Abstract
Real-time sensing and monitoring of temperature are of great significance for assessing human health. The sensitivity and stability are inevitable issues for thermometers. In this study, a thermometer with the cylindrical thermochromic hydrogel was prepared for real-time visual monitoring of temperature, which had excellent temperature sensitivity, angle-independence axially, and environmental stability. The customization of their initial optical properties depended on the PMMA concentrations and the content of the hydrogel monomer. The glycerol introduced with solvent displacement formed hydrogen bonds with the hydrogel network, which stabilized their mechanical properties, and the reflection peak blue-shifted from 653 to 499 nm when tensile strain was 57.85%. At the same time, the environmental stability originated from the moisturizing properties of the glycerol, which enabled the hydrogel to reliably transmit the information on temperature into the air without losing moisture. The reflection peak of the cylindrical thermochromic hydrogel shifted from 657 to 455 nm when the temperature increased from 22 to 45 °C, which realized temperature visual monitoring in the full-color range. The temperature sensitivity of the glycerol─nonclose-packed photonic crystals remained stable for 1 month, which provided an optimal option for continuous visual temperature monitoring.

SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 22:s222410006. [PMID: 36560375 PMCID: PMC9787685 DOI: 10.3390/s222410006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2022] [Revised: 12/02/2022] [Accepted: 12/14/2022] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
The combination of non-specific deformable nanogels and plasmonic optical probes provides an innovative solution for specific sensing using a generalistic recognition layer. Soft polyacrylamide nanogels that lack specific selectivity but are characterized by responsive behavior, i.e., shrinking and swelling dependent on the surrounding environment, were grafted to a gold plasmonic D-shaped plastic optical fiber (POF) probe. The nanogel-POF cyclically challenged with water or alcoholic solutions optically reported the reversible solvent-to-phase transitions of the nanomaterial, embodying a primary optical switch. Additionally, the non-specific nanogel-POF interface exhibited more degrees of freedom through which specific sensing was enabled. The real-time monitoring of the refractive index variations due to the time-related volume-to-phase transition effects of the nanogels enabled us to determine the environment's characteristics and broadly classify solvents. Hence the nanogel-POF interface was a descriptor of mathematical functions for substance identification and classification processes. These results epitomize the concept of responsive non-specific nanomaterials to perform a multiparametric description of the environment, offering a specific set of features for the processing stage and particularly suitable for machine and deep learning. Thus, soft MathMaterial interfaces provide the ground to devise devices suitable for the next generation of smart intelligent sensing processes.

Abstract
In this study, we fabricate a new kind of ultrasensitive humidity-responsive photonic crystal (HPC) films based on emulsion polymerization and the open mill and bending-induced ordering technique (OM-BIOT) method, which is simple and scalable. The HPC film senses relative humidity (RH) from 9 to 98% for the polymer matrix swells up in high RH and shrinks in low RH, leading to a large reflectance shift (81 nm) and distinct color change. Based on the double-peak reflective spectra of the HPC film, we confirm the gradient swelling hypothesis and find that the thickness is another important factor for controlling the sensitivity and response rate of the HPC film. Except for static humidity, the HPC film can also respond to the dynamic humid flow of blowing and polar solvents, which broadens its application potential. This kind of HPC film shows a vivid structural color, and the humidity-responsive behavior is quick, distinct, energy-free, and reversible, having a great prospect for anticounterfeiting application.

Heterogeneous Thermochromic Hydrogel Film Based on Photonic Nanochains. NANOMATERIALS 2022; 12:nano12111867.

Abstract
The rapid and robust response to external stimulus with a large volume deformation is of huge importance for the practical application of thermo-responsive photonic crystal film (TRPCF) in actuators, colorimetric sensors, and other color-related fields. Generally, decreasing the size of thermo-responsive photonic crystals and introducing micropores are considered to be two effective approaches to improve their responsiveness. However, they usually result in a poor mechanical property, which leads to optical instability. To solve these problems, a heterogeneous thermo-responsive photonic crystal film was developed here by integrating a thermosensitive hydrogel matrix poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-N-methylolacrylamide) (P(NIPAM-co-NHMA)) with high-modulus, but non-thermosensitive poly(acrylic acid -co-2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (P(AA-co-HEMA)) hydrogel-based photonic nanochains (PNCs). The as-obtained TRPCF based on PNCs (TRPCF-PNC) well combined the rapid response and improved the mechanical property. Typically, it can complete a response within 12 s from 26 to 44 °C, which was accompanied by a larger deformation of the matrix than that of the PNCs. The unique rapid thermochromic mechanism of the TRPCF-PNC is revealed here. Furthermore, it exhibits a high tensible property along the PNC-orientation direction and excellent optical stability. The response time of the TRPCF-PNC can conveniently modulate by changing the cross-linking degree of the PNCs or the content of the thermosensitive component in the matrix. The heterogeneous TRPCF-PNC is believed to have potential applications in artificial muscle and quick-response actuation devices.

Abstract
Herein, crack-free photonic crystal templates with enhanced color contrast were first demonstrated by the coassembly of polystyrene (PS) microspheres and graphene oxide (GO). Then, photonic crystal hydrogels (PCHs) with quick responses to temperature and alcohol solution concentration changes were fabricated by photopolymerization of monomers in the gaps of the self-assembled colloidal crystal templates. The structural color of the PCHs changed from yellow to blue within 120 s as the temperature rose from 25 to 40 °C, whereas upon a decrease in temperature from 40 to 25 °C, the structural color changed from blue to yellow. The structural color of the PCHs also shows an obvious response with the concentration of alcohol solution ranging from 40 to 100 wt %. The quick responses of the PCHs' structural color to changes in temperature and alcohol solution concentration are attributed to the temperature sensitivity of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) and preferential adsorption and swelling of the alcohol solution for the polymer chains. Furthermore, moxifloxacin (Mox) was loaded into PCHs by hydrogel swelling and exhibited sustained released by increasing the temperature. The sustained release process was facilely monitored by observing the corresponding color changes in real time. The rapid and visible response offers the fabricated PCHs great potential application prospects in the semiquantitative analysis of alcohol concentration and intelligent drug delivery.

Abstract
We herein describe a highly versatile platform approach for the in situ and real-time screening of microbial biocatalysts for enhanced production of bioproducts using photonic crystal hydrogels. This approach was demonstrated by preparing optically diffracting films based on polymerized N-isopropylacrylamide that contracted in the presence of alcohols and organic acids. The hydrogel films were prepared in a microwell plate format, which allows for high-throughput screening, and characterized optically using a microwell plate reader. While demonstrating the ability to detect a broad range of relevant alcohols and organic acids, we showed that the response of the films correlated strongly with the octanol-water partition coefficient (log P) of the analyte. Differences in the secretion of ethanol and succinic acid from strains of Zymomonas mobilis and Actinobacillus succinogenes, respectively, were further detected via optical characterization of the films. These differences, which in some cases were as low as ∼3 g/L, were confirmed by high-performance liquid chromatography, thereby demonstrating the sensitivity of this approach. Our findings highlight the potential utility of this multiplexed approach for the detection of small organic analytes in complex biological media, which overcomes a major challenge in conventional optical sensing methods.

Abstract
The synthesis of stimulus-responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-N-isopropylmethacrylamide)/chitosan core/shell nanohydrogels made by batch emulsion polymerization in the presence of chitosan (CS) micelles is reported. The ratio of monomers required to obtain copolymers with a volume phase transition temperature (TVPT) in the range of the temperatures observed in the human body in response to an infection (38 to 40 °C) was estimated with the Fox equation. The conversion was determined by gravimetry; mean particle size, size distribution, and thermal response were measured by quasi-elastic light scattering (QLS). The core/shell structure was confirmed by TEM, and FTIR showed the presence of N-isopropyl acrilamide (NIPA), N-isopropyl methacrylamide (NIPMA), and CS in the nanohydrogels. The nanohydrogels were loaded with the drug doxycycline hyclate, and their release kinetic profile was determined at pH = 2.0 and 7.4 at their volume phase transition temperatures (TVPT). A higher amount of drug was released at acidic pH. Some mathematical models described in the literature were used to fit the experimental drug release data.

Abstract
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have rapidly accumulated in the environment due to their widespread use prior to commercial discussion in the early 21st century, and their slow degradation has magnified concerns of their potential toxicity. Monitoring their distribution is, therefore, necessary to evaluate and control their impact on the health of exposed populations. This investigation evaluates the capability of a simple polymeric detection scheme for PFAS based on crosslinked, thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) hydrogels. Surveying swelling perturbations induced by several hydrotropes and comparable hydrocarbon analogs, tetraethylammonium perfluorooctane sulfonate (TPFOS) showed a significantly higher swelling ratio on a mass basis (65.5 ± 8.8 at 15°C) than any of the other analytes tested. Combining swelling with the fluorimetric response of a solvachromatic dye, nile red, revealed the fluorosurfactant to initiate observable aggregation (i.e., its critical aggregation concentration) at 0.05 mM and reach saturation (i.e., its charge neutralization concentration) at 0.5 mM. The fluorosurfactant was found to homogeneously distribute throughout the polymer matrix with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, marking the swelling response as a peculiar nexus of fluorinated interfacial positioning and delocalized electrostatic repulsion. Results from the current study hold promise for exploiting the physiochemical response of PNIPAM to assess TPFOS's concentration.

Abstract
Planar metal-insulator-metal (MIM) optical cavities are attractive for biochemical and environmental sensing applications, as they offer a cost-effective cavity platform with acceptable performances. However, localized detection and scope of expansion of applicable analytes are still challenging. Here, we report a stimuli-responsive color display board that can exhibit local spectral footprints, for locally applied heat and alcohol presence. A thermoresponsive, optically applicable, and patternable copolymer, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-r-glycidyl methacrylate), is synthesized and used with a photosensitive cross-linker to produce a responsive insulating layer. This layer is then sandwiched between two nanoporous silver membranes to yield a thermoresponsive MIM cavity. The resonant spectral peak is blue-shifted as the environmental temperature increases, and the dynamic range of the resonant peak is largely affected by the composition and structure of the cross-linker and the copolymer. The localized temperature increase of silk particles with gold nanoparticles by laser heating can be measured by reading the spectral shift. In addition, a free-standing color board can be transferred onto a curved biological tissue sample, allowing us to simultaneously read the temperature of the tissue sample and the concentration of ethanol. The stimuli-responsive MIM provides a new way to optically sense localized environmental temperature and ethanol concentration fluctuations.

Abstract
Symmetric continuously tunable three-dimensional (3D) liquid photonic crystals have been investigated using self-organized blue-phase liquid crystal films. The photonic band gap in the overall visible spectrum can be tuned continuously, reversibly, and rapidly as the applied electric field changes. After driven by the applied field, four-time enhancement of the reflectivity results in more vivid reflection colors. A lasing emission of tuning working wavelength has been demonstrated by using the dye-doped blue-phase liquid crystal film. With the advantages of fast response speed, no alignment layer, large-scale electrically shift of the photonic band gap, and macro optical isotropy, this self-assembled soft material has many potential applications in high-performance reflective full-color display, 3D tunable lasers, and nonlinear optics.

Abstract
In this work, we present a fast and efficient strategy for the preparation of responsive photonic hydrogels for aldehyde sensing by combining the self-assembly of monodisperse carbon-encapsulated Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) and in situ photopolymerization of polyacrylamide (PAM) hydrogels. The responsive photonic hydrogels exhibit structural color variation after being treated with formaldehyde aqueous solution, which can be attributed to the chemical reaction between the amide groups in the hydrogels and the formaldehyde. We have also shown that the photonic hydrogels can be used to determine the concentration of formaldehyde and to differentiate aldehydes through a facile reflection spectra shift and color change. This study provides a facile strategy for the visualized determination of aldehyde in aqueous solution.
