Prof. Yapei Wang from Renmin University with his students visit Tsinghua University and had a joint group meeting with our group. After a table tennis game between Prof. Wang and Prof. Xu, Zhen Wang and Xinyue Zhang from Wang’s group and Shaobo Ji and Lu Wang in our group each gave a lecture about their recent work.

Coordination Responsive Tellurium-containing Multilayer Flm for Controlled Delivery

Wei Cao, Lu Wang and Huaping Xu Chem. Commun., 2015,  51, 5520-5522. A coordination-responsive tellurium containing film was fabricated for controlled release. The coordination chemistry between telluride molecules and cisplatin was utilized for the load of cisplatin, while competitive ligands for triggered release. This work could enrich the coordination responsive system and further tune the release kinetics of cisplatin.

Mimicking biological structured surfaces by phase separation micromolding

Jian Gao, Yiliu Liu, Huaping Xu, Zhiqiang Wang, and Xi Zhang Langmuir, 2009, 25, 4365-4369. In this letter, we present a very convenient and efficient technique of direct replication of biological structures via a two-step phase-separation micromolding process (PSμM). Our study has demonstrated that PSμM can be used to replicate the surface structure of a lotus leaf. On one hand, the micro/nanostructures of the lotus leaf are well replicated after a two-step PSμM. On the other hand, the replicated artificial lotus leaf shows good superhydrophobicity, similar to that of the natural lotus ...
