Hot Paper: Directed phase separation of PFO:PS blends during spin-coating using feedback controlled in situ stroboscopic fluorescence microscopy

07 May 2013

This article has been made free to access for a short time!

Thin-films of semi-conducting polymers, which are used in the production of light emitting diodes (LEDs) and organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices, are commonly prepared by a spin coating method. The performance of these films is highly dependent on their final morphology; however understanding and exercising control over the formation of film morphologies has previously been challenging.

In this hot paper, Howse and co-workers used high speed stroboscopic fluorescence microscopy to observe directly the development of phase separated structures in poly(styrene) and poly(9,9’-dioctylfluorene) blends during the spin-coating process. Their feedback-modulated spin coating technique enabled unprecedented control over the thin-film morphology, and presents a route towards increased efficiency in the manufacture of LED and OPV devices.

Hot Paper: Theoretical understanding of single-stranded DNA assisted dispersion of graphene

29 Apr 2013

By Katie Bayliss, Development Editor.

This article has been made free to access for a short time!

Functionalisation of graphene by adsorbed single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) enables the dispersion of graphene in aqueous solution. The resulting composites are of great interest as biomaterials with applications in areas such as molecular diagnostics, biosensors and DNA sequencing. Hence, there is much to be gained from an improved understanding of the interaction between graphene and ssDNA.

In this hot paper, Manna and Pati use atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and density functional theory (DFT) to investigate the structural topology, energetics and electronic structure of ssDNA hybridized with graphene. They find the adsorption process is influenced by competing π–π stacking interactions, which are highly dependent on the chemical nature of the nucleobase and the sequence type of the ssDNA. Mixed nucleobase sequence ssDNA is proposed as a better candidate for dispersing graphene than ssDNA containing homologous base sequences.

This research provides a fundamental understanding of the adsorption of ssDNA on graphene, and therefore has important implications for the design of graphene-based biomaterials.

Hot Paper: Bioreducible polypeptide micelles for chemotherapy

15 Apr 2013

By James Serginson, web writer.

The use of antitumour drugs has always been problematic due to the risk of severe side-effects consistent with such cytotoxic compounds. A logical method of reducing side effects is to exercise more control over the deployment of drugs, ensuring that they are only delivered to cancer cells and not across the entire body. The first stage in the development of such a system is the design of biocompatible drug carriers.

Drug carriers must be designed in such a way that they do not interfere with the therapeutic action of the drug yet also be sufficiently resilient that their payload is not released before their cellular destination. A solution to this is to use a chemical trigger that exploits differences in the extracellular and intracellular environments. One such difference is redox potential. Inside the cell, the concentration of the thiol-containing tripeptide glutathione (GSH) is around one order of magnitude higher than it is outside the cell. Disulfides (-S-S-) can be rapidly degraded by GSH meaning that structures that contain them are extremly unstable inside the cell yet remain completely stable in the mildly oxidising conditions found in the extracellular milieu.

Ding et al. prepared micelles consisting of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and poly(ε-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-lysine) (PZLL) linked by a disulfide group. Upon entering the cell, it was envisaged that the fission of the disulfide would greatly undermine the structural integrity of the micelle. The carriers formed were of the order of 100 nm in size and were loaded with the drug Doxorubicon (DOX). In a non-reducing environment more than 50% of the drug was held after sixty hours; in the presence of GSH less than 10% was held demonstrating the effectiveness of the trigger. In vitro efficacy of the micelles was demonstrated using cellular imaging and the biocompatibility of the micelles was found to be extremely high.

Mesoporous materials from macroalgae: Journal of Materials Chemistry A article in Chemistry World

11 Apr 2013

By Hannah Porter, Publishing Assistant.

It is estimated that less than 1% of the world’s macroalgae biomass is currently utilised but UK scientists have found a use for some of it – in the preparation of highly mesoporous materials.

Mesoporous materials have a variety of applications including catalysts and drug delivery systems. Previously, other biomass sources, such as peas, potatoes and corn, have been considered for use in the production of mesoporous materials. However, by using seaweed as the biomass source, James Clark, and co-workers, at the University of York, UK, managed to form mesoporous material, without the need for costly processes, such as supercritical carbon dioxide drying.
