Abstract:
The co-existence of electrostatic attraction and repulsion between zwitterionic amphiphile and anionic polyoxometalate (POM) promotes the formation of aqueous inorganic-organic coassemblies. Injectable, luminescent supramolecular hydrogels have been fabricated by using this novel and versatile technique. Hydrogels with different characteristics can be flexibly manipulated by adjusting the molar ratios of compounds. Interestingly, a linear relationship between the luminescence intensity and temperature accompanying the sol-gel transition was observed. In addition, the emission properties of the hydrogels were sensitive to external acid and base gasses. Such multi-stimuli responsive luminescent hydrogels provide an attractive pathway to construct intelligent optical soft materials, especially for biological sensors for which stimuli responsiveness is necessary.

Microsoft Excel: Plotting Mean, SD, and SE
First, calculate the mean, SD, and SE of your data. The mean is obtained using the formula `=AVERAGE(range)`, while SD can be calculated with `=STDEV.P(range)` for a population or `=STDEV.S(range)` for a sample. SE is calculated as `=SD/SQRT(n)`, where `n` is the sample size.

Mean: The arithmetic average of all data points. It is calculated by adding all the values together and dividing by the number of values. The mean is sensitive to extreme values (outliers).
Median: The middle value when the data points are arranged in ascending or descending...
