Toward Dynamic Liquid Cell Scaffold: Photoreversible Ion Gels Exhibiting Light‐Induced Sol‐Gel Transitions

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Light‐programmable, non‐cytotoxic ion gels based on ABC triblock copolymers undergo photoreversible sol‐gel transitions, crossing the rheological boundary (tan δ ∼ 1). UV–vis light irradiation modulates the lifetime of reversible junctions, switching the scaffold between liquid‐like and solid (gel)‐like states.

Preparation of Thermo-Responsive Poly(ionic liquid)s-Based Nanogels via One-Step Cross-Linking Copolymerization

open access: yesMolecules, 2015
In this study, thermo-responsive polymeric nanogels were facilely prepared via one-step cross-linking copolymerization of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate/divinylbenzene and ionic liquid (IL)-based monomers, 1,n-dialkyl-3,3′-bis-1-vinyl imidazolium ...

Advances in Elemene Nanodelivery Systems: From Material Design to Disease Treatment

open access: yesRare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Elemene (ELE) is a bioactive sesquiterpenoid extracted from traditional Chinese herbs, demonstrating broad‐spectrum antitumor, anti‐inflammatory, and analgesic properties with significant therapeutic potential. However, its clinical utility is constrained by inherent physicochemical limitations, including volatility and hydrophobicity, which ...

Ionogel Actuators: A Review

open access: yesSmartBot, EarlyView.
Ionogels dynamically and functionally couple ionic liquids with polymer networks, enabling multiscale programmable deformation and motion under electrical, magnetic, optical, thermal, humidity, and chemical stimuli. This article systematically elucidates the constituent components, structural design, and multiscale actuation mechanisms of ionogel ...

Self‐Assembled Nanostructured Microgels with Reconfigurable Morphologies

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
This work presents bent‐core amphiphiles that self‐assemble into fibrillar, tubular, and helical nanofiber‐like nanostructures, forming organogels that can be emulsified into water as nanostructured microgels. These droplets preserve internal architectures and, when combined with fluorocarbon oils, yield multicompartment emulsions with dynamically ...

Synthesis and Self-assembly of [60]Fullerene Containing Sulfobetaine Polymer in Aqueous Solution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
A series of well-defined stimuli responsive water soluble [60]fullerene (C₆₀) containing polymers such as polyelectrolytes (polyacids and polybases), polyampholyte and polyzwitterionic polymers were synthesized using atom transfer radical polymerization.
