... Highly ordered large pore SBA-15 silica functionalized with up to 16% aminopropyl groups, which gave high catalytic activity and selectivity toward flavanone synthesis through aldol condensation and subsequent intramolecular Michael addition of benzaldehyde and 2′-hydroxyacetophenone, was synthesized for the first time via co-condensation of tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and 3-aminopropyltriethox ...
... We report a novel poly (m‐phenylenevinylene)s and their copolymers based on renewable resource starting material 3‐pentadecylphenol to trace the Forster energy transfer process and molecular aggregation in the π‐conjugated polymers. The new bisylide monomer was polymerized with bisaldehyde (or benzaldehyde) under Wittig‐Horner reaction conditions to prepare poly [(4‐methoxy‐6‐pentadecyl‐1, 3‐pheny ...
... Well‐controlled cationic copolymerization of benzaldehyde with IBVE was achieved using ethanesulfonic acid as an initiator in conjunction with GaCl₃ in the presence of an added base. Copolymerization proceeded smoothly in toluene at −78 °C, yielding copolymers with very low polydispersity (Mw/Mₙ ∼ 1.1). Reactive conditions are critical for successful copolymerization: Every single parameter and in ...
... End-capped poly(phthalaldehyde) [PPA] is a well-studied metastable polymer that has attracted interest due to its ease of synthesis and rapid depolymerization. PPA is limited, however, in the type of macromolecular architectures accessible, as functionalizable phthalaldehyde derivatives are not commercially available and their synthesis is cumbersome. To this end, a general route to phthalaldehyde ...
... We report on the fabrication of dynamic covalent shell cross-linked (SCL) micelles with hydrophobic cores conjugated with photocaged chemotherapeutic drugs and coronas functionalized with ligands for tumor cell targeting. Two types of amphiphilic diblock copolymers, P(CL-g-CPT)-b-P(OEGMA-co-MAEBA)-CPT and PCL-b-P(OEGMA-co-MAEBA-co-FA), were synthesized via the combination of ring-opening copolymer ...
... We report a facile strategy to synthesize pH-sensitive amphiphilic oligo(ethylene glycol) (OEG)–doxorubicin (DOX) alternative conjugates. Poly[oligo(ethylene glycol) malicate] (POEGM) with numerous pendent hydroxyl groups was first synthesized by the direct polycondensation of oligo(ethylene glycol) (OEG) with malic acid under mild conditions. Then, benzaldehyde groups were introduced into the POE ...
... The epichlorohydrin-N,N-dimethyl-1,3-diaminopropane copolymer (PCA) has been introduced for the first time as a meso-template to successfully synthesize a hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolite (PCA-ZSM-5) with mesopores of 7–50 nm in diameter by using small-sized nanoblocks. However, when its structural analogue epichlorohydrin–dimethylamine polyamine (PCS) is used, the obtained ZSM-5 zeolite (PCS-ZSM-5) has ...
... To study the influence of self-assembled morphologies on drug delivery, four different nano-objects, spheres, nanorods, nanowires, and vesicles having aldehdye-based polymer as core, were successfully prepared via alcoholic RAFT dispersion polymerization of p-(methacryloxyethoxy)benzaldehyde (MAEBA) using poly((N,N′-dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) as a macro chain transfer agent (macro ...
... Mesoporous silicates functionalized with amino groups in the pore channels have been made by the co-condensation of tetraethoxyl siloxide (TEOS) with precursors of P–Si through a triblock copolymer-templated sol–gel process under acidic conditions. Poly(alkylene oxide) block copolymer (P123) was eluted by ethanol extraction and template molecules were removed by refluxing the materials in a mixtur ...
... We report a new design of photolabile acetal‐containing amphiphilic block copolymers. Acetals as protecting groups for carbonyls or diols can be hydrolyzed under acidic condition but very stable with respect to hydrolysis at pH > 7. When combining light‐capturing chromophores with acetals, the hydrolysis of acetals can be activated by light to design dual responsive acetal‐containing polymers. Usi ...
... A novel hydrogel (HA-az-F127 hydrogel) formed by reacting hydrazide modified hyaluronic acid (HAAD) and benzaldehyde terminated F127 triblock copolymers (BAF127) was developed in this work. The hydrogel with dynamic covalent chemically and micellar physically double-cross-linked networks exhibited rapid gelation and shear thinning properties. Besides, the hydrogel possessed functions, such as adap ...
... The benzaldehyde derivatives, such as 2,4‐dimethoxy benzaldehyde (PC1) and p‐anisaldehyde (PC2), were successfully used as photoredox catalysts (PCs) in combination with typical RAFT agent 4‐cyano‐4‐(phenylcarbonothioylthio)pentanoic acid (CTP) for the controlled photoinduced electron transfer RAFT polymerization (PET‐RAFT) of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and benzyl methacrylate (BnMA) at room temper ...

Abstract:
... We demonstrated the B(C₆F₅)₃-catalyzed group transfer polymerization (GTP) of acrylate monomers with hydrosilane by the in situ formation of silyl ketene acetals (SKAs) as the initiator by the B(C₆F₅)₃-catalyzed 1,4-hydrosilylation of acrylate monomers and hydrosilane. In addition, this new GTP method was clarified in terms of the polymerization mechanism, scope and limitation of the acrylate mono ...
... There has been a resurgence of research related to poly(phthalaldehyde) (PPHA) in the past several years because of the demonstration of long room-temperature lifetime and its low ceiling temperature facilitating the ability to rapidly depolymerize the polymer at ambient conditions. This rapid depolymerization upon triggering of PPHA mixtures makes them well suited for fabricating transient device ...

Abstract:
... Zwitterionic polymers are a class of polymers that acts as both Lewis base and Lewis acid in solution. These polymers not only have excellent properties of hydration, anti-bacterial adhesion, charge reversal and easy chemical modification, but also have characteristics of long-term circulation and suppress nonspecific protein adsorption in vivo. Here, we describe a novel folate-targeted and acid-l ...

Abstract:
... Carbon-based nanomaterials (CNMs) have attracted great attention in biomedical applications such as cancer imaging and therapy. CNMs, which are currently used in a wide range of applications, suffer from drawbacks of toxicity and low biocompatibility. Either noncovalent or covalent functionalization of CNMs with hydrophilic and biocompatible polymers which help to block hydrophobic interactivity b ...

Abstract:
... Stimuli-responsive polymers have received growing attention in the photochromic area of applied materials undoubtedly. It remains a great challenge to achieve multifunctional luminescence materials with a multitudinous stimuli response. Three color-convertible copolymers are obtained with the relative copolymerization of benzaldehyde, 2,5-dihydroxy terephthalate, spiropyran (SP), and acrylamide. T ...
... Many researchers have contributed to the assembly of zeolitic nanosheets and nanocrystallites into three-dimensional (3D) networks as it can remarkably improve the catalytic and/or adsorptive performances of zeolites. However, the applications of these synthesized materials are seriously limited because of low hydrothermal stability. A highly interesting strategy, but a great challenge, is the ali ...
