ABSTRACT: Macrocyclic ring compounds are potential corrosion inhibitors due to their high planarity, rigidity, and presence of many heteroatoms such as nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur. However, their application as corrosion inhibitors has been faced with a challenge of insolubility in most organic and aqueous solvents. To overcome this challenge and to harness the untapped hydrophobic property of these compounds, this research, via ultrasonication method dispersed a macrocyclic ring compound known as free-based Phthalocyanine (Pc) to fabricate a corrosion-resistant coating on the Cu surface. The Cu samples were coated through a 24 h immersion by self-assembly method in different systems of sonicated and non-sonicated solutions of the compound in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The effect of sonication and immersion duration on the coating morphology, compactness, and consequent corrosion inhibition was analyzed. Electrochemical and surface imaging techniques revealed higher corrosion protection in 3.5% NaCl for the Pc coated Cu samples after sonication compared to the non-sonicated systems.

Preparation of hydrophobic cotton fabric based on the self-assembly method was proposed. The cotton fabric was modified with 3-(methacryloyloxy)propyltrimethoxysilane and grafted with trifluoroethyl methacrylate and dodecafluoroheptyl methacrylate through free radical polymerization reaction. The objective of this research work was to investigate the effect of fluorine monomer with different chemical structure deposited on cotton fabric on the hydrophobic property. The chemical structure, surface topography, and surface wettability of the fabrics were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and water contact angle experiments, respectively. The results showed that the as-prepared fabrics exhibited water contact angle of above 140°. It was noticed that the fluorocarbon chain length of a modifier and its chemical structure could strongly affect the hydrophobic property of the modified fabrics, and the increase in fluorine atoms caused an increase in the water contact angle values.

Polyaniline (PANI) nanotubes were synthesized separately using amino acetic acid (AA), ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), oxalic acid (OA) as dopant and ammonium persulfate (APS) as oxidant by a self-assembly method. SEM, TEM,FTIR and X-ray diffraction (XRD) and applying the 4 probes method characterized the morphology, structure and property of the product. It was found that nanotubes morphology were synthesized when the [Aci/[A ratio is 1:2.The room template conductivity of the products were studied.

Nanometer-sized polyhedral wire-frame objects hold a wide range of potential applications both as structural scaffolds as well as a basis for synthetic nanocontainers. The utilization of DNA as basic building blocks for such structures allows the exploitation of bottom-up self-assembly in order to achieve molecular programmability through the pairing of complementary bases. In this work, we report on a hollow but rigid tetrahedron framework of 75 nm strut length constructed with the DNA origami method. Flexible hinges at each of their four joints provide a means for structural variability of the object. Through the opening of gaps along the struts, four variants can be created as confirmed by both gel electrophoresis and direct imaging techniques. The intrinsic site addressability provided by this technique allows the unique targeted attachment of dye and/or linker molecules at any point on the structure's surface, which we prove through the superresolution fluorescence microscopy technique DNA PAINT.

The hydrogen-bonding multilayered polyelectrolyte capsules with sizes around 6 μm were fabricated by layer-by-layer self-assembly method. The morphology of the obtained capsules was observed with Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope (CLSM) and Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), respectively. The elastic properties of the capsules were studied with AFM. The capsule was pressed by cantilever with different lengths, a glass bead glued at the end of the cantilever. The force curves were measured on the capsule in air. The Young's modulus of the capsule was obtained (E = 170 MPa for the loading). Results show that this model can predict the elastic deformation of the microcapsule. The accuracy of the elastic deformation of polymer capsule can be ensured using a cantilever of mediate stiffness. Our results show that the existence of the hydrogen-bonding layer makes the multilayered polyelectrolyte harder in comparison with the pure multilayered polyelectrolyte capsules.

The modulatory effect of miR-21 on the proliferation of melanoma cells through stimulation of PTEN (Phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10) expression was investigated in the current study. PTEN, as a tumor suppressor, is expressed in low levels in melanoma tissues and cell lines. Nevertheless, miR-21 can stimulate cancer development and suppress cell apoptosis. Overexpression of PTEN substantially impaired the proliferation of miR-21-treated melanoma cells. In addition, miR-21 and PTEN were observed to exhibit a combinatorial effect, whereas miR-21 could negatively regulate the expression of PTEN. In conclusion, these findings demonstrate that miR-21 affects melanoma development by targeting PTEN, establishing a new strategy for treating malignant melanoma. Furthermore, in this study, microparticles and nanoparticles were employed as carriers to construct, through the self-assembly method, nanocapsules carrying miR-21 in order to develop an efficient nanocapsule delivery system of miR-21 against melanoma cells.
