Mussel-inspired Fluoro-Polydopamine Functionalization of Titanium Dioxide Nanowires for Polymer Nanocomposites with Significantly Enhanced Energy Storage Capability.

ABSTRACT: High-dielectric-constant polymer nanocomposites are demonstrated to show great promise as energy storage materials. However, the large electrical mismatch and incompatibility between nanofillers and polymer matrix usually give rise to significantly reduced breakdown strength and weak energy storage capability. Therefore, rational selection and elaborate functionalization of nanofillers to optimize the performance of polymer nanocomposites are vital. Herein, inspired by adhesive proteins in mussels, a facile modification by fluoro-polydopamine is employed to reinforce the compatibility of TiO₂ nanowires in the fluoropolymer matrix. The loading of 2.5 vol % f-DOPA@TiO₂ NWs leads to an ultrahigh discharged energy density of 11.48?J cm^-3 at 530?MV m^-1, more than three times of commercial biaxial-oriented polypropylene (BOPP, 3.56?J cm^-3 at 600?MV m^-1). A gratifying high energy density of 9.12?J cm^-3 has also been obtained with nanofiller loading as high as 15 vol % at 360?MV m^-1, which is nearly double to that of pure P(VDF-HFP) (4.76?J cm^-3 at 360?MV m^-1). This splendid energy storage capability seems to rival or exceed most of previously reported nano-TiO₂ based nanocomposites. The methods presented here provide deep insights into the design of polymer nanocomposites for energy storage applications.

Project description:Most photothermal converting systems are not biodegradable, which bring the uneasiness when they are administered into human body due to the uncertainty of their fate. Hereby, we developed a mussel-inspired PLGA/polydopamine core-shell nanoparticle for cancer photothermal and chemotherapy. With the help of an anti-EGFR antibody, the nanoparticle could effectively enter head and neck cancer cells and convert near-infrared light to heat to trigger drug release from PLGA core for chemotherapy as well as ablate tumors by the elevated temperature. Due to the unique nanoparticle concentration dependent peak working-temperature nature, an overheating or overburn situation can be easily prevented. Since the nanoparticle was retained in the tumor tissue and subsequently released its payload inside the cancer cells, no any doxorubicin-associated side effects were detected. Thus, the developed mussel-inspired PLGA/polydopamine core-shell nanoparticle could be a safe and effective tool for the treatment of head and neck cancer. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE:The described EGFR targeted PLGA/polydopamine core-shell nanoparticle (PLGA/PD NP) is novel in the following aspects: Different from most photothermal converting nanomaterials, PLGA/PD NP is biodegradable, which eliminates the long-term safety concerns thwarting the clinical application of photothermal therapy. Different from most photothermal nanomaterials, upon NIR irradiation, PLGA/PD NP quickly heats its surrounding environment to a NP concentration dependent peak working temperature and uniquely keeps that temperature constant through the duration of light irradiation. Due to this unique property an overheating or overburn situation for the adjacent healthy tissue can be easily avoided. The PLGA/PD NP releases its payload through detaching PD shell under NIR laser irradiation. The EGFR-targeted doxorubicin-loaded PLGA/PD NP effectively eradicate head and neck tumor in vivo through the synergism of photothermal therapy and chemotherapy while not introducing doxorubicin associated cardiotoxicity.

Project description:Upon the osteoporotic condition, sluggish osteogenesis, excessive bone resorption, and chronic inflammation make the osseointegration of bioinert titanium (Ti) implants with surrounding bone tissues difficult, often lead to prosthesis loosening, bone collapse, and implant failure. In this study, we firstly designed clickable mussel-inspired peptides (DOPA-N3) and grafted them onto the surfaces of Ti materials through robust catechol-TiO2 coordinative interactions. Then, two dibenzylcyclooctyne (DBCO)-capped bioactive peptides RGD and BMP-2 bioactive domain (BMP-2) were clicked onto the DOPA-N3-coated Ti material surfaces via bio-orthogonal reaction. We characterized the surface morphology and biocompatibility of the Ti substrates and optimized the osteogenic capacity of Ti surfaces through adjusting the ideal ratios of BMP-2/RGD at 3:1. In vitro, the dual-functionalized Ti substrates exhibited excellent promotion on adhesion and osteogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and conspicuous immunopolarization-regulation to shift macrophages to alternative (M2) phenotypes and inhibit inflammation, as well as enhancement of osseointegration and mechanical stability in osteoporotic rats. In summary, our biomimetic surface modification strategy by bio-orthogonal reaction provided a convenient and feasible method to resolve the bioinertia and clinical complications of Ti-based implants, which was conducive to the long-term success of Ti implants, especially in the osteoporotic or inflammatory conditions. Graphical abstract Mussel-inspired adhesion and bio-orthogonal reactions are combined for surface modification of Ti-based implants with RGD peptide and BMP-2 peptide. Dual-functionalized Ti-based implants can enhance osteogenesis and osseointegration through promoting BMSCs adhesion and osteodifferentiation, as well as modulate macrophage polarization in the osteoporotic rats.Image 1 Highlight • A clickable mussel-inspired peptide and two DBCO-capped bioactive peptides for facile decoration of Ti prostheses via robust catechol/TiO2 coordinative interactions and click chemical reaction.• Dual functionalized Ti-based surface can improve cell anchoring and osteogenicitity by rationally adjusting the grafting ratio of BMP-2 and RGD peptides.• Dual functionalized Ti-based surface synergistically achieve M2 shifting and efficient inflammation inhibition for osseointegration.
