ATP/azobenzene-guanidinium self-assembly into fluorescent and multi-stimuli-responsive supramolecular aggregates.

Project description:Building stimuli-responsive supramolecular systems is a way for chemists to achieve spatio-temporal control over complex systems as well as a promising strategy for applications ranging from sensing to drug-delivery. For its large spectrum of biological and biomedical implications, adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) is a particularly interesting target for such a purpose but photoresponsive ATP-based systems have mainly been relying on covalent modification of ATP. Here, we show that simply mixing ATP with AzoDiGua, an azobenzene-guanidium compound with photodependent nucleotide binding affinity, results in the spontaneous self-assembly of the two non-fluorescent compounds into photoreversible, micrometer-sized and fluorescent aggregates. Obtained in water at room temperature and physiological pH, these supramolecular structures are dynamic and respond to several chemical, physical and biological stimuli. The presence of azobenzene allows a fast and photoreversible control of their assembly. ATP chelating properties to metal dications enable ion-triggered disassembly and fluorescence control with valence-selectivity. Finally, the supramolecular aggregates are disassembled by alkaline phosphatase in a few minutes at room temperature, resulting in enzymatic control of fluorescence. These results highlight the interest of using a photoswitchable nucleotide binding partner as a self-assembly brick to build highly responsive supramolecular entities involving biological targets without the need to covalently modify them.

Stimuli-responsive supramolecular hydrogels with high extensibility and fast self-healing via precoordinated mussel-inspired chemistry.

Project description:Supramolecular hydrogels have the advantages of stimuli responsiveness and self-healing compared to covalently crosslinked hydrogels. However, the existing supramolecular hydrogels are usually poor in mechanical properties especially in extensibility. In addition, these supramolecular hydrogels need a long self-healing time and have low self-healing efficiency. In this manuscript, we report a novel strategy to develop highly extensible and fast self-healing supramolecular hydrogels by using pre-coordinated mussel-inspired catechol-Fe3+ complexes as dynamic crosslinkers. The hydrogel can be fabricated and cast into various shapes by one-step photo-crosslinking. Thus fabricated hydrogels can be stretched beyond 10 times their original lengths, and the high extensibility can completely recover within a very short time (less than 20 minutes) even after the hydrogels are entirely cut apart. Utilizing the dynamic nature of supramolecular hydrogels, we can realize different mechanical behaviors including strength, extensibility and recoverability by varying the loading conditions. In addition, the hydrogels respond to multiple stimuli including mechanical force, temperature and certain chemicals because of the dynamic catechol-Fe3+ bond.

A multistimuli responsive and self-healing Zn(ii)-inosine supramolecular metal-organic gel: phase selective gelation and application as a light-responsive Schottky barrier diode.

Project description:Utilization of naturally available biomolecules such as nucleosides with several coordination sites as organic counterparts for the synthesis of multifunctional self-assembled metal-organic gels is important, considering the time and efforts required for the design of organic ligands that can coordinate to metal ions, forming a gel. In the present work, inosine, a simple nucleoside has been utilized as a ligand for the generation of a supramolecular metallo-hydrogel through coordination with Zn2+ ions in the presence of NaOH. Several spectroscopic, microscopic and rheological investigations have been performed to characterize the formed gel. The obtained metallo-hydrogel is transparent, and the transparency can be tuned depending on the amount of NaOH used. The Zn-inosine metal-organic gel exhibits several functional properties such as self-healing, stimuli responsiveness, thixotropy, and injectability. Furthermore, the freeze-dried Zn-inosine xerogel exhibited selective gelation of water, which has been utilized to separate water from mixtures that include organic solvents (or oils) and water. The semiconducting characteristics of the Zn-inosine metallogel have been used for device fabrication based on the Schottky diode interface between a semiconductor and metal. The fabricated device was found to be photo-responsive in nature and exhibited better device parameters when illuminated with light. The present results are anticipated to lead to the development of newer soft materials constructed using simple biomolecules for environmental and electronic applications.

Chiral self-sorted multifunctional supramolecular biocoordination polymers and their applications in sensors.

Project description:Chiral supramolecules have great potential for use in chiral recognition, sensing, and catalysis. Particularly, chiral supramolecular biocoordination polymers (SBCPs) provide a versatile platform for characterizing biorelated processes such as chirality transcription. Here, we selectively synthesize homochiral and heterochiral SBCPs, composed of chiral naphthalene diimide ligands and Zn ions, from enantiomeric and mixed R-ligands and S-ligands, respectively. Notably, we find that the chiral self-sorted SBCPs exhibit multifunctional properties, including photochromic, photoluminescent, photoconductive, and chemiresistive characteristics, thus can be used for various sensors. Specifically, these materials can be used for detecting hazardous amine materials due to the electron transfer from the amine to the SBCP surface and for enantioselectively sensing a chiral species naproxen due to the different binding energies with regard to their chirality. These results provide guidelines for the synthesis of chiral SBCPs and demonstrate their versatility and feasibility for use in various sensors covering photoactive, chemiresistive, and chiral sensors.

Influence of Hybrid Sol-Gel Crosslinker on Self-Healing Properties for Multifunctional Coatings.

Project description:Self-healing polymers are a new class of material that has recently received a lot of attention because of the lifespan improvement it could bring to multiple applications. One of the major challenges is to obtain multifunctional materials which can self-heal and exhibit other interesting properties such as protection against corrosion. In this paper, the effect of the incorporation of an aminosilane on the properties of a self-healing organic polymer containing disulfide bond is studied on films and coatings for aluminium AA2024-T3 using simple one step in situ synthesis. Hybrid coatings with enhanced anticorrosion properties measured by EIS were obtained thanks to the formation of a protective oxide interface layer, while exhibiting wound closure after exposition at 75 °C. The thermal, mechanical and rheological properties of the films with different aminosilane amounts were characterized in order to understand the influence of the slight presence of the inorganic network. Stiffer and reprocessable hybrid films were obtained, capable to recover their mechanical properties after healing. The nanocomposite structure, confirmed by TEM, had a positive effect on the self-healing and stress relaxation properties. These results highlight the potential of sol-gel chemistry to obtain efficient anticorrosion and self-healing coatings.

Enhanced Delivery of Neuroactive Drugs via Nasal Delivery with a Self-Healing Supramolecular Gel.

Project description:This paper reports the use of a self-assembling hydrogel as a delivery vehicle for the Parkinson's disease drug l-DOPA. Based on a two-component combination of an l-glutamine amide derivative and benzaldehyde, this gel has very soft rheological properties and self-healing characteristics. It is demonstrated that the gel can be formulated to encapsulate l-DOPA. These drug-loaded gels are characterized, and rapid release of the drug is obtained from the gel network. This drug-loaded hydrogel has appropriate rheological characteristics to be amenable for injection. This system is therefore tested as a vehicle for nasal delivery of neurologically-active drugs-a drug delivery strategy that can potentially avoid first pass liver metabolism and bypass the blood-brain barrier, hence enhancing brain uptake. In vitro tests indicate that the gel has biocompatibility with respect to nasal epithelial cells. Furthermore, animal studies demonstrate that the nasal delivery of a gel loaded with 3 H-labeled l-DOPA out-performed a simple intranasal l-DOPA solution. This is attributed to longer residence times of the gel in the nasal cavity resulting in increased blood and brain concentrations. It is demonstrated that the likely routes of brain penetration of intranasally-delivered l-DOPA gel involve the trigeminal and olfactory nerves connecting to other brain regions.

Responsive and self-healing structural color supramolecular hydrogel patch for diabetic wound treatment.

Project description:The treatment of diabetic wounds remains a great challenge for medical community. Here, we present a novel structural color supramolecular hydrogel patch for diabetic wound treatment. This hydrogel patch was created by using N-acryloyl glycinamide (NAGA) and 1-vinyl-1,2,4-triazole (VTZ) mixed supramolecular hydrogel as the inverse opal scaffold, and temperature responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) hydrogel loaded with vascular endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF) as a filler. Supramolecular hydrogel renders hydrogel patch with superior mechanical properties, in which NAGA and VTZ also provide self-healing and antibacterial properties, respectively. Besides, as the existence of PNIPAM, the hydrogel patch was endowed with thermal-responsiveness property, which could release actives in response to temperature stimulus. Given these excellent performances, we have demonstrated that the supramolecular hydrogel patch could significantly enhance the wound healing process in diabetes rats by downregulating the expression of inflammatory factors, promoting collagen deposition and angiogenesis. Attractively, due to responsive optical property of inverse opal scaffold, the hydrogel patch could display color-sensing behavior that was suitable for the wound monitoring and management as well as guidance of clinical treatment. These distinctive features indicate that the presented hydrogel patches have huge potential values in biomedical fields.

Anisotropic and self-healing hydrogels with multi-responsive actuating capability.

Project description:Inspired by smart biological tissues, artificial muscle-like actuators offer fascinating prospects due to their distinctive shape transformation and self-healing function under external stimuli. However, further practical application is hindered by the lack of simple and general routes to fabricate ingenious soft materials with anisotropic responsiveness. Here, we describe a general in situ polymerization strategy for the fabrication of anisotropic hydrogels composed of highly-ordered lamellar network crosslinked by the metal nanostructure assemblies, accompanied with remarkably anisotropic performances on mechanical, optical, de-swelling and swelling behaviors. Owing to the dynamic thiolate-metal coordination as healing motifs, the composites exhibit rapid and efficient multi-responsive self-healing performance under NIR irradiation and low pH condition. Dependent on well-defined anisotropic structures, the hydrogel presents controllable solvent-responsive mechanical actuating performance. Impressively, the integrated device through a healing-induced assembly way can deliver more complicated, elaborate forms of actuation, demonstrating its great potentials as superior soft actuators like smart robots.

Supramolecular Polymer Co-Assembled Multifunctional Chiral Hybrid Hydrogels with Adhesive, Self-Healing and Antibacterial Properties.

Project description:Amino acid-derived self-assembled nanofibers comprising supramolecular chiral hydrogels with unique physiochemical characteristics are highly demanded biomaterials for various biological applications. However, their narrow functionality often limits practical use, necessitating the development of biomaterials with multiple features within a single system. Herein, chiral co-assembled hybrid hydrogel systems termed LPH-EGCG and DPH-EGCG were constructed by co-assembling L/DPFEG gelators with epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) followed by cross-linking with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and hyaluronic acid (HA). The developed hybrid hydrogels exhibit superior mechanical strength, self-healing capabilities, and adhesive properties, owing to synergistic non-covalent interactions. Integrating hydrophilic polymers enhances the system's capacity to demonstrate favorable swelling characteristics. Furthermore, the introduction of EGCG facilitated the hybrid gels to display notable antibacterial properties against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains, alongside showcasing strong antioxidant capabilities. In vitro investigation demonstrated enhanced cell adhesion and migration with the LPH-EGCG system in comparison to DPH-EGCG, thus emphasizing the promising prospects of these hybrid hydrogels in advanced tissue engineering applications.
