In order to optimize the properties of injectable hydrogels and expand their applications, an enzyme-catalyzed cross-linked injectable hydrogel was designed. The tyramine-modified gelatin (G-T) was formed into a stable injectable hydrogel by the combination of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) catalysis. 1H NMR spectroscopy was used to demonstrate the successful modification of gelatin by tyramine. The surface morphology of the prepared hydrogels was characterized jointly by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Rheological tests demonstrated the tunable mechanical strength, formation kinetics, shear thinning and good self-recovery properties of the hydrogels. In addition, the hydrogels can be formed into various shapes by injection. The hydrogel network structure is complex and interlaced, as such it is suitable to encapsulate drugs for controlled release. The drug release from the prepared hydrogels followed the Peppas–Sahlin model and belonged to Fickian diffusion. This study constructed injectable hydrogels through the enzyme-catalyzed cross-linking of modified gelatin and applied the hydrogels for drug release, which is expected to expand the application in biomedical fields.","PeriodicalId":8575,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75414060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effects of different types of template and seed on the crystal structure, morphology, grain size and acidity of the molecular sieves were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), N2 isothermal adsorption–desorption and ammonia temperature-programmed desorption (NH3-TPD). The methanol-to-olefins (MTO) reaction performance of the synthesized samples was investigated in a fixed-bed reactor. The results showed that crystalline supernatant and seed soaking solution could be used as liquid seeds to assist in the synthesis of SAPO-34 molecular sieves with a lamellar structure. The yield of SAPO-34 synthesized by seed increased from 38.64 to 59.68%, and the methanol conversion rate was significantly improved as compared with that of SAPO-34 synthesized without seed. The nano-thickness of SAPO-34 synthesized with TEA&TEABr instead of TEAOH as template decreased from 100–150 to 40–50 nm, and the lifetime increased from 360 to 400 min with the original yield kept constant.","PeriodicalId":8575,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77258850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein, a rapid, simple, and sensitive 3D printed microfluidic device integrated with smartphone-based on-chip detection is described for POCT quantification of urinary uric acid. The device includes two circular inputs each connected to a microliter-scale chamber, separated by an integrated porous membrane, located between the sample and reagent chambers. The microfluidic device was fabricated from a transparent photopolymer using a 3D printer, in a single run. The concentration of uric acid was determined based on a chromogenic reaction in which ferrous ion, produced via the reduction of ferric ion by the analyte, complexed with 1,10-phenanthroline, and the color was recorded by a smartphone. Response surface methodology including a central composed design was utilized to evaluate the experimental parameters and subsequent introduction of a multivariate model to describe the experimental conditions. Under the optimum conditions, the calibration curve was linear over the concentration range of 30–600 mg L−1. The limit of detection was determined to be 10.5 mg L−1. The microfluidic device was successfully utilized for the recovery and quantification of uric acid in the urine, with recoveries ranging from 91.7 to 99.7%.","PeriodicalId":8575,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136052313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
