Article Abstract

In this study, we developed a new type of multifunctional molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) composite as an all-in-one biosensor for the low-cost, rapid and sensitive detection of doxycycline in pig plasma. The MIP composite consisted of a magnetic core for ease of manipulation, and a shell of fluorescent MIPs for selective recognition of doxycycline. By simply incorporating a small amount of fluorescent monomer (fluorescein-O-acrylate), the fluorescent MIP layer was successfully grafted onto the magnetic core via a surface imprinting technique. The resultant MIP composites showed significant doxycycline-dependent fluorescence quenching in an aqueous environment. Good linearity ranging from 0.2 to 6 µM was achieved, and the limit of detection was determined to be 117 nM. The biosensor also showed good selectivity towards doxycycline when compared to other common antibiotic residues. The multifunctional MIP composites were used to directly extract doxycycline from spiked pig plasma samples and quantify the antibiotics based on the quenched fluorescence signals. Recoveries of doxycycline were found in the range of 88-107%.

Osteopontin (OPN), a multifunctional milk protein essential for bioactive functions, remains challenging to isolate efficiently due to the limited specificity of conventional methods. We developed hydrogel-based molecularly imprinted membranes (MIMs) for selective OPN recognition. Dimethylaminopropyl methacrylamide (DMAPMA) and N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) were selected as functional monomers based on molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, ensuring optimized binding interactions.

As demands increase for multifunctional textiles and breathable coatings in high-humidity and high-mobility environments, the development of membranes that combine waterproofing, breathability, and mechanical durability has become a critical challenge. This study presents a novel, organic solvent-free electrospinning approach to fabricate waterborne polyurethane (WPU)-based nanofiber membranes, enhanced by polyacrylamide (PAM) as a dual-functional additive. By leveraging hydrogen bonding interactions between the -COO, -NHCOO- groups in WPU and the -CONH groups in PAM, the resulting composite achieved stable electrospinning, improved fiber morphology, and a significantly higher water contact angle (86.

Redox-responsive fluorescence regulation at heterointerfaces remains a critically underdeveloped yet strategically significant domain in advanced chemical sensing. Herein, we present an exciton modulation strategy enabled by heterojunction engineering between electron-rich CdSe quantum dots and an electron-deficient covalent triazine framework (CTF). This type-I CdSe@CTF heterostructure achieves nanoscale electronic decoupling and directional charge redistribution, unveiling a previously unreported fluorescence-switching mechanism governed by redox-triggered interfacial reconfiguration.

Integrating metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) into polymerized high internal phase emulsions (PolyHIPEs) significantly increases the specific surface area and enhances functionalities such as adsorption and catalytic capabilities. However, most existing MOF@PolyHIPE composites face challenges, such as poor water resistance, low mechanical strength, and complex synthesis processes. Herein, we present a one-step water-in-oil (W/O) high internal phase emulsion (HIPE) strategy to fabricate hierarchical porous ZnO@ZIF-8@PolyHIPE composites with tunable micro/macropores and uniformly distributed ZIF-8.

Purifying surfactant-stabilized oily wastewater remains significant challenge, as conventional demulsifiers frequently fail to disrupt complex emulsions stabilized by multiple surfactant types. Herein, we developed an innovative molecular engineering strategy that constructs phytic acid-crosslinked β-cyclodextrin (PA-cl-β-CD) networks on sisal fibers (SFs) through a facile one-step process, creating an eco-friendly separation material (SFs@PA-cl-β-CD) with dynamically tunable surface wettability and interfacial properties. This biomass-based material exhibits remarkable versatility, achieving universal high separation efficiency (>99 %) for diverse oil-in-water emulsions regardless of surfactant types (cationic, anionic, or nonionic) through molecularly programmable surface wettability control.
