Summary: Metallogels are materials formed by complexing polymer gels with metal ions that can coordinate with the gel's functional groups. Hydrogels made of cellulose are of particular interest due to their low cost, renewable nature, versatility, non-toxicity, mechanical and thermal stability, porous structure, reactive OH groups, and biocompatibility. Various techniques exist for preparing hydrogels from non-derivatized cellulose, including plant-derived cellulose and cellulose wastes. This review discusses the advantages and limitations of solvent use in industrial scaling up, as well as the methods for preparing cellulose metallogels with d-transition metals.

Summary: In this study, a calix[4]arene-based gelator 1 capable of self-assembling into microspheres in ethanol/H2O mixtures was synthesized. The self-assembly of gelator 1 was found to be driven by cooperative interactions of intermolecular noncovalent forces. Additionally, gelator 1 demonstrated remarkable selectivity towards Hg2+ ions, and the presence of Hg2+ ions enhanced the gelling ability and led to morphological changes of the self-assembled structures through metal-ligand interactions.

Summary: Dialkyl carbonates with short-medium alkyl length, also known as oleochemical carbonates, have attractive properties and a wide range of applications. However, their chemical physical properties and microscopic correlations are not well understood. In this study, we explored the temperature dependence of these properties and the microscopic morphology of DACs. Our findings reveal a distinct degree of mesoscopic spatial segregation and the role of carbonate moieties in driving weak hydrogen bonding interactions and alkyl chain alignment. These findings have implications for the potential applications of DACs in separation, catalysis, and lubrication fields.

Summary: In this work, a simple electrochemical immunosensor was developed for the detection of D-dimer protein in human plasma samples. The immunosensor was constructed by drop-casting chitosan nanoparticles (CSNPs) as a biocompatible support, Protein A (PrA) to facilitate antibody orientation, and D-dimer antibody onto a carboxyl functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes screen printed electrode (MWCNTs-SPE). The immunosensor showed promising performance in antibody immobilization and specific D-dimer detection, with a linear range from 2 to 500 μg L-1, LOD of 0.6 μg L-1, and sensitivity of 1.3 μA L μg(-1) cm(-2). The stability and fast response time (5 s) were also reported. Moreover, the immunosensor demonstrated satisfactory results in detecting D-dimer in human plasma samples.

Summary: CP12 is a redox-dependent conditionally disordered protein found in oxygenic photosynthetic organisms. It acts as a light-dependent redox switch in regulating the metabolic phase of photosynthesis. A small angle X-ray scattering analysis confirmed the disordered nature of this protein and showed a decrease in size and conformational disorder upon oxidation. The presence of disulfide bonds in the oxidized form does not confer rigidity to the protein structure, highlighting the importance of recruiting partner proteins for its final folding.

Summary: This study investigates the interactions between cationic hydroxyethyl cellulose (catHEC) and sodium deoxycholate (NaDC) or sodium cholate (NaC). It is found that there are strong interactions between catHEC and NaDC, while the interactions with NaC are weak. This difference may be due to the ability of NaDC to form more connections and entanglements.

Summary: In this study, a diblock copolymer called methoxy-poly(ethyleneglycol)-block-poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (MPEG-b-PCL) was synthesized with a unique block composition that allows it to exhibit both an upper critical solution temperature (UCST) and a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) in aqueous solutions. The UCST value was found to be 32°C upon heating and 23°C upon cooling, while the LCST remained unaffected. Various characterization techniques revealed that the solution consisted of spherical core-shell particles and rodlike objects at intermediate temperatures, cylindrical core-shell crystals at low temperatures, and large aggregation complexes at temperatures above 52°C. This work provides valuable insights into the complex interplay between UCST and LCST and the resulting structures formed in aqueous solutions of MPEG-b-PCL diblock copolymers.

Summary: In this study, the influence of transition metal doping on the electronic and mechanical properties and electrochemical performance of 2HMoS2/NC was investigated using Cobalt (Co) as an example. Co doping was found to effectively improve the electronic conductivity and active site areas of 2H-MoS2/NC at different positions, optimizing the adsorption and diffusion capability of potassium ions. Furthermore, the study revealed the optimal roles of different types of nitrogen atoms in kinetic adsorption, diffusion, and interfacial stability of potassium ions. These findings provide guidance for the experimental design of high rate 2H-MoS2/NC electrode materials and the optimal design of other functional composite materials.

Summary: This research developed an effective approach to enhance the charging rates of lithium ion batteries (LIBs) by strategically incorporating carbon nanotube (CNT) conductivity boosters into Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) electrodes. Multi-layer architectures comprising CNT-rich and CNT-free LTO electrode layers were manufactured using a layer-by-layer spray coating method to promote charge transfer kinetics of high mass loading electrodes. The best performing multi-layer was paired with a spray-coated LiFePO4 (LFP) positive electrode, resulting in attractive power performance that outperformed conventional LTO || LFP combinations.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
