AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) from 2-naphthyl-oxy-acetic acid (NOA) and 1-naphthyl-acetic acid (NAA), with stabilization by use of beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) as a host system, has been examined. 2-Bromoethanol and 2,3-dibromopropanol have been evaluated as external heavy atom perturbers to enhance the rate of intersystem crossing and, consequently, populating the triplet state for phosphorescence emission. The deoxygenation of the solutions was achieved chemically by use of sodium sulphite. The spectral characteristics of the phosphorescence emission from these relatively polar compounds and the optimization of the chemical variables involved are reported. The role of the bulkiness of the bromoalcohol employed, in comparison with the unoccupied space of the interior of the cyclodextrin cavity by the guest, is an important factor in the attainment of an effective RTP emission, and should be taken into account in the selection of the appropriate external heavy atom for the observation of RTP from other organic molecules of interest by this approach. 2,3-Dibromopropanol seems a more adequate bromoalcohol than 2-bromoethanol for the observation of RTP emission in the systems investigated.

The design of multifunctional, high-performance wearable heaters utilizing textile substrates has garnered increasing attention, particularly in the development of body temperature and health monitoring devices. However, fabricating these multifunctional wearable heaters while simultaneously ensuring flexibility, air permeability, Joule heating performance, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and antibacterial properties remains a significant challenge. This study utilizes phase transition lysozyme (PTL) film-mediated electroless deposition (ELD) technology to deposit silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on the cotton fabrics surface in a mild aqueous solution at room temperature, thereby constructing a wearable heater with long-term stability, high conductivity, and exceptional photothermal properties.

The present study investigated the covalent binding behavior of the flavonoids, catechin, eriodictyol, luteolin and quercetin with β-lactoglobulin (βlg). Since the four flavonoids possess the identical A- and B-ring structures, effects of the C-rings on the properties of flavonoids and the corresponding semiquinones are revealed. Experimental methods including DLS and CD spectra indicated that with quercetin at room temperature did not induce aggregation of βlg, whilst binding with the other three flavonoids resulted in aggregation of βlg.
