A new boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) fluorescent dye aimed at sensitively detecting hypochlorite anion (ClO) has been designed, synthesized and characterized. The probe is comprised of a BODIPY fluorophore unit and a ClO specific reactive group of amidoxime. The addition of hypochlorite results in a red-shift of absorption and emission spectra of the probe accompanied by a decrease of intensity and spectra changes (A and 1/I) of the probe can achieve a good linearity to the concentration of ClO. The fluorescence probe can react to ClO rapidly (within 60 s) in a wide pH range (4-10) with high sensitivity (detection limit of 6.81 μM) and selectivity. The reaction mechanism has been proposed and confirmed by MS analysis, ClO anion oxidizes amidoxime moiety to hydroxyl group and hydroxyl group is further oxidized to formyl group in the formation of a corresponding aldehyde compound. In addition, the probe has also been successfully applied to detect ClO in tap water and river water samples by spiking a known amount of standard ClO.

A wearable detector to monitor visible light intensity is realized by the restrained photochromism of a hydrogel composite containing light-responsive spiropyran with hydroxyl groups (SPOH). When exposed to visible light, the SPOH experiences a ring-opening to a ring-closed transition accompanied by discoloration from red to yellow. Unlike in the solution, the photochromism/discoloration rate is strongly correlated to the cross-linking points.

Traditional drug-delivery methods are limited by low bioavailability and nonspecific drug distribution, resulting in poor therapeutic efficacy and potential risks of toxicity. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have attracted wide attention as drug-delivery carriers due to their large specific surface area, adjustable pore size, good mechanical strength, good biocompatibility, and rich hydroxyl groups on their surface. In this paper, MSNs were synthesized by a template method, and the morphology and pore structure were regulated.

The aging population necessitates a critical need for medical devices, where polymers-based surface lubrication coating is essential for optimal functionality. In fact, lubrication and mechanical requirements vary depending on the service environment of different medical devices. Until now, key mean is still blank for general preparation of hydrophilic polymers-based lubrication coatings with on-demand mechanics and lubricity.

Recently, researchers have used silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) coupled with humic acid (HA) as antimicrobial agents. Herein, AgNPs were prepared and coupled with humic acid for their antimicrobial activities. The as-prepared AgNPs coupled with humic acid (HA) were characterized by an atomic force microscope (AFM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), zeta potential, zeta sizer, Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and UV-VIS spectrophotometer.
