TL;DR: This review covered possible methods of targeting IONPs to the specific site of action either by direct local injection, enhanced permeability and retention of the tumor or diseased tissue, external magnetic field guidance, or receptor-mediated endocytosis based on over-expressed receptors on target cell.

TL;DR: Different modes of Dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) can be classified based on the dispersion technique or the density of the extractant as discussed by the authors.
51 citations
••
TL;DR: The dispersion process employed in DLLME dramatically increases the contact surface between the extractant and the sample, which enhances the extraction kinetics and efficiency and different factors affecting the extraction efficiency are discussed.
42 citations
••
TL;DR: By using solvents to terminate the dispersion step in DLLME, the centrifugation process is not necessary, which improves precision, increases throughput, decreases the risk of contamination through human intervention and minimizes the overall analysis time.

TL;DR: This Review considers several aspects of the most prominent sustainable organicsolvents in use today, ionic liquids, deep eutectic solvents, supercritical fluids, switchable solVents, liquid polymers, and renewable solvent, giving a more complete picture of the current status of sustainable solvent research and development.
Abstract: Sustainable solvents are a topic of growing interest in both the research community and the chemical industry due to a growing awareness of the impact of solvents on pollution, energy usage, and contributions to air quality and climate change. Solvent losses represent a major portion of organic pollution, and solvent removal represents a large proportion of process energy consumption. To counter these issues, a range of greener or more sustainable solvents have been proposed and developed over the past three decades. Much of the focus has been on the environmental credentials of the solvent itself, although how a substance is deployed is as important to sustainability as what it is made from. In this Review, we consider several aspects of the most prominent sustainable organic solvents in use today, ionic liquids, deep eutectic solvents, supercritical fluids, switchable solvents, liquid polymers, and renewable solvents. We examine not only the performance of each class of solvent within the context of the...

TL;DR: Specific focus is placed on the development of new macrocycle hosts since 2010, coupled with considerations of the underlying principles of supramolecular chemistry as well as analytes of interest and common luminophores.
Abstract: There is great need for stand-alone luminescence-based chemosensors that exemplify selectivity, sensitivity, and applicability and that overcome the challenges that arise from complex, real-world media. Discussed herein are recent developments toward these goals in the field of supramolecular luminescent chemosensors, including macrocycles, polymers, and nanomaterials. Specific focus is placed on the development of new macrocycle hosts since 2010, coupled with considerations of the underlying principles of supramolecular chemistry as well as analytes of interest and common luminophores. State-of-the-art developments in the fields of polymer and nanomaterial sensors are also examined, and some remaining unsolved challenges in the area of chemosensors are discussed.
