In this study, silica is utilized as the primary precursor and is subjected to a reduction process using magnesium powder as the reducing agent. By covalently attaching Fluorescein Isothiocyanate (FITC) to the surface of PSi NPs, we aim to enhance their fluorescence intensity and stability while also improving their surface reactivity and biocompatibility. The modified PSi NPs system was characterized using various microscopic techniques, Raman spectra, porosity and morphology analysis, Zeta potential, and analysis of organic functional groups to confirm successful conjugation and to evaluate changes in surface morphology, fluorescence properties, and colloidal stability. By leveraging the inherent photothermal conversion efficiency of PSi NPs, we explore their capacity to generate localized heat upon near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation, effectively inducing cancer cell apoptosis. Concurrently, the natural fluorescence of PSi NPs is harnessed to enable high-resolution imaging, facilitating real-time tracking and monitoring of therapeutic processes. The PSi NPs were subjected to a series of in vitro experiments to assess their photothermal efficiency, cytotoxicity, and imaging capabilities. Results demonstrate that PSi NPs exhibit excellent photothermal effects, leading to significant cell death in targeted cancer cells upon NIR exposure, while their fluorescence properties provide clear and detailed imaging. These findings highlight the potential of PSi NPs as multifunctional agents in cancer therapy, combining effective photothermal treatment with non-invasive imaging, thereby enhancing the precision and efficacy of therapeutic interventions.","PeriodicalId":18353,"journal":{"name":"Materials Today Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":7.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142204495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, a fundamental understanding of crystal growth kinetics as well as their formation mechanisms has been very limited. Underpinning such mechanisms might be of key importance for the predictable synthesis of ZIFs to rationally tune the structural and morphological properties for respective applications. Herein, the crystal growth kinetics and structural evolution of ZIF-8 crystals in various aqueous co-solvent reaction environments were studied with respect to synthesis time. By tracking the nucleation, crystal growth, stabilization and ripening, three potential kinetic formation mechanisms were proposed. More specifically, with methanol, isopropanol and acetone, a fast nucleation rate and crystal growth occurred within 60 minutes (min) at room temperature. However, ethanol and n-propanol showed prolonged nucleation which resulted in the slow formation of ZIF-L/ZIF-8 mixed phases at the early stage. Phase transformation to pure ZIF-8 was observed in longer syntheses. Nitrogen-containing solvent, N, N–dimethyl formaldehyde (DMF), was found to induce both nucleation and growth, resulting in large crystals in less than 60 min of fabrication. In each case, the crystal formation follows Avrami's classical model. Hence, by understanding the effects of co-solvents in ZIF nucleation, crystallization and phase selection, one can rationally design the crystals with predictable crystallinity, size, morphology, purity and surface properties for targeted applications such as adsorption of small molecules from aqueous mixtures.","PeriodicalId":18353,"journal":{"name":"Materials Today Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":7.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142204497","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The prepared scaffold has imprinted pores of the appropriate size to facilitate the ingrowth and proliferation of human osteoblasts throughout the entire pore volume created by a primary porogen, sodium chloride. The resulting material has a dual porous morphological structure, in which adjustable larger pores support cellular ingrowth into the scaffold, whereas smaller pores, created using succinonitrile (SCN) as a secondary porogen, increase the diffusion of oxygen and nutrients to developing cells. The mechanical properties of the scaffold were promoted by the use of a secondary interpenetrating network (IPN) based on chitosan. The incorporation of secondary IPNs led to a significant improvement in the mechanical characteristics of the scaffold.

Five new polymethacrylate-based copolymers with varying compositions were synthesized through reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The correct structure and macromolecular nature of the devised materials were confirmed by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (H/C NMR), and gel permeation chromatography (GPC), while their thermal properties were evaluated using thermogravimetry analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). All specimens exhibited adequate thermal properties for most capacitor applications in terms of onset degradation (T) and glass transition (T) temperatures. All materials degraded well above 250 °C, with increased T and T values depending on the final composition of the cyclic sulfone monomer in the material. The incorporation of cyclic sulfones not only increased the thermal robustness of the specimens but also raised their T values to as high as 189 °C, notably expanding the range of temperatures where these systems can operate without dissipative phenomena. More importantly, broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS) revealed that all samples exhibited dielectric properties notably superior to those of conventional polymer materials, with high ԑ' values between 6.0 and 8.9 (at 25 °C and 1 Hz) and low loss factors (Tan(δ) < 0.018). Overall, the present work successfully demonstrates the advantages of including cyclic structures with high dipole moments in polymeric backbones, offering a new strategy to enhance the thermal and dielectric properties of high-dielectric polymer materials.","PeriodicalId":18353,"journal":{"name":"Materials Today Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":7.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142204499","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
