Compared to the separation of the same intermediates with weak anion exchange chromatography and size-exclusion chromatography the result obtained with HPHIC is the best It would be expected that HPHIC may be a strongly potential tool to separate intermediates of some proteins which cannot be, or cannot completely be refolded by HPHIC.展开更多

A Janus cluster of poly（4-vinylpyridine）-block-polystyrene （P4VP-b-PS） diblock copolymer is self-organized after absorption onto a silica patchy sphere via hydrogen bonding. Selective crosslinking of P4VP leads to the formation of robust cP4VP-PS Janus NPs. Within the cP4VP domain, functional species such as metals are preferentially grown by in situ reduction. Other thiol-capped polymers, for example, thiol-capped poly（N-isopropylacrylamide） （PNIPAM-SH）, can be conjugated onto the opposite side to form polymer/metal triple segmental Janus NPs. The hyperthermia effect ofAu NP of PNIPAM-Au@cP4VP-PS by near infrared （NIR） irradiation can trigger a fast transition from amphiphilic to hydrophobic of the Janus NPs at low surrounding temperature. De-stabilization of the emulsion is NIR triggered although the system temperature is below LCST （-32 ℃）.展开更多
