[PMID: 38862125 PMCID: PMC11212625 DOI: 10.1021/acsami.4c03303] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2024] [Revised: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/13/2024]
Abstract
Hydrogels are soft materials engineered to suit a multitude of applications that exploit their tunable mechanochemical properties. Dynamic hydrogels employing noncovalent, physically cross-linked networks dominated by either enthalpic or entropic interactions enable unique rheological and stimuli-responsive characteristics. In contrast to enthalpy-driven interactions that soften with increasing temperature, entropic interactions result in largely temperature-independent mechanical properties. By engineering interfacial polymer-particle interactions, we can induce a dynamic-to-covalent transition in entropic hydrogels that leads to biomimetic non-ergodic aging in the microstructure without altering the network mesh size. This transition is tuned by varying temperature and formulation conditions such as pH, which allows for multivalent tunability in properties. These hydrogels can thus be designed to exhibit either temperature-independent metastable dynamic cross-linking or time-dependent stiffening based on formulation and storage conditions, all while maintaining structural features critical for controlling mass transport, akin to many biological tissues. Such robust materials with versatile and adaptable properties can be utilized in applications such as wildfire suppression, surgical adhesives, and depot-forming injectable drug delivery systems.

Abstract
The properties of nanomedicines will influence how they can deliver drugs to patients reproducibly and effectively. For conventional pharmaceutical products, Chemistry, Manufacturing and Control (CMC) documents require monitoring stability and storage conditions. For nanomedicines, studying these important considerations is hindered by a lack of appropriate methods. In this paper, we show how combining radiolabelling with size exclusion chromatography, using a method called SERP (for Size Exclusion of Radioactive Polymers), can inform on the in vitro degradation of polymer nanoparticles. Using nanoparticles composed of biodegradable poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), we show that SERP is more sensitive than dynamic light scattering (DLS) and nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) to detect degradation. We also demonstrate that the properties of the polymer composition and the nature of the aqueous buffer affect nanoparticle degradation. Importantly, we show that minute changes in stability that cannot be detected by DLS and NTA impact the pharmacokinetic of nanoparticles injected in vivo. We believe that SERP might prove a valuable method to document and understand the pharmaceutical quality of polymer nanoparticles.

Abstract
The coffee-ring structure, which is the final drying pattern of a sessile suspension droplet, is a key factor in controlling the uniformity of the particulate deposits in various coatings. Two light-scattering methods, diffusing wave spectroscopy (DWS) and multispeckle DWS (MSDWS), were used to quantitatively distinguish temporal changes in particle mobility in evaporating suspension droplets containing micrometer-sized silica and polystyrene (PS) particles. The characteristic particle mobility was measured in terms of the mean square displacement in the early stage of drying, and the local particle dynamics around the edge and center regimes of the droplets during drying were analyzed using MSDWS. Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), a hydrosoluble polymer, was added to the silica and PS suspensions to further investigate its role in suppressing or enhancing coffee-ring patterns based on particle-polymer interactions. Consequently, dried microstructures can be directly correlated with real-time drying dynamics, as well as the interactions between solutes by comprehensive light-scattering methods.

Abstract
Lignin nanoparticles (LNPs) are usually produced from lignin solution through supersaturation. The structure of the lignin in solution is still poorly understood due to structural variability of isolated lignins. Here, lignins were extracted from different plants to establish a general pattern of their structure in several lignin solvents. Lignin molecules (lignin subunits) and larger aggregates were observed in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), ethylene glycol (EG) and 0.1 N NaOD solutions by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). It was proposed that the aggregates were composed of lignin subunits with a higher molecular weight and a higher ratio of the aliphatic to phenolic hydroxyl groups. The size, shape, and compactness are important factors that affect the uses of the LNPs, which were obtained from the SANS data for the first time. A discrepancy in the radius between SANS and DLS was discovered, pointing to a large hydration shell around the LNPs in aqueous solutions. The cytotoxicity of the corncob lignin, kraft lignin, and their LNPs were measured and compared.

Abstract
Concerns of petroleum dependence and environmental pollution prompt an urgent need for new sustainable approaches in developing polymeric products. Biobased polymers provide a potential solution, and biobased nanocomposites further enhance the performance and functionality of biobased polymers. Here we summarize the unique challenges and review recent progress in this field with an emphasis on self-assembly of inorganic nanoparticles. The conventional wisdom is to fully disperse nanoparticles in the polymer matrix to optimize the performance. However, self-assembly of the nanoparticles into clusters, networks, and layered structures provides an opportunity to address performance challenges and create new functionality in biobased polymers. We introduce basic assembly principles through both blending and in situ synthesis, and identify key technologies that benefit from the nanoparticle assembly in the polymer matrix. The fundamental forces and biobased polymer conformations are discussed in detail to correlate the nanoscale interactions and morphology with the macroscale properties. Different types of nanoparticles, their assembly structures and corresponding applications are surveyed. Through this review we hope to inspire the community to consider utilizing self-assembly to elevate functionality and performance of biobased materials. Development in this area sets the foundation for a new era of designing sustainable polymers in many applications including packaging, construction chemicals, adhesives, foams, coatings, personal care products, and advanced manufacturing.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) protected by poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) (POZ) of different molecular weights (Mw = 5, 50, 200 and 500 kDa) were synthesised and characterised by dynamic light scattering, nanoparticle tracking analysis, zeta potential measurement and transmission electron microscopy. It was established that the use of POZ with 50 kDa resulted in formation of GNPs with low polydispersity while POZ with greater molecular weights led to formation of more polydisperse GNPs. Fluorescent labelling of these nanoparticles was achieved through their reaction with polyethyleneglycol dithiol (8-12 kDa) as a linker molecule with subsequent reaction with 6-(iodoacetamido) fluorescein. The fluorescent nature of obtained GNPs was confirmed by the appearance of the fluorescence peak at 510 nm that is typical for fluorescein molecules and glowing of the aqueous solution under the UV irradiaton. The fluorescently-labelled GNPs are promising tool in biomedical application to monitor the biological systems using fluorescent microscopy.

Abstract
There is increasing interest in the synthesis of golf ball-like particles. Most of the reports on golf ball-like particles have focused on polymer particles, while relatively few are concerned with inorganic particles. In this work, golf ball-like thiol-functionalized silica particles were synthesized for the first time by a one-step sol-gel reaction using 3-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane (MPTMS) and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) as the precursors. The particle growth with time was monitored by SEM and a particle formation mechanism was proposed. The effects of different reaction parameters including the TEOS/MPTMS molar ratio, the NH4OH concentration, and the stirring rate on the morphology and size of the golf ball-like organosilica particles were studied. Given that the thiol groups have versatile functionalities, golf ball-like thiol-functionalized silica particle is a useful model for academic studies.

Abstract
Transmucosal drug delivery includes the administration of drugs via various mucous membranes, such as gastrointestinal, nasal, ocular, and vaginal mucosa. The use of nanoparticles in transmucosal drug delivery has several advantages, including the protection of drugs against the harsh environment of the mucosal lumens and surfaces, increased drug residence time, and enhanced drug absorption. Due to their relatively simple synthetic methods for preparation, safety profile, and possibilities of surface functionalisation, silica nanoparticles are highly promising for transmucosal drug delivery. This review provides a description of silica nanoparticles and outlines the preparation methods for various core and surface-functionalised silica nanoparticles. The relationship between the functionalities of silica nanoparticles and their interactions with various mucous membranes are critically analysed. Applications of silica nanoparticles in transmucosal drug delivery are also discussed.

Abstract
Development of mobile composition of matter (MCM)-41 silica nanoparticles faces challenges, e.g. surface charge properties, antigen loading efficiency, protecting from enzymes and harsh GIT environment and effective release at target mucosal site. We report the production and characterization of polymer and amine modified MCM-41 type silica nanoparticles for oral antigen delivery using ovalbumin (OVA) as model antigen. Nanoparticles were characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis, circular dichroism (CD), sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), mucin binding, stability in simulated gastric fluid (SGF) and simulated intestinal fluid (SIF) and in vitro OVA release in SGF and SIF. Unmodified nanoparticles size of 146 nm increased to 175-321 nm after modification while modified particles remained intact for more than 3 h in SGF and 96 h in SIF (DLS and SEM). Mucin binding proved polyethylene glycol (PEG) and chitosan modified nanoparticles as potential candidates for oral mucosa delivery. Both showed highest OVA encapsulation at 67% and 73%, and sustained OVA release in SIF (96 h) at 65% and 64% respectively. BET results showed that nanopores were not blocked during surface modification. CD and SDS-PAGE showed that OVA conformational structure did not change after release from the nanoparticles.

Abstract
A novel ratiometric fluorescence assay via enzymatically activatable micellization in aqueous solution was devised for quantitative detection of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. We demonstrated that the dephosphorylation of the water-soluble, phosphate-functionalized, fluorophore monomer P-TPE-TG, induced by an enzymatic reaction of ALP, leads to micelle formation in aqueous solution because its water-soluble functionality is reduced. The dephosphorylation-induced micellization of P-TPE-TG exhibited a ratiometric sensing response for various ALP concentrations (10–200 mU mL−1) and provided a suitable sensing platform for naked eye detection with increased fluorescence quantum yield (Φ = 3.2%), even compared to a typical TPE-based sensor (Φ = 1.0%), where ALP can be sensed with a detection limit of 0.034 mU mL−1. In addition, P-TPE-TG displayed excellent sensing performance at concentrations from 0 to 50 mU mL−1 in diluted human serum (10%), which offers the capability to exploit ratiometric responses for bioactive substances under practical conditions. A novel ratiometric fluorescence assay via enzymatically activatable micellization in aqueous solution was devised for quantitative detection of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity.![]()

Abstract
Catalyzed organic solvent-free (ep)oxidation were achieved using H3PM12O40 (M = Mo or W) complexes ionically grafted on APTES-functionalized nano-silica beads obtained from straightforward method (APTES = aminopropyltriethoxysilane). Those catalysts have been extensively analyzed through morphological studies (Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), TEM) and several spectroscopic qualitative (IR, multinuclear solid-state NMR) and quantitative (1H and 31P solution NMR) methods. Interesting catalytic results were obtained for the epoxidation of cyclooctene, cyclohexene, limonene and oxidation of cyclohexanol with a lower [POM]/olefin ratio. The catalysts were found to be recyclable and reused during three runs with similar catalytic performances.

Abstract
The use of solid catalysts to promote organic reactions in water faces the inherent difficulty of the poor mass-transfer efficiency of organic substances in water, which is often responsible for insufficient reaction and low yields. To solve this problem, the solid surface can be manipulated to become amphiphilic. However, the introduction of surfactant-like moieties onto the surface of silica-based materials is not easy. By using an accessible dihydropyran derivative as a grafting linker, a surfactant-combined bifunctional silica-based solid catalyst that possessed an ionic liquid tail and a metal acetylacetonate moiety was prepared through a mild Lewis-acid-catalyzed ring-opening reaction with a thiol-functionalized silica. The surfactant-combined silica-supported metal acetylacetone catalysts displayed excellent catalytic activity in water for a range of reactions. The solid catalyst was also shown to be recyclable, and was reused several times without significant loss in activity.

Abstract
Dynamic light scattering (DLS) and size exclusion chromatography (SEC) are among the most popular methods for determining polymer sizes in solution. Taking dendritic and network polysilanes as a group of least soluble polymer substances, we critically compare and discuss the difference between nanoparticle sizes, obtained by DLS and SEC. Polymer nanoparticles are typically in poor solution conditions below the theta point and are therefore in the globular conformation. The determination of particle sizes in the presence of attractive interactions is not a trivial task. The only possibility to measure, aggregation-free, the true molecular size of polymer nanoparticles in such a solution regime, is to perform the experiment with a dilute solution of globules (below the theta point and above the miscibility line). Based on the results of our polysilane measurements, we come to a conclusion that DLS provides more reliable results than SEC for dilute solutions of globules. General implications for the size measurements of polymer nanoparticles in solution are discussed.
