The assembly of photofunctional molecules into host matrices has become an important strategy to achieve tunable fluorescence and to develop intelligent materials. The stimuli-responsive photofunctional materials based on chromophores-assembled layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have received much attention from both academic and industry fields as a result of their advantages, such as high photo/thermal stability, easy processing, and well reversibility, which can construct new types of smart luminescent nanomaterials (e.g., ultrathin film and nanocomposite) for sensor and switch applications. In this paper, external environmental stimuli have mainly involved physical (such as temperature, pressure, light, and electricity) and chemical factors (such as pH and metal ion); recent progress on the LDH-based organic-inorganic stimuli-responsive materials has been summarized. Moreover, perspectives on further development of these materials are also discussed.

Succinoglycan is a type of bacterial anionic exopolysaccharide produced from Rhizobium, Agrobacterium, and other soil bacteria. The exact structure of succinoglycan depends in part on the type of bacterial strain, and the final production yield also depends on the medium composition, culture conditions, and genotype of each strain. Various bacterial polysaccharides, such as cellulose, xanthan, gellan, and pullulan, that can be mass-produced for biotechnology are being actively studied. However, in the case of succinoglycan, a bacterial polysaccharide, relatively few reports on production strains or chemical and structural characteristics have been published. Physical properties of succinoglycan, a non-Newtonian and shear thinning fluid, have been reported according to the ratio of substituents (pyruvyl, succinyl, acetyl group), molecular weight (Mw), and measurement conditions (concentration, temperature, pH, metal ion, etc.). Due to its unique rheological properties, succinoglycan has been mainly used as a thickener and emulsifier in the cosmetic and food industries. However, in recent reports, succinoglycan and its derivatives have been used as functional biomaterials, e.g., in stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems, therapeutics, and cell culture scaffolds. This suggests a new and expanded application of succinoglycan as promising biomaterials in biomedical fields, such as tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and pharmaceuticals using drug delivery.

AbstractThe similarity patterns in the physicochemical properties of copper–lead and copper–zinc borate glasses were identified by means of finding similarity within the objects of study using multivariate statistical analysis. As exploratory methods of multivariate analysis, cluster analysis, principal components analysis, and two-way clustering were applied for a set of copper–lead and copper–zinc borate glasses. Specific correlations among the physicochemical properties of copper glasses were interpreted. In particular, the effect of Pb and Zn doping metal ion in copper glasses in the structural and mechanical properties is identified. Interestingly, the degree of lead content determines two kinds of glasses with specific physicochemical properties.

The heavy metal ion Cu2+ was used as the research object in this study. Cu2+ was detected using a cysteine- and glutathione-modified cadmium telluride quantum dot solution. Compounds of Cu2+ and modified quantum dots on the surface caused the fluorescence quenching of quantum dots. A linear relationship existed between the concentration and the intensity of the change in fluorescence quenching. Using this linear relationship, the quantitative detection of the Cu2+ content in the solution by quantum dots was achieved; the detection band was 476-800 nm. Under optimized conditions, the detection limit of the method was 3.58×10-5 mol/L (S/N=3, n=11), and the linear range was 3×10-7 to 8×10-4 mol/L. In a certain experimental environment, standard normal variate preprocessing of the characteristic band and partial least squares modeling and analysis yielded good self-prediction and actual prediction abilities. The correction coefficient was 0.9006. The RMSEC was 8.83084 µmol/L, the determination coefficient of the validation set was 0.8686, and the RMSEP was 5.4320 µmol/L. The results showed that the modeling effect was good in the experiment, the operation was simple and convenient, and the experiment was fast, reliable, and nonpolluting, indicating that the method of detecting Cu2+ using a quantum dot fluorescent probe was feasible.
