Abstract
Clean use of photons from light to activate chemical reactions offers many possibilities in different fields, from chemistry and biology to materials science and medicine. This review article describes the advances carried out in last decades toward the phototriggered synthesis of single-chain polymer nanoparticles (SCNPs) as soft nanomaterials with promising applications in enzyme-mimicking catalysis and nanomedicine, among other different uses. First, we summarize some different strategies developed to synthesize SCNPs based on photoactivated intrachain homocoupling, phototriggered intrachain heterocoupling and photogenerated collapse induced by an external cross-linker. Next, we comprehensively review the emergent topic of photoactivated multifolding applied to SCNP construction. Finally, we conclude by summarizing recent strategies towards phototriggered disassembly of SCNPs.

Abstract
A bottlebrush-colloid Janus nanoparticle (JNP) with a ball-and-stick structure is reported. A single poly(4-vinyl benzyl chloride) (PVBC) polymer chain was grafted onto the amine-capped Fe3O4@NH2 nanoparticle. pH-responsive 2-diethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DEAEMA) and water-soluble oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (OEGMA) were sequentially grown from the PVBC backbone by ATRP, forming a core-shell bottlebrush. The synthesized PVBC208-g-(PDEAEMA13-b-POEGMA8)-Fe3O4@NH2 JNPs are dispersible in water and can be manipulated by a magnet. The Fe3O4 NPs with exposed -NH2 groups facilitate accumulation at acidic sites. Hydrophobic dyes can be loaded within the PDEAEMA at pH ≥ 7.5, while they are released at pH values below 6.8. The composite JNPs are promising as a guided pH-responsive delivery vector toward acidic solid tumors.

Controllable Self-Assembly of Amphiphilic Tadpole-Shaped Polymer Single-Chain Nanoparticles Prepared through Intrachain Photo-cross-linking.

Abstract
We report the use of intramolecular cross-linking chemistry as a tool to control the self-assembly of amphiphilic diblock copolymers (di-BCPs). Two amphiphilic di-BCPs of poly( N, N'-dimethylacrylamide)- block-polystyrene (PDMA- b-PS) with photo-cross-linkable cinnamoyl groups in either hydrophobic or hydrophilic blocks were prepared using reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization. Intramolecular photo-cross-linking of cinnamoyl groups led to the formation of tadpole-shaped polymer single-chain nanoparticles (SCNPs) consisting of a self-collapsed block as the "head" and an un-cross-linked block as the "tail". When intramolecular photo-cross-linking was carried out in hydrophobic PS blocks, a clear morphological transition from branched cylindrical micelles (for the linear di-BCP) to completely spherical micelles at a dimerization degree of ∼63% was observed. A pattern of morphological transitions from cylindrical micelles to spherical micelles is observed through stepwise downsizing the length of cylindrical micelles when increasing the self-collapse degree of PS blocks, whereas, in case of photo-cross-linking carried out in hydrophilic PDMA blocks, the size of micelles showed a dramatic increase due to the shift of hydrophobic-to-hydrophilic balance. When the cross-linking degree of PDMA blocks reached >60%, tadpole-shaped SCNPs assembled into nonconventional aggregates with a nonsmooth surface. Our results illustrate the impact of chain topologies on the self-assembly outcomes of amphiphilic di-BCPs, which likely opens a door to control the micellar morphologies from just one parent linear di-BCP, rather than resynthesizing BPCs with different volume fractions of the two blocks.

Abstract
As a relatively new class of materials, single-chain polymer nanoparticles (SCNPs) just entered the field of (biomedical) applications, with recent advances in polymer science enabling the formation of bio-inspired nanosized architectures. Exclusive intramolecular collapse of individual polymer chains results in individual nanoparticles. With sizes an order of magnitude smaller than conventional polymer nanoparticles, SCNPs are in the size regime of many proteins and viruses (1-20 nm). Multifaceted syntheses and design strategies give access to a wide set of highly modular SCNP materials. This review describes how SCNPs have been rendered water-soluble and highlights ongoing research efforts towards biocompatible SCNPs with tunable properties for controlled drug delivery, targeted imaging and protein mimicry.

Abstract
Nanosized polymeric Janus particles (NPJPs) have important applications in a variety of theoretical and practical research fields. However, the methods that are versatile and can prepare NPJPs highly efficiently are very limited. Herein, we reported a two-step thermodynamically controlled preparation of NPJPs with a high yield using a diblock copolymer as the precursor. At the first step, A-b-B coassembled in the solution with a partner diblock copolymer C-b-B to form the mixed shell micelles (MSMs) with B core and A/C mixed shell. Then, intramicellarly covalently cross-linking the A block chains resulted in the complete phase separation of A and C chains in the mixed shell, leading to the direct conversion of the MSMs into NPJPs. The first step, diblock copolymer micellization, is known as a thermodynamically controlled process, and we also made the second step, conversion from MSMs to NPJPs, be thermodynamically controlled due to the application of covalent cross-linking. As the result, the conversion efficiency is close to 100%. Besides, it was further confirmed that the method can be applied to different systems and used to tune the Janus balance. Therefore, this conversion should be very significant for the fabrication and application of the NPJPs.

Abstract
We report the intramolecular double compaction of sequence-controlled linear macromolecules into "structured" random coils. These compartmentalized single-chain objects were prepared by performing successive cross-linking reactions in an orthogonal fashion. The foldable precursors were synthesized by sequence-controlled copolymerization of styrene with N-substituted maleimides (MIs), namely pentafluorophenyl 4-maleimidobenzoate (1) and TIPS-protected N-propargyl maleimide (2). These two functional MIs allow intramolecular cross-linking. The activated ester pentafluorophenyl moieties of 1 were reacted with ethylenediamine, whereas the deprotected alkyne functions of 2 were self-reacted by Eglinton coupling. The compaction of model copolymers containing only one cross-linkable zone (i.e., either 1 or 2) was first studied. (1)H NMR and SEC analysis indicated that these structures could be efficiently compacted into single-chain objects. Thus, more complex copolymers containing two individually addressable cross-linking zones were prepared and sequentially compacted. Detailed characterization of the folding process indicated that double-compaction occurred and that the formed single-chain particles contain distinct cross-linked subdomains.

Abstract
Single chain polymer nanoparticles (SCNPs) have been formed using polystyrenes decorated with pendent norbornenes and a bifunctional tetrazine crosslinker. Characterisation by size exclusion chromatography and (1)H NMR gives evidence for the formation of SCNPs by the tetrazine-norbornene reaction, whilst light scattering, neutron scattering, transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy show that discrete well-defined nanoparticles are formed and their size in solution calculated.

AbstractAbstract ZnO-poly(2-cinnamoyloxyethyl methacrylate) and ZnO-poly(2-cinnamoyloxyethyl methacrylate)-b-poly[(poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate] have been prepared by atom transfer polymerization initiated through a 2-bromoisobutyryl or bromoethyl group linked onto the ZnO nanoparticle surface (ZnO-BIBB, ZnO-BEI). The structure and morphology of the hybrids were characterized using Fourier transform infrared, proton nuclear magnetic resonance, fluorescence and UV spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron (TEM) and atomic force microscopy. The existence of nanoparticles with diameters varying between 40 and 100 nm was evident in the TEM images of the pure ZnO, ZnO-PCEMA-Br-2 and the diblock copolymer. Under an excitation of 340 nm, these materials exhibit a broad emission band at around 390 nm, which was associated with the presence of ZnO in the organic matrix. Graphical abstract

Abstract
Block copolymers can yield a diverse array of nanostructures. Their assembly structures are influenced by their inherent structures, and the wide variety of structures that can be prepared especially becomes apparent when one considers the number of routes available to prepare block copolymer assemblies. Some examples include self-assembly, directed assembly, coupling, as well as hierarchical assembly, which can yield assemblies having even higher structural order. These assembly routes can also be complemented by processing techniques such as selective crosslinking and etching, the former technique leading to permanent structures, the latter towards sculpted and the combination of the two towards permanent sculpted structures. The combination of these pathways provides extremely versatile routes towards an exciting variety of architectures. This review will attempt to highlight destinations reached by LIU Guojun and coworkers following these pathways.

Abstract
The synthesis of polymer nanoparticles (NPs) with controlled characteristics has become an appealing research topic lately. Nanomedicine, and especially drug delivery and imaging, are fields that require particles of a controlled size and with a tailored arrangement of functional groups. Intramolecular cross-linking or collapse of single polymer chains has emerged as an efficient alternative for the synthesis of well-defined polymer NPs. This technique allows the generation of 1.5-20 nm particles with a wide variety of chemical compositions and functionalities. This review begins by gathering synthetic strategies described in the literature and groups them into four main synthetic methods: homo-functional collapse, hetero-functional collapse, crosslinker-mediated collapse, and one-block collapse of diblock or triblock copolymers. Afterwards, the main characterization techniques and physical properties of single-chain polymer NPs (SCPNs) are exposed. Finally, several applications in nanomedicine are mentioned followed by some future perspectives.

Abstract
This Article reports the molecular imprinting of polymer single-chain particles that have a radius ∼3.7 nm. For this, the template L-phenylalanine anilide or L-ΦAA and a diblock copolymer PtBA-b-P(CEMA-r-CA) were used. Here, PtBA denotes poly(tert-butyl acrylate), and P(CEMA-r-CA) denotes a random block consisting of cinnamoyloxyethyl methacrylate (CEMA) and carboxyl-bearing (CA) units. In CHCl(3)/cyclohexane (CHX) with 64 vol % of CHX or at f(CHX) = 64%, a block-selective solvent for PtBA, PtBA-b-P(CEMA-r-CA) formed spherical micelles. The core consisted of the insoluble P(CEMA-r-CA) block and L-ΦAA, which complexed with the CA groups. Pumping slowly this micellar solution into stirred CHCl(3)/(CHX) at f(CHX) = 64% triggered micelle dissociation into single-chain micelles, which comprised presumably a solubilized PtBA tail and a collapsed P(CEMA-r-CA)/L-ΦAA head. Because the solvent reservoir was under constant UV irradiation, the photo-cross-linkable units in the P(CEMA-r-CA) head cross-linked, and the single-chain micelles were converted into cross-linked single-chain micelles or tadpoles. Synchronizing the micelle addition and photoreaction rates allowed the preparation, from this protocol, of essentially pure tadpoles at high final polymer concentrations. Imprinted tadpoles were procured after L-ΦAA was extracted from the tadpole heads. Under optimized conditions, the produced imprinted tadpoles had exceptionally high binding capacity and high selectivity for L-ΦAA. In addition, the rates of L-ΦAA release from and rebinding by the particles were high.

Abstract
We report on the facile preparation of chemically cross-linked microgels in mild conditions by using the reversed microemulsion technique. Sodium alginate has been modified by partially grafting phenol groups to the backbone, on the basis of which microgels have been prepared by the irradiation of visible light in the presence of catalyst Ru(II) complex at room temperature. The irradiation of visible light instead of UV light or gamma rays brings many advantages. The mean diameters of the microgels are 15-40 microm in aqueous solution and 5-15 microm in the dried state. Although the size of the microgel is sensitive to the environment change, it presents excellent size stability in a broad range that covers the physiological condition. The applications of this biocompatible and biodegradable microgel in biology are greatly anticipated.
