AbstractWe reported an electro-driven chemomechanical hydrogel showing quick responses with worm-like motility. The principle of the motion is based on the molecular assembly reaction of cationic surfactant and negatively charged hydrogel. And direction of complexation accompanying gel contraction is controlled by changing the polarity of the applied electric field. Both thermodynamics and kinetics of surfactant binding and diffusion are investigated experimentally and theoretically. We also reported shape memory hydrogel by order-disorder transition of alkyl side chain, and some examples od friction of hydrogels showing that frictional behaviors of hydorgels do not conform to Amonton's law.

An alkyl isomerization strategy is reported to finely modulate the crystallinity of nonfullerene acceptors as well as their photovoltaic responses to post-treatments.

Antibacterial And Antifungal

Herein, we report antibacterial and antifungal evaluation of a series of previously prepared (+)-tanikolide analogues. One analogue, (4S,6S)-4-methyltanikolide, displayed promising anti-methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus activity with a MIC of 12.5 µg/mL. Based on the antimicrobial properties of the structurally related (−)-malyngolide, two further analogues (4S,6S)-4-methylmalyngolide and (4R,6S)-4-methylmalyngolide bearing a shortened n-nonyl alkyl side chain were prepared in the present study using a ZrCl4-catalysed deprotection/cyclisation as the key step in their asymmetric synthesis. When these were tested for activity against anti-methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, the MIC increased to 50 µg/mL.
