Abstract
Due to the increasing challenges posed by the growing immunity to poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), there is growing interest in innovative polymer-based materials as viable alternatives. In this study, the advantages of lipids and polymers are combined to allow efficient and rapid cytoplasmic drug delivery. Specifically, poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline) is modified with a cholesteryl hemisuccinate group as a lipid anchor (CHEMSPOx). The CHEMSPOx is additionally functionalized with a coumarin group (CHEMSPOx-coumarin). Both polymers self-assembled in water into vesicles of ≈100 nm and are successfully loaded with a hydrophobic model drug. The loaded vesicles reveal high cellular internalization across variant cell lines within 1 h at 37 °C as well as 4 °C, albeit to a lesser extent. A kinetic study confirms the fast internalization within 5 min after the sample's addition. Therefore, different internalization pathways are involved, e.g., active uptake but also nonenergy dependent mechanisms. CHEMSPOx and CHEMSPOx-coumarin further demonstrate excellent cyto-, hemo-, and membrane compatibility, as well as a membrane-protecting effect, which underlines their good safety profile for potential biological intravenous application. Overall, CHEMSPOx, as a lipopolyoxazoline, holds great potential for versatile biological applications such as fast and direct intracellular delivery or cellular lysis protection.

Abstract
Over the last decades, microwave heating has experienced a great development and reached various domains of application, especially in material processing. In the field of polymers, this unusual source of energy showed important advantages arising from the direct microwave/matter interaction. Indeed, microwave heating allows regio-, chemio-, and stereo-selectivity, faster chemical reactions, and higher yields even in solvent-free processes. Thus, this heating mode provides a good alternative to the conventional heating by reducing time and energy consumption, hence reducing the costs and ecological impact of polymer chemistry and processing. This review states some achievements in the use of microwaves as energy source during the synthesis and transformation of polymers. Both in-solution and free-solvent processes are described at different scales, with comparison between microwave and conventional heating.

Abstract
A series of amphiphilic photo-responsive heterografted copolymers have been successfully synthesized. The random copolymers were composed of a methacrylate backbone, with various compositions of hydrophilic oligomeric 2-methyl-2-oxazoline side chains (OMOx) and hydrophobic long alkyl chains terminated by a coumarin moiety (Cm). Using dynamic (DLS) and static light scattering (SLS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), their self-assembling behavior was studied in water using the nanoprecipitation method. Depending on the system, one, two or three particle size distributions co-exist in solution. However, DLS measurements showed that monomodal and slightly polydisperse self-assemblies were obtained with the more hydrophobic copolymers (i.e., 85% of hydrophobic monomers with a long alkyl chain terminated by a coumarin moiety (MCm) per molecule) with hydrodynamic diameters ranging from ca. 130 to 300 nm. Morphological information on these self-assembly structures was obtained using SLS: a Gaussian behavior has thus been evidenced. Finally, these heterografted copolymers were illuminated using UV light at λ = 350 nm inducing photo-crosslinking of the coumarin units. The influence of UV illumination on the thus-formed nanoparticles was investigated by carrying out complementarily DLS-measurements and UV spectroscopy.
