Visible light is an easily achievable and mild trigger for self-healing materials. By incorporating dynamic diselenide bonds into polyurethane, visible-light-induced self-healing materials can be fabricated. Besides mild visible light, the healing process can also be realized using directional laser irradiation, which makes the system a remotely controllable self-healing system.

Sun, Xiang and Chen finished Summer Internship
Three undergraduate students of our group, Wentian Xiang, Ruofan Chen and Chenxing Sun, went to different groups as exchange students in this summer vacation.
Xiang worked on “DNA-coated colloids (Fluorinated latex particles and gold nanoparticles)” in Oren Scherman’s group in Cambridge.
Chen and Sun went to UCSD and studied in Adah Almutairi’s and Liangfang Zhang’s group respectively. Their research projects were “pH- and ROS-responsive polymer” and “cell membrane coated nanofiber”.
This Program was supported by Tsinghua Xuetang Program.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a crucial role in cell signaling and redox homeostasis and are strongly related to metabolic activities. The increase of ROS concentration in organisms can result in several diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer. The concentration of ROS in biologically-relevant conditions is typically as low as around tens of μM to 100 μM H2O2, which makes it necessary to develop ultra-sensitive ROS-responsive systems. A general approach is reported here to fa...

A novel tellurium-containing polymer micelle system is reported to be responsive to 100 μM H2O2 and can undergo a series of morphological changes. The polymer micelles also respond to 2 Gy gamma radiation, which is the exact dosage a patient receives one day for clinical radiation therapy.
