Aim: Constructing a new drug-delivery system using carboxylated graphene quantum dots (cGQDs) for tumor chemotherapy in vivo. Materials & methods: A drug-delivery system was synthesized through a crosslink reaction of cGQDs, NH2-poly(ethylene glycol)-NH2 and folic acid. Results: A drug delivery system of folic acid-poly(ethylene glycol)-cGQDs was successfully constructed with ideal entrapment efficiency (97.5%) and drug-loading capacity (40.1%). Cell image indicated that the nanosystem entered into human cervical cancer cells mainly through macropinocytosis-dependent pathway. In vivo experiments showed the outstanding antitumor ability and low systemic toxicity of this nanodrug-delivery system. Conclusion: The newly developed drug-delivery system provides an important alternative for tumor therapy without causing systemic adverse effects.

In this work, ammonia cross-linked 8-armed polyethylene glycol hydrogel material was successfully synthesized and used as a template for synthesizing nanoparticles with fluorescent properties. The 8-armed polyethylene glycol hydrogel template was used to prepare molybdenum disulfide quantum dots (MoS2 QDs). The ammonium tetrathiomolybdate functioned as a molybdenum source and hydrazine hydrate functioned as a reducing agent. The fluorescence properties of the as-prepared MoS2 QDs were investigated. The bursting of fluorescence caused by adding different concentrations of explosive TNT was studied. The study indicated that the synthesized MoS2 QDs can be used for trace TNT detection with a detection limit of 6 nmol/L and a detection range of 16–700 nmol/L. Furthermore, it indicated that the fluorescence-bursting mechanism is static bursting.

ABSTRACTSolution-based printing and coating processes have the potential to dramatically reduce the production costs of Organic Light Emitting Diodes. This is particularly true for Quantum Dots Light Emitting Diode (QDLEDs), the newborn in the field of LEDs, due to quantum dots price prohibiting wastage. Here, we report our latest results on the development of solutionprocessed QDLEDs. We have implemented a layer by layer strategy, from a whole evaporated small molecule based OLED to a hybrid QDLED developed by wet deposition techniques for the first layers and by evaporation for the last ones. Intermediate steps are discussed in this paper.First, we have worked on a poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) layer. The PEDOT:PSS formulation for inkjet printing and spin coating were optimised: wettability on an ITO substrate, jettability of the inkjet formulation and baking conditions were studied. Additives as surfactant and ethylene glycol were added to the commercial inkjet grade solution to improve the deposition process. As a consequence to this study, anisotropic conductivity of PEDOT:PSS was observed and is reported here. In particular, ethylene glycol demonstrated a strong ability to increase the parallel conductivity by several orders of magnitude, but not the vertical one.Then, inkjet-printed and spin-coated device performances are compared to complete this first study. Hybrid devices with an efficacy of 12cd/A at 4V were obtained, with 2.17 % of EQE, and a luminance of 4000 cd/m2 at 4V.Finally, we succeeded in the development of our first QDLED based on CdSe core/ CdSZnS shell quantum dots emitting at a wavelength of 600nm. Quantum dots were inkjet printed, in order to waste as little as possible this very expensive material.
