The physical characteristics of an RDW with injection velocity of 500 m/s are analyzed to investigate the physical mechanisms involved. We find that with increasing injection velocity, the detonation wave gradually changes from perpendicular to the head wall to parallel to the head wall. When the injection velocity exceeds the Chapman-Jouguet velocity VCJ (about 1984 m/s), the detonation wave changes orientation to become perpendicular to the fuel injection direction, and the rotating mode changes accordingly to a standing mode. Finally, the plane detonation characteristic triple-wave structures can be found from the standing mode.展开更多

FOF-1 is further applied to construct a polycatenane framework FOF-pc-1 through the quantitative cucurbit[7]uril encapsulation for the diphenylbipyridinium subunits of the framework by making use of the dynamic nature of the hydrazone bond in water.

Polycatenation is revealed to enhance the stability of the dynamic frameworks in water, whereas depolycatenation can be reached for both FOF-pc-1 and rc-FOF-pc-1 by using a ferrocene guest to form a more stable complex with CB[7].展开更多

Herein we report a strategy of dynamic covalent chemistry(DCC) controlled AIE luminogens for the regulation of multicolor emission in reversible covalent polymer networks. Tetraphenylethene derived ring-chain tautomers were prepared, and the emission was readily controlled through multimode, such as changing the solvent, adding the base, and dynamic covalent reactions with amines. Moreover, the construction of dynamic covalent cross-linked luminescent hydrogels with tunable fluorescent, self-healing, and mechanical properties, was realized. The combination of AIE and aggregation-caused quenching(ACQ) fluorophores in the polymer network further enabled the realization of a multicolor modulator, including white emission, in both solution and gel states. The strategies and results presented should find utility in dynamic assemblies, polymer networks, chemical sensing, and responsive materials.展开更多

Here we present an unprecedented gas-bridging strategy that allows to use gas to direct polymer self-assembly in continuous and tunable manners. Such system comprises a partner of frustrated Lewis polymers with bulky Lewis acid and base groups. They can together “breathe in” external gases to form gas-bridged structures between the two complementary moieties, which drive their mutual complexation and assemble into polymer nanoparticles of diverse geometries and dimensionalities. This strategy is applicable to a broad family of gas substances including but not limited to carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and even olefins;moreover, tailoring gas types and levels can dictate distinct assembling evolutionary pathways and deformable behaviors among spherical, fibrous, polymersomal, tubesomal and cubosomal morphologies. We also discover that the gas-based bonding chemistry is the mechanistic basis underlying the phase transitional control and phase window regulation. This will open a new direction of making bespoke polymer nanostructures with gas.展开更多

With the well-defined and ordered structures, COFs express big potential in mass transport, storage/separation and energy conversion applications. From the perspective of both theory and application,the construction of crystalline COFs with high quality and variety is highly worth to be devoted to. To give insight into the crystalline process of COFs and deeply understand the factors of COFs crystallization,this review was concentrated on the recent progress in construction of crystalline COFs. Accordingly, the types and crystallization process of COFs were summarized firstly. And then the factors on crystallinity and the measures for improving the crystallinity of COFs were classified and discussed in detail. Finally,the perspectives for the development of COFs in further was given at the end of this review.展开更多

文摘Hydrogels are three-dimensional platforms that serve as substitutes for native extracellular matrix.These materials are starting to play important roles in regenerative medicine because of their similarities to native matrix in water content and flexibility.It would be very advantagoues for researchers to be able to regulate cell behavior and fate with specific hydrogels that have tunable mechanical properties as biophysical cues.Recent developments in dynamic chemistry have yielded designs of adaptable hydrogels that mimic dynamic nature of extracellular matrix.The current review provides a comprehensive overview for adaptable hydrogel in regenerative medicine as follows.First,we outline strategies to design adaptable hydrogel network with reversible linkages according to previous findings in supramolecular chemistry and dynamic covalent chemistry.Next,we describe the mechanism of dynamic mechanical microenvironment influence cell behaviors and fate,including how stress relaxation influences on cell behavior and how mechanosignals regulate matrix remodeling.Finally,we highlight techniques such as bioprinting which utilize adaptable hydrogel in regenerative medicine.We conclude by discussing the limitations and challenges for adaptable hydrogel,and we present perspectives for future studies.

文摘The quest for a general and facile way to regulate polymer self-assembled nanostructures with low-to high-order ergodicity is an eternal theme in soft nanoparticle fabrication. Here we present an unprecedented gas-bridging strategy that allows to use gas to direct polymer self-assembly in continuous and tunable manners. Such system comprises a partner of frustrated Lewis polymers with bulky Lewis acid and base groups. They can together “breathe in” external gases to form gas-bridged structures between the two complementary moieties, which drive their mutual complexation and assemble into polymer nanoparticles of diverse geometries and dimensionalities. This strategy is applicable to a broad family of gas substances including but not limited to carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and even olefins;moreover, tailoring gas types and levels can dictate distinct assembling evolutionary pathways and deformable behaviors among spherical, fibrous, polymersomal, tubesomal and cubosomal morphologies. We also discover that the gas-based bonding chemistry is the mechanistic basis underlying the phase transitional control and phase window regulation. This will open a new direction of making bespoke polymer nanostructures with gas.

文摘Organic fluorophores play essential roles in both academic and applied fields.Most of the fluorescent molecules can be divided into aggregation-caused quenching(ACQ)and aggregation-induced emission(AIE)types based on the diverse emission properties in solution and aggregated states.Currently,a large part of studies focuses on the ACQ-to-AIE one-way transformation and the complex synthesis of chemical bonds is inevitable in all existing methods.To maximize the advantages of ACQ and AIE types fluorophores and avoid complex chemosynthesis,we propose a facile strategy first realizing the reversible ACQAIE transformation with the dynamic Diels-Alder(DA)reactions.Besides,the fluorescent platform can monitor DA reactions in microscale ultra-sensitively and quantitively.The dynamic covalent bonds can help to develop novel fluorophores creatively,and the reversible ACQ-AIE platform is expected to offer fresh insights into the dynamic covalent chemistry.

文摘Dynamic covalent chemistry has emerged recently to be a powerful tool to construct functional materials.This article reviews the progress in the research and development of dynamic covalent chemistry in gels assembled from small molecules.First dynamic covalent reactions used in gels are reviewed to understand the dynamic covalent bonding.Afterwards the catalogues of dynamic covalent gels are reviewed according to the nature of gelators and the interactions between gelators.Dynamic covalent bonding can be involved to form low molecular weight gelators.Low molecular weight molecules with multiple functional groups react to form dynamic covalent cross-linked polymers and act as gelators.Two catalogues of gels show different properties arising from their different structures.This review aims to illustrate the structure-property relationships of these dynamic covalent gels.

文摘Controlling dynamic molecular self-assembly to finely tune macroscopic properties offers chemical solutions to rational material design.Here we report that combining disulfide-mediated ring-opening polymerization withβ-sheet-like H-bonding self-assembly can drive a direct small-molecular assembly into a layered ionic network with precise architectural tunability and controllable functions as ion-transport membranes.This strategy enables a one-step evaporationinduced self-assembly from discrete small molecules to layered ionic networks with high crystallinity.The interlayer distances can be readily engineered with nanometer accuracy by varying the length of the oligopeptide side chain.The synergy of the layered structure and hydrophilic terminal groups facilitates the formation and ordering of interlayer water channels,endowing the resulting membranes with high efficiency in transporting ions.Moreover,the inherent dynamic nature of poly(disulfide)s allows chemical recycling to monomers under mild conditions.We foresee that the robust strategy of combining dynamic disulfide chemistry and noncovalent assembly can afford many opportunities in designing smart materials with unique functions and applications.

文摘Covalent organic frameworks(COFs) have been attracting growing concerns since the first report in2005. With the well-defined and ordered structures, COFs express big potential in mass transport, storage/separation and energy conversion applications. From the perspective of both theory and application,the construction of crystalline COFs with high quality and variety is highly worth to be devoted to. To give insight into the crystalline process of COFs and deeply understand the factors of COFs crystallization,this review was concentrated on the recent progress in construction of crystalline COFs. Accordingly, the types and crystallization process of COFs were summarized firstly. And then the factors on crystallinity and the measures for improving the crystallinity of COFs were classified and discussed in detail. Finally,the perspectives for the development of COFs in further was given at the end of this review.

文摘Thioredoxin reductase(TrxR)is an essential enzyme for regulating the redox balance in cells,promoting cell proliferation,and inhibiting cellular apoptosis.The biochemical pathway of TrxR metabolism involves a series of selenium-sulfur(Se-S)dynamic chemistry.Theoretically,nanomaterials with Se-S dynamic bonds could exhibit TrxRmimetic activities to tune TrxR activity,affecting cellular activities.Herein,we report the fabrication of Se-S-doped carbon dots(Se-S-CDs),synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method.The Se-S-CDs exhibited good stability and solubility in an aqueous solution,with a quantum yield of 13.27%.The doping of Se-S bonds endowed the Se-S-CDs with great capability of enhancing the TrxR activity,and consequently,a remarkable promotion of cell viability.The significance of Se-S bonds,as well as CDs’role as matrices,are discussed.Moreover,the Se-S-CDs could also revive the cells from the damage induced by oxidative stress.The abovementioned properties demonstrated the potential of the Se-S-CDs for cells and tissues culturing,solving the poor cell viability issue,which is desperately needed for organ transplantation and revitalization of prematurely aging cells,especially those exposed to oxidative stress.

文摘Covalent organic frameworks(COFs)are a class of organic porous polymers with high crystallinity,and their structures can be precisely tailored via topology design.Owing to the characteristics of permanent pores,periodic structures and rich building blocks,COFs have triggered tremendous attention in the past fifteen years and are extensively investigated in various fields.Crystallinity and stability are two crucial features for practical applications.In general,these two features are contradictory for COFs formed via dynamic covalent chemistry(DCC).High thermodynamic reversibility is usually required to attain exceptional crystallinity of COFs,often resulting in limited stability.The first two reported COFs are based on the boroxine and boronate ester linkages,which are unstable in water and even in humid conditions.Therefore,many researchers doubt the stability of COFs for real applications.Actually,in these years,various novel linkages have been developed for the construction of COFs,and numerous newly synthesized COFs are robust towards strong acid/base and even some of them can resist the attack of strong oxidizing and reducing agents.In this review,we focus on the linkage chemistry of the COFs in terms of crystallinity and stability,further extending it to the investigation in the mechanisms of the crystal growth and the overall regulation of the contradiction between stability and crystallinity.The strategies for improving the crystallinity,including selecting building units,introducing non-covalent interactions and slowing nucleation and growth rate,are described in the third section,while the methodologies for increasing the stability from the viewpoints of chemical modification and non-covalent interactions are summarized in the fourth section.Finally,the challenges and perspectives are presented.
