Surfactant regulated aggregation-induced emission of tetraphenylethene-based tetracationic salt for the construction of light harvesting supramolecular system

Yunqin Qi et al.

Summary: Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) can be efficiently achieved using aggregation-induced emission (AIE) luminescent materials. In this study, a supramolecular polymer of AIE was prepared in aqueous solution using tetraphenylethene-based tetracationic salt molecule (1) and sodium dodecyl sulfonate (AS). A highly efficient FRET system was then created using supramolecular aggregate (1-AS) as the energy donor and Rhodamine B (RB) as the energy acceptor. The system exhibited a large Stokes shift of 208 nm, and the fluorescence intensity of RB aqueous solution increased by 11.80 times. The energy transfer efficiency and antenna effect value reached 77.5% and 14.3, respectively. This simple method of achieving efficient luminescence of dye molecules has significant implications for practical applications of efficient lighttrapping systems in aqueous solutions.

Pyrene-Based Nonwoven Fabric with Tunable Fluorescence Properties by Employing the Aggregation-Caused Quenching Effect

Mingxing Zhang et al.

Summary: This study first utilized the aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect to covalently connect ACQ-based pyrene (Py) units to the surface of polyethylene/polypropylene nonwoven fabric (PE/PP NWF), resulting in a fluorescent fabric with excellent fluorescence properties. By controlling the reaction time, the amount of Py units can be regulated, leading to high fluorescence intensity, quantum yield, and stable fluorescence properties with the ability to adjust fluorescence color and intensity through the ACQ effect. Moreover, the fluorescent fabric can effectively differentiate common monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons through a simple fluorescence response test.

Towards DNA-Encoded Micellar Chemistry: DNA-Micelle Association and Environment Sensitivity of Catalysis

Mateja Klika Skopic et al.

Summary: The study investigated the impact of polymer composition on micelle shape and reaction conversion by preparing sulfonic acid-functionalized block copolymers of different compositions. The results showed trends in the relationship between polymer structure and micellar catalytic activity. Additionally, the research indicated that DNA-oligomer-conjugates accumulated effectively in micellar compartments, which is essential for carrying out DNA-encoded reactions in the presence of polymer micelles.

Aptamer-Conjugated Micelles for Targeted Photodynamic Therapy Via Photoinitiated Polymerization-Induced Self-Assembly

Angie B. Korpusik et al.

Summary: This study introduces a photoinitiated polymerization-induced self-assembly method mediated by Rose Bengal methacrylate for reproducibly constructing nanoparticles in large scale for photodynamic therapy. The multifunctionality of this method allows for covalent incorporation of Rose Bengal into nanostructures and enhancement of internalization by tumor cells through DNA aptamer modification. The aptamer-labeled nanoparticles prepared for PDT can potentially be used for clinical cancer treatment.
