Reliable Quantitative SERS Analysis Facilitated by Core–Shell Nanoparticles with Embedded Internal Standards

Quantitative analysis is a great challenge in surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). Core‐molecule‐shell nanoparticles with two components in the molecular layer, a framework molecule to form the shell, and a probe molecule as a Raman internal standard, were rationally designed for quantitative SERS analysis. The signal of the embedded Raman probe provides effective feedback to correct the fluctuation of samples and measuring conditions. Meanwhile, target molecules with different affinities can be adsorbed onto the shell. The quantitative analysis of target molecules over a large concentration range has been demonstrated with a linear response of the relative SERS intensity versus the surface coverage, which has not been achieved by conventional SERS methods.

Effects of Various Cell Surface Engineering Reactions on the Biological Behavior of Mammalian Cells

Cell surface engineering technologies can regulate cell function and behavior by modifying the cell surface. Previous studies have mainly focused on investigating the effects of cell surface engineering reactions and materials on cell activity. However, they do not comprehensively analyze other cellular processes. This study exploits covalent bonding, hydrophobic interactions, and electrostatic interactions to modify the macromolecules succinimide ester-methoxy polyethylene glycol (NHS-mPEG), distearoyl phosphoethanolamine-methoxy polyethylene glycol (DSPE-mPEG), and poly-L -lysine (PLL), respectively, on the cell surface. This work systematically investigates the effects of the three surface engineering reactions on the behavior of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and human skin fibroblasts, including viability, growth, proliferation, cell cycle, adhesion, and migration. The results reveals that the PLL modification method notably affects cell viability and G2/M arrest and has a short modification duration. However, the DSPE-mPEG and NHS-mPEG modification methods have little effect on cell viability and proliferation but have a prolonged modification duration. Moreover, the DSPE-mPEG modification method highly affects cell adherence. Further, the NHS-mPEG modification method can significantly improve the migration ability of HUVECs by reducing the area of focal adhesions. The findings of this study will contribute to the application of cell surface engineering technology in the biomedical field.

Microcapsules with macroholes prepared by the competitive adsorption of surfactants on emulsion droplet surfaces

We demonstrate a simple, unique method for preparing microcapsules with holes in their shells. Cross-linked polymelamine microcapsules are prepared by the phase-separation method. The holey shell of each microcapsule is synthesized on the surface of an oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion droplet where a water-soluble polymeric surfactant and an oil-soluble surfactant are competitively adsorbed. The water-soluble polymeric surfactant provides a reaction site for shell formation. The oil-soluble surfactant molecules seem to self-assemble while the shells are being formed, so holes appear where they assemble. The critical degree of surface coverage of an emulsion droplet by the water-soluble polymeric surfactant needed to form the holey shells is determined to be 0.90 from theoretical calculations in which competitive adsorption is considered. Theoretical consideration suggests that the size and quantity of the holes in the microcapsule shells are controlled by the composition of the surfactants adsorbed on the surface of an emulsion droplet. This theoretical consideration is confirmed by experiments. The prepared microcapsule with controllable macroholes in its shell has the potential to be used for controlled release applications and can be used to fabricate a microcapsule that encapsulates hydrophilic compounds.

Artificial Spores: Cytocompatible Coating of Living Cells with Plant‐Derived Pyrogallol

Cell nanoencapsulation, generating cell‐in‐shell structures (“artificial spores“), provides a chemical toolbox for controlling the cellular behaviors and functional characteristics of individual cells. Among the shell materials studied so far, naturally occurring polyphenolic compounds, including polydopamine and tannic acid, have intensively been employed in cell‐surface engineering, because their material‐independent coating property eliminates an extra priming step for inducing subsequent shell formation. Albeit successful in generating cell‐in‐shell structures, the coating of polyphenolic compounds generally requires alkaline conditions and/or high salt conditions, which are not compatible with certain cell types. In this work, we demonstrate that the nanocoating of individual cells with a plant‐derived phenolic compound, pyrogallol (1,2,3‐trihydroxybenzene), occurs at mildly alkaline pH of 7.8 in an isotonic buffer. Three different cell types (anucleate, microbial, and mammalian cells) are coated with pyrogallol without noticeable decrease in cell viability. The protocol developed in this work could be applied to other polyphenolic compounds, and, considering the many polyphenols identified as a coating material, provides an advanced chemical tool in cell‐surface engineering.     

Ag-SiO2 core-shell nanorod arrays: morphological, optical, SERS, and wetting properties

Using the hydrolysis of tetraethylorthosilicate, a uniform and conformal layer of porous SiO(2) with controlled thickness has been coated onto the oblique angle deposited Ag nanorod (AgNR) array to form an aligned AgNR-SiO(2) core-shell array nanostructure. The morphology, optical property, SERS response, and surface wettability of the AgNRs with different SiO(2) shell thicknesses have been obtained by multiple characterization techniques. The morphological characterization shows that each AgNR on the array is coated with a uniform and porous silica shell independently and the growth of shell thickness follows a linear function versus the coating time. Thickening of the shell induces a monotonic decrease of the apparent contact angle, red-shift of the transverse mode of the localized surface plasmon resonance peak, and makes the SiO(2) shell more compact. The SERS response of 4-Mercaptophenol on these substrates exhibits an exponential decay behavior with the increasing coating time, which is ascribed to the decreasing Ag surface coverage of core-shell nanorods. Under the assumption that the Ag surface coverage is proportional to the SERS intensity, one can estimate the evolution of SiO(2) coverage on AgNRs. Such coverage evolution can be used to qualitatively explain the LSPR wavelength change and quantitatively interpret the contact angle change based on a double Cassie's law.
