Reduced Graphene Oxide-Based Double Network Polymeric Hydrogels for Pressure and Temperature Sensing

Sensors, 2018
We demonstrate the fabrication of novel reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-based double network (DN) hydrogels through the polymerization of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAm) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC).

A PNIPAM-based fluorescent nanothermometer with ratiometric readout

Chem. Commun., 2011
A novel molecular thermometer with ratiometric fluorescence readout was designed and synthesized. Within a sensing temperature range of 33 to 41 °C, the fluorescence color of the nanothermometer changes from blue to green. The ratiometric change magnitude is about 8.7-fold, rendering the visual differentiation of color by the naked eyes feasible.

NIR‐Activatable Domino Cascade Catalysis Nanozyme Reactor for Multi‐Mechanism Synergistic Immunotherapy in Bladder Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents an intravesical delivery strategy of ferroptosis‐ and immunity‐inducing nanozyme‐loaded thermoresponsive hydrogels (FMCC@PNH) for enhanced bladder cancer therapy. Abstract Current intravesical therapies for bladder cancer after resection are limited by poor tissue penetration, off‐target effects, and insufficient efficacy.
