Abstract
Materials are the fundament of the physical world, whereas information and its exchange are the centerpieces of the digital world. Their fruitful synergy offers countless opportunities for realizing desired digital transformation processes in the physical world of materials. Yet, to date, a perfect connection between these worlds is missing. From the perspective, this can be achieved by overcoming the paradigm of considering materials as passive objects and turning them into perceptual, information-providing matter. This matter is capable of communicating associated digitally stored information, for example, its origin, fate, and material type as well as its intactness on demand. Herein, the concept of realizing perceptual, information-providing matter by integrating customizable (sub-)micrometer-sized communicating supraparticles (CSPs) is presented. They are assembled from individual nanoparticulate and/or (macro)molecular building blocks with spectrally differentiable signals that are either robust or stimuli-susceptible. Their combination yields functional signal characteristics that provide an identification signature and one or multiple stimuli-recorder features. This enables CSPs to communicate associated digital information on the tagged material and its encountered stimuli histories upon signal readout anywhere across its life cycle. Ultimately, CSPs link the materials and digital worlds with numerous use cases thereof, in particular fostering the transition into an age of sustainability.

Front Chem 2023; 11:1209264. [PMID: 37265591 PMCID: PMC10229811 DOI: 10.3389/fchem.2023.1209264] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2023] [Accepted: 05/08/2023] [Indexed: 06/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Lanthanide coordinating polymeric microparticles have witnessed increasing research interests during the past decades due to their versatile morphology and tunable fluorescent properties. Herein, we have synthesized an amidoximed block copolymer containing aromatic backbone and pendent amidoxime as well as carboxyl groups, which has been employed as the ligand to sensitize the intrinsic fluorescence emission of lanthanide ions of Tb3+ and Eu3+. Furthermore, the lanthanide coordinating polymeric microparticles showing tunable green and red emission fluorescence have been prepared via the emulsion confinement co-self-assembly of amidoximed polymeric ligands with Tb3+ and Eu3+. It is found that both the fluorescence emission and sizes of obtained fluorescent microparticles can be easily modulated in a wide range by tuning concentration of polymers and lanthanide ions, as well as emulsion evaporation temperature. Thanks to their tunable sizes (250-900 nm), fluorescence emission as well as presence of surface active functional groups, the present fluorescent microparticles would find potential applications in in-vitro detection, optical encoding and devices.

Abstract
Cyclic and polyphosphazenes are extremely interesting and versatile substrates characterized by the presence of -P=N- repeating units. The chlorine atoms on the P atoms in the starting materials can be easily substituted with a variety of organic substituents, thus giving rise to a huge number of new materials for industrial applications. Their properties can be designed considering the number of repetitive units and the nature of the substituent groups, opening up to a number of peculiar properties, including the ability to give rise to supramolecular arrangements. We focused our attention on the extensive scientific literature concerning their biomedical applications: as antimicrobial agents in drug delivery, as immunoadjuvants in tissue engineering, in innovative anticancer therapies, and treatments for cardiovascular diseases. The promising perspectives for their biomedical use rise from the opportunity to combine the benefits of the inorganic backbone and the wide variety of organic side groups that can lead to the formation of nanoparticles, polymersomes, or scaffolds for cell proliferation. In this review, some aspects of the preparation of phosphazene-based systems and their characterization, together with some of the most relevant chemical strategies to obtain biomaterials, have been described.

Abstract
A series of novel crosslinked polyphosphazene-aromatic ether organic-inorganic hybrid microspheres with different structures were prepared via precipitation polycondensation between hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene (HCCP) and bisphenol monomers. The bisphenol monomers have different numbers of -CF3 in the side group, which correspond to distinct oligomeric species-absorbing mechanisms. The wetting behavior of the microsphere surface was evaluated using a water contact angle (CA) measurement, which increased with the increase in the content of -CF3 in polyphosphazene. We also investigated the effects of HCCP concentration and ultrasonic power on the morphology of the microspheres.

Colorful Luminescent Magnetic Supraparticles: Expanding the Applicability, Information Capacity, and Security of Micrometer-Scaled Identification Taggants by Dual-Spectral Encoding. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2022; 18:e2107511. [PMID: 35146912 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202107511] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2021] [Revised: 01/10/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
(Sub)micrometer-scaled identification (ID) taggants enable direct identification of arbitrary goods, thereby opening up application fields based on the possibility of tracking, tracing, and anti-counterfeiting. Due to their small dimensions, these taggants can equip in principle even the smallest subcomponents or raw materials with information. To achieve the demanded applicability, the mostly used optically encoded ID taggants must be further improved. Here, micrometer-scaled supraparticles with spectrally encoded luminescent and magnetically encoded signal characteristics are reported. They are produced in a readily customizable bottom-up fabrication procedure that enables precise adjustment of luminescent and magnetic properties on multiple hierarchy levels. The incorporation of commonly used magnetic nanoparticles and fluorescent dyes, respectively, into polymer nanocomposite particles, establishes a convenient toolbox of magnetic and luminescent building blocks. The subsequent assembly of selected building blocks in the desired ratios into supraparticles grants for all the flexibility to freely adjust both signal characteristics. The obtained spectrally resolved visible luminescent and invisible magnetic ID signatures are complementary in nature, thus expanding applicability and information security compared to recently reported optical- or magnetic-encoded taggants. Additionally, the introduced ID taggant supraparticles can significantly enhance the coding capacity. Therefore, the introduced supraparticles are considered as next-generation ID taggants.
