A novel small-molecule near-infrared II fluorescence probe for orthotopic osteosarcoma imaging

Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant tumor of bone, particularly among children and adolescents. Advances in imaging, surgical techniques, and implants have dramatically reduced the need for amputation in the past three decades.Recently, in vivo fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared window(NIR-II, 1,000–1,700 nm) shows impressive advantages of deeper tissue penetration and higher spatial resolution, which makes it a promising tool for the early diagnosis and post-operative observation of Osteosarcoma. To the best of our knowledge, this paper is the first time to develop a novel NIR-II fluorescence probe conjugated with an osteosarcoma targeted oligopeptide for molecular tumor imaging in a xenograft orthotopic osteosarcoma mouse model.     

Catalyst-controlled diastereoselective ring-opening formal [3+2]-cycloadditions of arylvinyl oxirane 2,2-diesters with cyclic N-sulfonyl imines

A diastereoselectivity-controllable formal [3+2]-cycloaddition of arylvinyl oxirane 2,2-diesters with cyclic N-sulfonyl imines is developed, affording the corresponding tricyclic oxazolidine derivatives in moderate to excellent yields with excellent diastereoselectivities in the presence of palladium(0) or scandium(III) triflate. This protocol allows selective synthesis of diastereomers of tricyclic oxazolidine derivatives under switchable and mild conditions. Further transformations of the obtained products were conducted by removing ester groups and arylvinyl moieties.     

Amphiphilic miktoarm star copolymers can self-assemble into micelle-like aggregates in nonselective solvents: a case study of polyoxometalate based miktoarm stars

It is well-known that amphiphilic star-shaped copolymers can self-assemble in selective solvents to form complicated micellar constructs as a synergistic result of both the topological constraints and relative volume fractions of the arms. Although the association phenomena of amphiphilic stars have been observed in nonselective solvents, both the structural detail and formation mechanism of these associates are not clear yet. Moreover, these experimental observations are controversial with respect to molecularly dispersed starlike copolymers in nonselective solvents as is popularly believed. To clarify these issues, we have synthesized a series of polyoxometalate-based polystyrene-poly(ethylene glycol)(PS-PEG) miktoarm star supramolecular copolymers(SEW-1–5) by coupling a Keggin-type polyoxometalate of K_4[α-SiW_(12)O_(40)] with 1,2,3-triazolium bridged block copolymers of-PS_n-b~+-PEG_mI~-(n=17, 26, 39, 57, 81; m=45) through ionic exchange reactions, respectively. TEM imaging,contact angle and ~1H NMR studies reveal that SEW-2–5 self-assemble in chloroform, THF, and toluene to create micellelike aggregates ranging from cylinder to sphere with a PS corona and a PEG core, while for SEW-1, reverse bilayers are captured with a PEG corona and a PS core. Among these aggregates, the Keggin clusters of [α-SiW_(12)O_(40)]~(4-) localize at the core-corona interfaces between PS and PEG. In terms of solvent quality, chloroform, THF, and toluene are only slightly poorer for PEG than that for PS with a relative order of chloroformTHFtoluene. These unexpected aggregates originate from the topological constraints of the chemically different arms of PS and PEG in the miktoarm stars, where the weak incompatibility between the PS and PEG arms is intensified appropriately. The presence of the reverse bilayered structures of SEW-1 is due to the magnified steric hindrance of the PEG45 arm with decreasing the molecular weight of the PS17 arm. However, to the best of our knowledge,these are the first examples clearly indicating that miktoarm star copolymers can self-assemble in common good solvents or slightly selective solvents to generate micellelike aggregates. This scenario is not only in sharp contrast to the intuitively considered behavior of unimolecular miktoarm stars in nonselective solvents, but also rather different from the conventional selfassembly behavior of amphiphilic star copolymers in selective solvents.     

Regulating silver nanowire size enables efficient photoelectric conversion

The increasing demand for the state-of-the-art transparent conductive electrodes has received great interest in synthesizing silver nanowires(AgNWs) with a uniform diameter that exhibit excellent conductance, transparency, flexibility and mechanical ductility. Herein, we report the controllable synthesis of ultrathin AgNWs with high aspect ratio via a polyol-assisted process.The diameter of AgNWs can be continuously modulated from 20 to 80 nm by simply adjusting the aging time. The selfassembled films fabricated by using AgNWs with a diameter of 20 nm as building blocks enable an excellent performance and show a sheet resistance of ～30 Ω/sq and an optical transmittance of 94%. In addition, such nanowire-based conductive films can keep the excellent flexibility and resistance after bending 10,000 cycles. Similarly, the intelligent dimming films prepared by this AgNW films also have excellent flexibility and stability.     

超高分子量聚乙烯烧结制品的链缠结调控及其对性能影响

利用新的单中心Ziegler-Natta(Z-N)催化剂,通过干预分子链的生长与聚集行为,可获得低缠结的超高分子量聚乙烯(UHMWPE)初生树脂.本研究利用这类低缠结UHMWPE,通过设置不同的烧结温度(Ts)来改变熔体缠结状态,并探讨了链缠结程度对烧结制品结构与性能的影响.实验结果表明TS=220℃下,UHMWPE样品发生显著的复缠,造成高缠结度;而Ts=170℃下,初始低缠结状态能够得以充分保留,从而获得了缠结度具有明显差别的不同样品.示差扫描量热法(DSC)测试表明,在Ts=170℃下,低缠结度有利于在随后等温及冷却结晶过程中生成高熔点(最高达141℃)晶体与高的结晶度(最高达65%).力学测试表明低缠结度制品的综合力学性能显著提升,其中屈服强度提高72%,拉伸断裂强度提升139%,弹性模量提升162%以及断裂伸长率提升36%,实现了同时增强增韧.这就提供了一种从调节链缠结温度实现UHMWPE烧结制品高性能化的新思路.
