Abstract
Sample pretreatment is a key step for qualitative and quantitative analysis of trace substances in complex samples. Cis-dihydroxyl (cis-diol) group-containing substances exist widely in biological samples and can be selectively bound by boronate affinity adsorbents. Based on this, in this article, we proposed a simple method for the preparation of novel spherical three-dimensionally ordered macropore (3DOM) materials based on a combination of the boronate affinity technique and colloidal crystal template method. The prepared 3DOM materials were characterized using Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and thermo-gravimetric analysis, and results showed that they possessed the characteristics of a high specific surface area, high porosity, and more boronic acid recognition sites. The adsorption performance evaluation results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity of the boron affinity 3DOMs on ovalbumin (OVA) could reach to 438.79 mg/g. Kinetic and isothermal adsorption experiments indicated that the boronate affinity 3DOM material exhibited a high affinity and selectivity towards OVA and adenosine. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis of the proteins in egg whites was conducted and proved that the glycoprotein in the egg whites could be separated and enriched with a good performance. Therefore, a novel boronate affinity 3DOM material a with highly ordered and interconnected pore structure was prepared and could be applied in the separation and enrichment of molecules with cis-diol groups from complex samples with a good selectivity, efficiency, and high throughput.

Abstract
As important biomarkers of many diseases, glycoproteins are of great significance to biomedical science. It is essential to develop efficient glycoprotein enrichment platforms and investigate their adsorption mechanism. In this work, a conspicuous enrichment strategy for glycoproteins was developed by using an electrospun fiber membrane wrapped with polydopamine (PDA) and modified with 3-aminophenylboronic acid and nickel ions, named PAN/DA@PDA@APBA/Ni. The enrichment characteristics of PAN/DA@PDA@APBA/Ni toward glycoproteins were explored through adsorption behavior. Thanks to the existence of two sites of interaction (metal ion chelation and boronate affinity), PAN/DA@PDA@APBA/Ni exhibited significant enrichment capacity for glycoproteins, ovalbumin (604.6 mg/g), and human immunoglobulin G (331.0 mg/g). The adsorption kinetic results of glycoprotein ovalbumin on PAN/DA@PDA@APBA/Ni conform to the pseudo-first-order kinetic model in the first adsorption stage, while the second half adsorption stage is more in line with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Moreover, the physical characteristics of PAN/DA@PDA@APBA/Ni and subsequent adsorption experiments on electrospun fiber modified with only phenylboronic acid or nickel ions both confirmed two sites of interaction (metal ion chelation and boronate affinity, respectively). Furthermore, a stepwise elution method with dual-affinity interaction was designed and successfully applied to enrich glycoproteins in real biological samples. This work provides an idea for sample pretreatment, especially for the design of dual-affinity materials in glycoproteins enrichment.

Abstract
It is highly desirable to develop smart and green pesticide nanoformulations for improving pesticide targeting and reducing their inherent toxicity. Herein, we demonstrate a continuous nanoprecipitation method to construct a novel type of enzyme-responsive fluorescent nanopesticides (denoted as ABM@BSA-FITC/GA NPs) based on abamectin, fluorescein isothiocyanate isomer (FITC)-modified protein, and food-grade gum arabic. The as-prepared ABM@BSA-FITC/GA NPs exhibit good water dispersibility, excellent storage stability, and enhanced wettability compared to commercial formulations. The controlled release of pesticides can be achieved through protein degradation caused by trypsin. Most importantly, the deposition, distribution, and transport of the ABM@BSA-FITC/GA NPs are precisely tracked on target plants (cabbage and cucumber) by fluorescence. Furthermore, the ABM@BSA-FITC/GA NPs show the high control efficacy against Plutella xylostella L., which is comparable with commercial emulsifiable concentrate formulation. In consideration of its eco-friendly composition and absence of organic solvent, this pesticide nanoformulation has promising potential in sustainable plant protection.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on carriers have received wide attention as catalysts as a result of their excellent stability and catalytic performance. Herein, we report the design and synthesis of hollow silica-supported gold nanocatalysts (SNPs@AuNPs) composed of highly dispersed AuNPs with approximately 4.30 nm using an in situ colloidal polyelectrolyte template strategy. The monodisperse polystyrene nanospheres accompanied by poly[(2-methacryloyloxyethyl)trimethylammonium chloride] brushes were first synthesized. Subsequently, the facile polymer-brush-engaged strategy for the synthesis of hollow SNPs@AuNPs involves in situ reduction of AuNPs, hydrolytic condensation of silica, and a chemical etching process. In combination with dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy, small-angle X-ray scattering, X-ray powder diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, the as-obtained polymer brushes were proven as effective versatile nanoreactors for the synthesis of AuNPs and silica nanoparticles without any catalysts. Benefiting from the structural advantages, the resultant hollow SNPs@AuNPs manifested superior catalytic activity and reusability for the reduction of p-nitrophenol by sodium borohydride in aqueous solution. With a delicate design, we believe that this synthetic strategy can be extended to fabricate multifunctional nanomaterials with diverse compositions, which would be of great interest in catalysis, energy, and many other important domains.

Abstract
Nanosized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are of great interest in areas such as catalysts or imaging but are easy to aggregate due to high surface activity. To stabilize AuNPs, two approaches were employed to immobilize AuNPs in spherical polymer brushes (SPBs), namely, the in situ preparation of AuNPs within the brush layer of SPBs and external addition of preprepared citrate-capped AuNPs. The distribution and stability of AuNPs in SPBs were studied by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). SAXS results demonstrated that the in situ-prepared AuNPs were mainly located on the inner layer and their amount decreased from inside to outside. In the case of external addition of preprepared AuNPs, the cationic SPB showed obvious immobilization, while almost no AuNPs were immobilized in the anionic SPB. The stable immobilization of the AuNPs in SPBs was the result of multiple interactions including complexation and electrostatic interaction. SAXS was validated to be a distinctive and powerful characterization method to provide theoretical guidance for the stable immobilization of AuNPs.
