Description

Fluorescent nanoparticle with AIE characteristic, bionic nano composite hydrogel actuator, preparation method and application
Technical Field
The invention relates to a fluorescent nanoparticle with AIE (advanced Electron emission) characteristics, a bionic nano-composite hydrogel actuator, a preparation method and application, and belongs to the technical field of fluorescent nano-composite materials.
Background
The hydrogel driver is a novel intelligent material capable of generating reversible deformation or volume change to external stimuli (light, heat, chemistry, electricity and the like). As a class of soft and wet materials similar to biological tissues, the hydrogel driver has great potential application value in the fields of soft robots, artificial muscles, tissue engineering and the like. The addition of nanoparticles to hydrogel systems to induce asymmetric network structures is an effective method.
In order to realize the construction of an asymmetric hydrogel network, the distribution condition of nanoparticles in a high-molecular matrix is very important to be accurately regulated and controlled. However, conventional testing methods such as Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), etc. require complicated sample preparation processes such as crushing, cutting, vacuum drying, etc., which inevitably causes the internal structure of the material to be damaged, thereby causing information distortion, and especially when the material is a hydrogel, i.e., a "wet and soft" material, it becomes more difficult to observe the distribution of the nanoparticles. Moreover, the test window of the conventional test is small, and difficult to represent the structural information of the macroscopic material. Therefore, a testing method which is simple to operate, non-destructive and available in a wet state is needed to research the distribution information of the nanoparticles in the hydrogel system, and the rapid development of the hydrogel driver is promoted.
The fluorescence technology has the advantages of high resolution, no damage, good biocompatibility and the like, and is concerned by a lot in the fields of chemical and biological sensing, biological imaging, catalysis, new energy materials and the like. However, the conventional fluorescent dyes such as rhodamine B and fluorescein have high quantum yield in a solution state, and in a solid state and an Aggregation state, due to the close packing of molecules, the luminescence property is greatly reduced, even no luminescence occurs, that is, Aggregation induced Quenching (ACQ) occurs, which greatly limits the application of the fluorescence technology in the field of material science. Until 2001, the Aggregation-Induced Emission (AIE) phenomenon was discovered by Down's loyalist. The AIE molecules with highly twisted propeller-like conformation can effectively inhibit the intermolecular pi-pi stacking in an aggregation state, prevent the dissipation of excited state energy through a non-radiative decay channel, and emit light strongly in the aggregation state. In addition, AIE molecules are extremely sensitive to microenvironments according to the Restriction of Intramolecular Movement (RIM) mechanism, and have been successfully used in the study of various microenvironments. Therefore, if the AIE molecules are modified on the nanoparticles and are introduced into the hydrogel system, the visual research of the nanoparticles in the hydrogel system is hopeful to be realized, so that the relationship between the internal structure and the macroscopic property of the hydrogel is further explored, and the development of a hydrogel driver in a plurality of fields is promoted.

Example 1 design and Synthesis of fluorescent nanoparticles TPE-CNC
The method comprises the following steps of grafting TPE-pyo fluorescent molecules onto CNC through a click reaction to synthesize fluorescent nano TPE-CNC, as shown in FIG. 1a, specifically comprising the following steps:
(1) preparing a solution: 10-30mg of TPE-pyo fluorescent molecule (alkyne-TPE) is dissolved in 10-30mL of CH 2 Cl 2 Dispersing 0.1-0.4g Cellulose Nanocrystalline (CNC) in 10-90mL CH in solvent 2 Cl 2 Dissolving DMAP (4-dimethylaminopyridine) in CH by ultrasonic treatment for 10-40min 2 Cl 2 To obtain a solution of 20 mg/mL; wherein, the TPE-pyo fluorescent molecule and the CNC chemical structural formula are shown as follows:

(3) filtering the TPE-CNC product after the reaction is finished, and using a large amount of CH 2 Cl 2 Continuously washing until the filtrate has no fluorescence, vacuum drying at room temperature for 48h to obtain TPE-CNC fluorescent nanoparticles which emit strong yellow fluorescence in solid and water-dispersed systems, as shown in figure 1b, thin-layer chromatography (TLC) proves that the AIE molecules and the CNC nanoparticles are covalently linked, as shown in figure 1cAs shown, the fluorescence intensity of the aqueous dispersion of fluorescent nanoparticles was linearly related to the concentration, as shown in FIG. 1 d.
FIG. 2 shows the particle size change before and after CNC nanoparticle grafting, and the diameter of TPE-CNC is increased by 3nm compared with CNC, which is consistent with the calculation result of molecular theory.
Example 2 preparation of biomimetic nanocomposite hydrogel actuators
Introducing TPE-CNC fluorescent nanoparticles into a composite hydrogel system to prepare a biomimetic nanocomposite hydrogel actuator (TPE-CNC nanocomposite hydrogel fiber), comprising:
0.02-0.06g of TPE-CNC was dispersed in 2mL of H 2 And O, performing ultrasonic treatment for 3min, adding 0.1-0.3g N-isopropyl acrylamide (NIPAM), 0.001-0.004g N, N' -methylene bisacrylamide (Bis), 10-40 mu L of polyethylene glycol monoethyl ether methacrylate (PEGMEMA) and 2-6 mu L of photoinitiator DEAP, and stirring at room temperature in the dark for 10-60 min. And (3) pouring the solution into a fiber mold, and polymerizing for 10-60min by ultraviolet initiation to obtain the TPE-CNC nano composite hydrogel fiber. Fig. 3 shows that in the preparation process, the TPE-CNC is in different microenvironments, the fluorescence color and the luminescence intensity change, and the fluorescence color of the TPE-CNC is gradually changed from yellow to blue, and the luminescence intensity is continuously increased along with the system from water to the hydrogel precursor with higher viscosity and then to the hydrogel precursor after polymerization is completed.
Example 3 tracking of the dynamic motion and static distribution process of fluorescent nanoparticles during hydrogel preparation:
the TPE-CNC hydrogel precursor dispersion liquid is continuously scanned by a fluorescence spectrum detector (figure 4), the excitation wavelength is set to be 350-400nm, the scanning range is 400-800nm, and the slit is set to be 1 nm. The cuvette used was a 750 μ L microcuvette with an optical path of 2mm, and to ensure uniformity, the samples were mixed thoroughly before testing, testing was carried out at room temperature, and it was ensured that the fluorescence spectrometer and the samples were not disturbed. The testing time is more than or equal to 400min, the fluorescence intensity of the sample is firstly enhanced and then weakened along with the lapse of time, because the fluorescent nano particle TPE-CNC firstly generates aggregation among particles in a hydrogel dispersion system and then continuously generates sedimentation under the action of gravity, and meanwhile, the sedimentation of the particles reaches an equilibrium state under the combined action of Brownian motion and gravity, and the fluorescence intensity is not increased any more. Finally, the fluorescence intensity gradually increased in the direction of gravity, and the nanoparticles exhibited a gradient distribution, i.e., the concentration of nanoparticles gradually increased along the direction of gravity (fig. 5).
Example 4 monitoring the hydrogel formation process and observing the internal microstructure of the hydrogel:
the molding process of the nanocomposite hydrogel driver was monitored in real time by a fluorescence microscope (fig. 6a) of Nikon Eclipse Ni-U type, with a mercury lamp as excitation light source, 360nm wavelength, transmission mode. And a 365nm ultraviolet light source is arranged on the side of the objective table and is used for exciting the hydrogel precursor to generate free radical polymerization. And (3) observing the hydrogel polymerization process in real time by using CCD (charge coupled device) shooting, wherein the shooting time is longer than or equal to 30min, a 365nm ultraviolet light source is turned off and a 360nm mercury lamp light source is turned on during each shooting. As the polymerization process proceeds, the hydrogel and air interface continuously move to form an asymmetric interface shape. The distribution of fluorescent nanoparticles in the hydrogel was visualized by a confocal laser microscope (fig. 6b) of the type leia TCS SP5II, 405nm excitation, single channel. Before testing, the hydrogel is sliced, vertically cut into slices with the diameter less than or equal to 100 mu m along the radial direction of the fiber, soaked in deionized water, and kept in a hydrogel swelling state, so that the structure is not damaged. During testing, the sample is spread in a laser confocal culture dish and sealed, and the gradient distribution of the eccentric shaft of the fluorescent nanoparticles on the fiber section is observed. The same sample was freeze-dried and the hydrogel network structure was observed by SEM (fig. 6c, d), corresponding to the distribution of the nanoparticles, which are asymmetrically distributed to form a meniscus network structure.
Example 5 visualization of hydrogel actuator thermal stimulus responsive actuation process:
the hydrogel actuator thermal stimulus response actuation process was monitored visually by a homemade fluorescence imaging device (fig. 7) connected to a contact electronic thermometer ETS-D5 by an IKA hot plate HP 10, accurately controlled at 60 ℃, with an ultraviolet lamp fixed 10cm above the hot plate, and a canon EOS 80D imaging system fixed vertically 20cm above the hot plate. The hydrogel actuators were placed in deionized water for sufficient swelling for 48h before testing and fluorescence imaging was performed in a dark room. Turning on the ultraviolet lamp, turning on the camera, rapidly putting the sample into constant temperature water of 60 ℃, observing and recording the shape and fluorescence property change of the sample, and bending the hydrogel fiber to the side with strong fluorescence intensity (figure 7 b). The change of the internal micro-network structure in the hydrogel thermal stimulation response process was further monitored by fluorescence spectroscopy (fig. 8), which was equipped with a temperature control system, with the temperature increasing from 20 ℃ to 50 ℃ and scanning at 0.5 ℃ per liter. The decrease in fluorescence intensity before 32 ℃ (LCST) was observed with increasing temperature, indicating that the internal molecular chains of the hydrogel become hydrophobic from hydrophilic, begin to curl and coil, and the scattering effect increases; the fluorescence intensity begins to increase at 43 ℃, and the change rate is fastest at 49 ℃, which indicates that the gel collapses in an internal network and deforms at the moment, namely 49 ℃ is the deformation temperature of the hydrogel.
In conclusion, the invention is expected to promote the application of the fluorescence technology in the fields of artificial muscle, intelligent actuation and bionic nano composite materials.
