Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Novel materials have formed the intriguing basis for various areas to have great impact on our society, ranging from electronic, to bio-related, to healthcare applications. These materials are not only supportive for innovation in fundamental research but also, more importantly, for creating new generation of electronic devices or actuators, for biomedical supports and drug supports, and used as intelligent materials. In recent years, China has witnessed a boom in materials research, from materials chemistry to material properties and material functions. This Special Issue is designed to gather scientific papers on materials chemistry in China, focusing on featured progress in biomaterials, hydrogels, supramolecular materials, electronic materials, and polymer composites. New chemical reactions or methodologies for materials chemistry, new concepts for fabricating materials with intriguing properties and functions, and morphology control in materials chemistry can be discussed. Studies on the relationship between molecular structures and material properties are welcome for submission. New concepts for materials chemistry are also highly welcome.

This Special Issue continuously focuses on the new frontiers of materials chemistry in China. It is devoted to reporting on either theoretical or experimental studies on synthesis, properties, characterization, and applications of various materials. We invite researchers to contribute original articles and reviews.

Molecular imprinting technology is widely used for the specific identification of compounds, but the selective recognition mechanisms of the same compounds still need to be further studied. Based on differences in hydrogen bond size and orientation, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were designed to adsorb flavonols with the same parent core and different hydroxyl groups. A surface-imprinted material was designed with silicon dioxide as the carrier, myricetin as the template molecule, and methacrylic acid (MAA) as the functional monomer. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area (BET) analyses, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and other characterization experiments were carried out. The intrinsic mechanism of the MIPs was also explored. The MIPs showed good adsorption of myricetin and other flavonoids through hydrogen bonding and steric hindrance. The adsorption capacity was 3.12–9.04 mg/g, and the imprinting factor was 1.78–3.37. Flavonoids with different hydroxyl groups in different numbers and directions had different hydrogen bond strengths with functional monomers. R2, R4, and R1 on 2-phenylchromogenone had stronger electronegativity, and the hydroxyl group was also more likely to form and have stronger hydrogen bonds. The hydroxyl negativity and the degree of steric hindrance of flavonoids played a major role in the recognition of molecularly imprinted materials. This study is of great significance for the synthesis of and selection of templates for analogous molecular imprinting materials. Full article
