Near-Infrared-Detached Adhesion Enabled by Upconverting Nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: Achieving efficient and biocompatible detachment between adhered wet materials (i.e., tissues and hydrogels) is a major challenge. Recently, photodetachable topological adhesion has shown great promise as a strategy for conquering this hurdle. However, this photodetachment was triggered by UV light with poor biocompatibility and penetration capacity. This study describes near-infrared (NIR) light-detached topological adhesion based on polyacrylic acid coated upconverting nanoparticles (UCNP@PAA) and a photodetachable adhesive (termed Cell-Fe). Cell-Fe is a coordinated topological adhesive consisting of carboxymethylcellulose and Fe³⁺ that can be photodecomposed by UV light. To prepare a substrate for NIR-detached topological adhesion, UCNP@PAA and Cell-Fe were mixed and brushed on the surface of the model adherent. The UCNP@PAA can harvest NIR light and convert it into UV light, triggering the decomposition of the Cell-Fe and inducing the detachment. This NIR-detached topological adhesion is also feasible in deep tissue because of the ability of NIR light to penetrate tissue.

Project description:Recently, the functionalization of nanoparticles, either within themselves or on the outer surface and its application in medicine, turned out to be the ultimate goal of nanotechnology. By providing these nanoparticles with chemical functional groups, one can force the nanoparticles to target the markers of the particular diseases or to measure the quantity and distribution of various intracellular species. In this paper, we report our development of a pH-responsive nanocomposite based on lanthanide-doped upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs). Through multiphoton absorption and energy migration between spatially separated Nd3+, Yb3+, and Tm3+ in a three-layered NaYF4 host coated with FITC (fluorescein-5-isothiocyanate), this nanocomposite can measure the pH with high sensitivity. The fundamental acidity measurement is based on the pH-dependent equilibrium of the bright and dark states of FITC. The tremendous advantages of this system, regarding the pH measurement, come from the fact that the versatility of UCNP-imaging can fully be exploited. This includes the fact that (a) the optical wavelengths for the sensitization (980 nm and/or 808 nm) and the emission bands (UV, visible) are well separated, (b) the spectral overlap between FITC (absorption) and Tm3+ (emission) is substantially high, (c) there is no background signal due to the near-infrared laser, and (d) the signals are consistent regardless of the fluctuations by monitoring the ratio of blue band with respect to the unaffected self-reference (red and near-infrared bands). Moreover, the double shell structure is obviously superior to the core-shell structure in that it enhances the spectral separation between the sensitizer and the emitter in the upconversion process, inhibiting any unnecessary contamination in the spectra. Finally, it is noteworthy that Yb3+ plays crucial roles as a sensitizer at 980 nm excitation and a bridge above which 808 nm excitation migrates from Nd3+ to Tm3+ via the Yb3+ excited state.
