Light-Responsive Colloidal Crystals Engineered with DNA

A novel method for synthesizing and photopatterning colloidal crystals via light-responsive DNA is developed. These crystals are composed of 10–30 nm gold nanoparticles interconnected with azobenzene-modified DNA strands. The photoisomerization of the azobenzene molecules leads to reversible assembly and disassembly of the base-centered cubic (bcc) and face-centered cubic (fcc) crystalline nanoparticle lattices. In addition, UV light is used as a trigger to selectively remove nanoparticles on centimeter-scale thin films of colloidal crystals, allowing them to be photopatterned into preconceived shapes. The design of the azobenzene-modified linking DNA is critical and involves complementary strands, with azobenzene moieties deliberately staggered between the bases that define the complementary code. This results in a tunable wavelength-dependent melting temperature (T_m) window (4.5–15 °C) and one suitable for affecting the desired transformations. In addition to the isomeric state of the azobenzene groups, the size of the particles can be used to modulate the T_m window over which these structures are light-responsive.     

Fluoro-Photoacoustic Polymeric Renal Reporter for Real-Time Dual Imaging of Acute Kidney Injury

Photoacoustic (PA) imaging agents detect disease tissues and biomarkers with increased penetration depth and enhanced spatial resolution relative to traditional optical imaging, and thus hold great promise for clinical applications. However, existing PA imaging agents often encounter the issues of slow body excretion and low-signal specificity, which compromise their capability for in vivo detection. Herein, a fluoro-photoacoustic polymeric renal reporter (FPRR) is synthesized for real-time imaging of drug-induced acute kidney injury (AKI). FPRR simultaneously turns on both near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) and PA signals in response to an AKI biomarker (γ-glutamyl transferase) with high sensitivity and specificity. In association with its high renal clearance efficiency (78% at 24 h post-injection), FPRR can detect cisplatin-induced AKI at 24 h post-drug treatment through both real-time imaging and optical urinalysis, which is 48 h earlier than serum biomarker elevation and histological changes. More importantly, the deep-tissue penetration capability of PA imaging results in a signal-to-background ratio that is 2.3-fold higher than NIRF imaging. Thus, the study not only demonstrates the first activatable PA probe for real-time sensitive imaging of kidney function at molecular level, but also highlights the polymeric probe structure with high renal clearance.     

A Flexi-PEGDA Upconversion Implant for Wireless Brain Photodynamic Therapy

Near-infrared (NIR) activatable upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) enable wireless-based phototherapies by converting deep-tissue-penetrating NIR to visible light. UCNPs are therefore ideal as wireless transducers for photodynamic therapy (PDT) of deep-sited tumors. However, the retention of unsequestered UCNPs in tissue with minimal options for removal limits their clinical translation. To address this shortcoming, biocompatible UCNPs implants are developed to deliver upconversion photonic properties in a flexible, optical guide design. To enhance its translatability, the UCNPs implant is constructed with an FDA-approved poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) core clad with fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP). The emission spectrum of the UCNPs implant can be tuned to overlap with the absorption spectra of the clinically relevant photosensitizer, 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA). The UCNPs implant can wirelessly transmit upconverted visible light till 8 cm in length and in a bendable manner even when implanted underneath the skin or scalp. With this system, it is demonstrated that NIR-based chronic PDT is achievable in an untethered and noninvasive manner in a mouse xenograft glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) model. It is postulated that such encapsulated UCNPs implants represent a translational shift for wireless deep-tissue phototherapy by enabling sequestration of UCNPs without compromising wireless deep-tissue light delivery.

[成形过程仿真优化与集成计算材料工程]注射成形熔体喷射的三维模拟及消除对策研究

为了探寻塑料注射成形过程中熔体喷射的消除对策，采用高精度离散格式追踪熔体流动前沿，基于有限体积法离散控制方程，发展了三维数值算法。与实验结果对比发现：所发展算法能有效模拟壁厚为4 mm的长方体型腔内的两种喷射演化模式以及厚壁型腔内的熔体喷射及其演化过程；小壁厚型腔内熔体的屈曲呈二维折叠演化，厚壁型腔内熔体的屈曲呈三维缠绕演化；重力对厚壁型腔内的喷射演化产生影响。通过增大剪切速率即改变熔体流动速度大小或者流动方向能有效消除或抑制喷射现象，并且用两个数值算例论证了该观点。     

Photonic Metamaterial Absorbers: Morphology Engineering and Interdisciplinary Applications

Recent advances in nanofabrication technologies have spurred many breakthroughs in the field of photonic metamaterials that provide efficient ways of manipulating light–matter interaction at subwavelength scales. As one of the most important applications, photonic metamaterials can be used to implement novel optical absorbers. First the morphology engineering of various photonic metamaterial absorbers is discussed, which is highly associated with impendence matching conditions and resonance modes of the absorbers, thus directly determines their absorption efficiency, operational bandwidth, incident angle, and polarization dependence. Then, the recent achievements of various interdisciplinary applications based on photonic metamaterial absorbers, including structural color generation, ultrasensitive optical sensing, solar steam generation, and highly responsive photodetection, are reviewed. This report is expected to provide an overview and vision for the future development of photonic metamaterial absorbers and their applications in novel nanophotonic systems.     

光学材料的磨削损伤控制试验研究

基于K9玻璃不同的磨削工艺参数确定其磨削损伤层深度随工艺参数变化的规律，并通过工件磨削损伤层深度的动态检测研究其裂纹扩展规律。结果表明:工件磨削过程中的裂纹损伤是动态扩展过程。固定工艺参数下，裂纹稳态扩展，损伤层深度不变；采用损伤更小的工艺参数磨削，裂纹的扩展速度小于材料的去除速度，其损伤层深度逐渐减小，损伤的去除速度逐渐减慢直至二者间达到稳态平衡。同时，为了去除前道工序的损伤层，后道工序的材料去除量需达到前道工序损伤层深度的2～3倍。      

Synthesis of highly transparent and thermally stable copolyimide with fluorine-containing dianhydride and alicyclic dianhydride

The development of optical films is highly desirable for applications in flexible displayers. In this work, a copolyimide (co-PI) film with high thermal stability and high transparency was prepared by the copolymerization of 2,2′-bis(trifluoromethyl)-4,4′-diaminodiphenyl ether, cyclobutanetetracarboxylic dianhydride, and 4,4′-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphthalic anhydride (6FDA). The effects of aliphatic dianhydride and fluorine dianhydride monomers on the optical, thermal, and mechanical properties of the co-PIs were discussed in detail based on the experimental results and theoretical simulations. We found that the preparation of polyimide (PI) based on the combination of two dianhydrides could obtain the PI film with excellent comprehensive performance due to nonconjugated structure and strong electron-withdrawing effect. Through the structure and composition optimization, a PI film of PI-6FDA-70 with T_g of 300 °C, T_d10% more than 500 °C, the average transparency of 90% and the elongation at the breakage more than 8% was prepared. Such molecular design provides a practical approach to develop high-performance colorless PI films. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2020 , 137, 48603.
