Main‐chain polyfullerenes: Taking fullerene to the next dimension

Polymer International, EarlyView.
This short review appraises main‐chain polyfullerenes. Their slow development over 30 years has suddenly boomed with a rapid growth due to exciting developments in solar energy. Abstract This mini‐review gives an overview of the development, chemistry, properties and applications of main‐chain polyfullerenes.

Resistance in antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation of bacteria

Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences, 2015
Abstract Antibiotics have increasingly lost their impact to kill bacteria efficiently during the last 10 years. The emergence and dissemination of superbugs with resistance to multiple antibiotic classes have occurred among Gram-positive and Gram-negative strains including Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella ...

Efficient water‐soluble blue/red‐emissive carbon dots matching plant absorption spectra: Synthesis, tunable control, and their applications in promoting plant growth

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
Guided by the spectral demand of plant photosystems, this review summarizes the synthesis, emission regulation, dual‐emission design, and gram‐scale production of CDs for agricultural applications. Spectrally matched blue‐ and red‐emissive CDs enhance plant light utilization by converting underutilized light into photosynthetically active radiation and

Carbonized polymer dots with aqueous‐stable room‐temperature phosphorescence: Mechanism, matrix engineering, and application

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
This review focuses on inorganic and organic matrices that enable aqueous‐stable room‐temperature phosphorescence (RTP) in carbonized polymer dots (CPDs). It explains the underlying RTP mechanisms, highlights how matrix engineering provides spatial confinement and bonding interactions to stabilize triplet excitons in water, and demonstrates key ...

Immunomodulatory Nanozymes as Programmable Redox–Immune Set‐Point Regulators

Small, EarlyView.
Conceptual phase space linking reactive oxygen species level/dynamics to immune state, with pathological set‐points for chronic inflammation, tumor escape, and degeneration contrasted against a central healthy redox–immune set‐point. Buffering and amplifying nanozymes are depicted as devices that dial redox tone up or down to steer diseased ...

Quantitative Imaging of Human Hemoglobin Binding to Staphylococcus aureus With Single‐Molecule Resolution

Small, EarlyView.
Single‐molecule localization microscopy is exploited to quantify the number of hemoglobin copies bound to specific receptors on S. aureus wall. This quantification supports the design of a photoactive derivative of hemoglobin able to photo‐inactivate S.
