A wavelength selective technique for light-induced network formation based on two photo-active moieties, namely ortho-methylbenzaldehyde and tetrazole is introduced. The network forming species are photo-reactive star polymers generated via reversible activation fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization, allowing the network to be based on almost any vinylic monomer. Direct laser writing (DLW) allows to form any complex three-dimensional structure based on the photo-reactive star polymers.

Tumor hypoxia is one of key challenges in deep tumor photodynamic therapy (PDT), and how to fix this issue is attracting ongoing concerns worldwide. This work demonstrates dually fluorinated unimolecular micelles with desirable and stable oxygen-carrying capacity, high cellular penetration, and integrative type I & II PDT for deep hypoxic tumors. Dually fluorinated star copolymers with fluorinated phthalocyanines as the core are prepared through photoinitiated electron/energy transfer-reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (PET-RAFT) polymerization under irradiation with NIR LED light at room temperature, followed by assembly into unimolecular micelles.

In this study, waterborne polyurethane (WPU), a novel modifier, was used for the wet surface modification of talc, and its mechanism was investigated. Polypropylene (PP)-based composites with modified talc were synthesized and subjected to an examination of their mechanical properties. The wetting contact angle demonstrated that the modified talc exhibited an excellent modification effect at a specific amount of modifier (2.

Emulsion interface engineering has been widely employed for the synthesis of nanomaterials with various morphologies. However, the instability of the liquid-liquid interface and uncertain interfacial interactions impose significant limitations on controllable fabrications. Here, we developed a liquid-nano-liquid interface-oriented anisotropic encapsulation strategy for fabricating asymmetric nanohybrids.

Photoassisted CO reduction employing a metal-free system is both challenging and fascinating. In our study, we present a structural engineering strategy to tune the potential energy barrier, which, in turn, affects the photoreduction ability. A series of porphyrin-based porous organic polymers () were hydrothermally synthesized and the influence of keto-enol tautomerization on the CO photoreduction potential has been rigorously investigated.

Biofilm-related bacterial keratitis is a severe ocular infection that can result in drastic vision impairment and even blindness. However, the therapeutic efficiency of clinical antibiotic eyedrops is often compromised because the bacteria in the biofilms resist bactericide the community genetic regulation, namely, bacterial quorum sensing. Herein, quercetin (QCT)-loaded star-shaped antibacterial peptide polymer (SAPP), QCT@SAPP, is developed based on a "drug" in a "drug" strategy for inhibiting and eradicating biofilms on the cornea.
