cell death in cancer cells.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2020; 13:E4491.

Abstract
Hybrid polymers containing pyrene (Py) units bound to linear poly(silsesquioxane) (LPSQ) chains through flexible linkers containing heteroatoms (S, N, O) (LPSQ-triazole-Py and LPSQ-amide-Py) exhibit intense fluorescence emission, both in very diluted solutions (c = 10-8 mol/L) and in the solid state. The materials are thermally stable and exhibit good thin film forming abilities. Their optical and physicochemical properties were found to be strongly dependent on the structure of the side chains. Comparative studies with octahedral silsesquioxane (POSS) analogues (POSS-triazole-Py and POSS-amide-Py) emphasized the role of the specific double-strand architecture of the LPSQ backbone and distribution of side Py groups for their photo-luminescent properties. The new hybrid materials were tested as fluorescence energy donors to red-emitting dyes (Nile Red and Coumarine 6). All the silsesquioxanes studied were found to be able to transfer FL emission energy to Coumarin 6, irrespectively of their spatial structure. However, due to the differences in the wavelength range of FL emission, only LPSQ-triazole-Py were able to act as energy donors to Nile Red. The Py-grafted LPSQ may be also applied for development of soluble and highly emissive chemosensors. Their fluorescent nature was explored for the detection of Cu(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ag(I), Hg(II), Mg(II), Ca(II), Pb(II) and Zn(II). The morphology of the side chains and hydrogen-bonding interactions influenced the sensing capacity of all the studied materials.

Abstract
Dynamic and reversible non-covalent interactions endow synthetic systems and materials with smart adaptive functions that allow them to response to diverse stimuli, interact with external agents, or repair structural defects. Inspired by the outstanding performance and selectivity of DNA in living systems, scientists are increasingly employing Watson-Crick nucleobase pairing to control the structure and properties of self-assembled materials. Two sets of complementary purine-pyrimidine pairs (guanine:cytosine and adenine:thymine(uracil)) are available that provide selective and directional H-bonding interactions, present multiple metal-coordination sites, and exhibit rich redox chemistry. In this review, we highlight several recent examples that profit from these features and employ nucleobase interactions in functional systems and materials, covering the fields of energy/electron transfer, charge transport, adaptive nanoparticles, porous materials, macromolecule self-assembly, or polymeric materials with adhesive or self-healing ability.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Invoking cooperative assembly of the uracil-functionalized supramolecular polymer BU-PPG [uracil end-capped poly(propylene glycol)] upon association with the nucleobase adenine derivative A-MA [methyl 3-(6-amino-9H-purin-9-yl)propanoate] as a model drug provides a new concept to control and tune the properties of supramolecular complexes and holds significant potential for the development of safer, more effective drug delivery systems. EXPERIMENTS BU-PPG and A-MA were successfully developed and exhibited specific recognition and high affinity, which enabled reversible complementary adenine-uracil (A-U) hydrogen bonding-induced formation of spherical micelles in aqueous solution. The self-assembly and controllable A-MA release behavior of BU-PPG/A-MA micelles were studied using morphological analysis and optical and light scattering techniques to investigate the effect of photoirradiation and temperature on the complementary hydrogen bond interactions between BU-PPG and A-MA. FINDINGS The resulting micelles possess unusual physical properties, including controlled photoreactivity kinetics, controllable self-assembled morphology and low cytotoxicity in vitro, as well as reversible temperature-responsive behavior. Importantly, irradiated micelles exhibited excellent long-term structural stability under normal physiological conditions and serum disturbance. Increasing the temperature triggered rapid release of A-MA by disrupting A-U complexes. These findings represent an entirely new, promising strategy for the development of multi-controlled release drug delivery nanocarriers based on complementary hydrogen bonding interactions.

Abstract
Self-healing materials (SHMs) have been a research hot topic in recent years owing to their greatly improved longevity and safety in practical applications. Recently, research on SHMs has gradually expanded from structural materials to functional materials. Functional materials with self-healing properties (FMSH) require simultaneous repairing not only of the mechanical properties but of the functionalities from damaged cracks or wounds. It is more challenging to introduce both self-healing properties and a particular functionality to materials owing to the difficulties of preparing the materials and their more complex healing mechanism. Herein, we summarize the recent progress that has been made in FMSH, put forward insights from the perspectives of material preparation and healing mechanisms and highlight future developments for FMSH.

Abstract
Nucleobase interactions play a fundamental role in biological functions, including transcription and translation. Natural nucleic acids like DNA are also widely implemented in material realm such as DNA guided self-assembly of nanomaterials. Inspired by that, polymer chemists have contributed phenomenal endeavors to mimic both the structures and functions of natural nucleic acids in synthetic polymers. Similar sequence-dependent responses were observed and employed in the self-assembly of these nucleobase-containing polymers. Here, the structures, synthetic approaches, and applications of nucleobase-containing polymers are highlighted and a brief look is taken at the future development of these polymers.
