Noncrystalline blue-emitting 9,10-diphenylanthracene end-capped with triphenylamine-substituted fluorene

Two blue-emitting oligomers, namely FDPA1 and FDPA2 containing 9,10-diphenylanthracene core end-capped with triphenylamine-substituted fluorene has been synthesized and characterized. The spiro-configuration end-capping groups imparts two compounds with pronounced morphological stability (T_g > 185 °C, T_d > 420 °C) and excellent hole injection ability (E_HOMO > −5.27 eV) with the advantageous optical characteristics of corresponding core. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) reveal that the two oligomers form excellent amorphous films and possess good morphological stability after annealing.

Analytical Modeling of Flow Behavior for Wormholes in Naturally Fractured–Vuggy Porous Media

Acidizing technology has been widely applied when developing naturally fractured–vuggy reservoirs. So testing and evaluating acidizing wells’ pressure behavior become necessary for further improving the wells’ performance. Analyzing transient pressure data can estimate some key reservoir parameters. Generally speaking, carbonate minerals are usually composed of dolomite and calcite which are easy to be dissolved by hydrochloric acid which is often used to react with the rock to create a high conductivity channel, namely wormhole. Pressure transient behavior in fractured–vuggy reservoirs has been studied for many years; however, the models of acidizing wells with wormholes were not reported in previous studies. This article presented an analytical model for wormholes in naturally fractured–vuggy carbonate reservoirs, and wormholes solutions were obtained through point sink integral method. The results were validated accurately by comparing with previous results and numerical simulation. Then in this paper, type curves were established to recognize the flow characteristics, and flow was divided into six flow regimes comprehensively. The calculative results showed that the characteristics of type curves were influenced by inter-porosity flow factor, wormhole number, fluids capacitance coefficient. We also showed that the pressure behavior was affected by the angles between wormholes, and the pressure depletion increased as the angle decreased, because the wormholes were closer, their interaction became stronger. At the end, a reservoir example was showed to demonstrate the methodology of new type curve analysis.

Fluorescence Imaging In Vivo at Wavelengths beyond 1500 nm

Compared to imaging in the visible and near‐infrared regions below 900 nm, imaging in the second near‐infrared window (NIR‐II, 1000–1700 nm) is a promising method for deep‐tissue high‐resolution optical imaging in vivo mainly owing to the reduced scattering of photons traversing through biological tissues. Herein, semiconducting single‐walled carbon nanotubes with large diameters were used for in vivo fluorescence imaging in the long‐wavelength NIR region (1500–1700 nm, NIR‐IIb). With this imaging agent, 3–4 μm wide capillary blood vessels at a depth of about 3 mm could be resolved. Meanwhile, the blood‐flow speeds in multiple individual vessels could be mapped simultaneously. Furthermore, NIR‐IIb tumor imaging of a live mouse was explored. NIR‐IIb imaging can be generalized to a wide range of fluorophores emitting at up to 1700 nm for high‐performance in vivo optical imaging.

UV-Assisted Fabrication of Reduced Graphene Oxide Doped SiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>@TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> Nanocomposites as Efficient Photocatalyst for Photodegradation of Rhodamine B

The core-shell nanostructure materials have gained great interests because of its excellent photocatalytic properties and promising applications in several fields. In this work, we prepared the core-shell SiO₂@TiO₂ nanocomposites by the versatile kinetics-controlled coating method. The graphene oxide (GO) was further reduced over SiO₂@TiO₂ using UV-assisted photocatalytic reduction method. The physicochemical properties of the as-prepared SiO₂@TiO₂/RGO nanocomposites were characterized by SEM, XRD, BET, EDS, and FTIR. Results showed that, TiO₂ was mainly composed of anatase phase with high crystallinity. Their photocatalytic activities were examined by the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) under UV light irradiation. The presence of RGO obviously improved the adsorption ability and photodegradation performance of the composites to RhB. The degradation kinetics of RhB can be described by the pseudo-first-order model. The optimum mass ratio of SiO₂@TiO₂ to RGO in the composite was 1/0.05 and the rate constant was about 4 times greater than that of the SiO₂@TiO₂.     

Functionalization of bismuth sulfide nanomaterials for their application in cancer theranostics

Multifunctional bismuth sulfide (Bi₂S₃) nanomaterials exhibit significant potential as nanomedicines for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. These nanomaterials act as excellent photothermal agents and radiation sensitizers for the treatment of tumors, and they can also act as contrast agents for computed tomography (CT) imaging, photoacoustic imaging (PA), and other forms of imaging to provide real-time tumor monitoring and testing guidance. Compared with other nanomaterials, Bi₂S₃ nanomaterials can readily adapt to different applications by virtue of the fact that they can be easily functionalized. However, these nanomaterials have some limitations that cannot be ignored and need to be addressed, such as poor biocompatibility, toxicity, and low chemical stability. It is widely believed that appropriate functionalization of Bi₂S₃ nanomaterials could remedy such defects and significantly improve performance. This review summarizes the ways in which Bi₂S₃ nanomaterials can be functionalized and discusses their applications in cancer theranostics over the last few years, focusing particularly on imaging and therapy. We also discuss issues relating to how Bi₂S₃ nanomaterials can be analyzed, including how we might be able to use these systems to inhibit and treat tumors and how current limitations might be overcome to improve treatment efficacy. Finally, we hope to provide inspiration and guidance as to how we might create a more optimized multifunctional nano-system for the diagnosis and treatment of tumors.
