Here we discuss the influence of two different cations on the emissive properties of the highly emissive [Eu(fod)4]− anion. The studied Eu(III) salts were [C16Pyr][Eu(fod)4] (1), and the previously reported [Chol][Eu(fod)4]. C16Pyr stands for N-cetylpyridinium, Chol for cholinium and fod for 1,1,1,2,2,3,3-heptafluoro-7,7-dimethyloctane-4,6-dionate. 1 is classified as ionic liquid, with melting point close to 60 °C, and presented a luminescence quantum yield of (ϕ) 100%. Ultrabright emissive photopolymers were obtained for the first time using polysulfone as the host matrix. The films were prepared with incorporation of 10% (w/w) of 1 and [Chol][Eu(fod)4] in the polymeric matrix, which improved its thermal stability. Additionally, the luminescence of CholEu(fod)4/PSU presented a strong temperature dependence with a ratiometric thermal behavior.

Xylan-rich Hemicelluloses (XH) isolated from wheat straw were converted to functional biopolymers by modification using succinic anhydride (SA) as reactant without catalyst in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([BMIM]Cl) ionic liquid. The reaction was performed under various conditions such as different temperatures, different times, and the different amounts of SA, and the effect of reaction factors on the degree substitution (DS) of products were discussed. The product had the maximum DS of 1.80. The structure of modified hemicellulosic derivatives (MD) was actually confirmed by13C NMR spectroscopy. The thermal behavior of MD was monitored by means of thermogravimetry (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA), and the thermal stability of MD was lower than XH.

The structural damage of molecules irradiated by electrons is generally considered to occur in two steps. The direct result of inelastic scattering events is the disruption of covalent bonds. Following changes in bond structure, movement of the constituent atoms produces permanent distortions of the molecules. Since at least the second step should show a strong temperature dependence, it was to be expected that cooling a specimen should extend its lifetime in the electron beam. This result has been found in a large number of experiments, but the degree to which cooling the specimen enhances its resistance to radiation damage has been found to vary widely with specimen types.

Understanding the miscibility behavior of ionic liquid (IL) / monomer, IL / polymer and IL / nanoparticle mixtures is critical for the use of ILs as green solvents in polymerization processes, and to rationalize recent observations concerning the superior solubility of some proteins in ILs when compared to standard solvents. In this work, the most relevant results obtained in terms of a three-component Flory-Huggins theory concerning the “Extra Solvent Power, ESP” of ILs when compared to traditional non-ionic solvents for monomeric solutes (case I), linear polymers (case II) and globular nanoparticles (case III) are presented. Moreover, useful ESP maps are drawn for the first time for IL mixtures corresponding to case I, II and III. Finally, a potential pathway to improve the miscibility of non-ionic polymers in ILs is also proposed.

The development of natural biomass materials with excellent properties is an attractive way to improve the application range of natural polysaccharides. Bagasse Xylan (BX) is a natural polysaccharide with various biological activities, such as antitumor, antioxidant, etc. Its physic-chemical and biological properties can be improved by functionalization. For this purpose, a novel glycidyl metharcylate/phytic acid based on a BX composite derivative was synthesized by a free radical polymerization technique with glycidyl metharcylate (GMA; GMABX) and further esterification with phytic acid (PA; GMABX-PA) in ionic liquid. The effects of the reaction conditions (i.e., temperature, time, initiator concentration, catalyst concentration, GMA concentration, PA concentration, mass of ionic liquid) on grafting rate(G), conversion rate(C) and degree of substitution(DS) are discussed. The structure of the composite material structure was confirmed by FTIR, 1H NMR and XRD. SEM confirmed the particle morphology of the composite derivative. The thermal stability of GMABX-PA was determined by TG-DTG. Molecular docking was further performed to study the combination mode of the GMABX-PA into the active site of two lung cancer proteins (5XNV, 2EB2) and a blood cancer protein (2M6N). In addition, tumor cell proliferation inhibition assays for BX, GMABX-PA were carried out using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetraz -olium bromide (MTT) method. The results showed that various reaction conditions exhibited favorable gradient curves, and that a maximum G of 56% for the graft copolymerization and a maximum DS of 0.267 can be achieved. The thermal stability was significantly improved, as demonstrated by the fact that there was still 60% residual at 800 °C. The molecular docking software generated satisfactory results with regard to the evaluated binding energy and combining sites. The inhibition ratio of GMABX-PA on NCI-H460 (lung cancer cells) reached 29.68% ± 4.45%, which is five times higher than that of BX. Therefore, the material was shown to be a potential candidate for biomedical applications as well as for use as a heat resistant material.
