Abstract
The rational design of precisely controlled hierarchical chiral nanostructures from synthetic polymers garnered inspiration from sophisticated biological materials. Since chiral peptide motifs induce helix formation in macromolecules, herein we report the synthesis of a novel type of hybrid polymer consisting of a β-sheet forming a LVF [L = leucine, V = valine, and F = phenylalanine] tripeptide pendant polymethacrylate block and a poly[poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate] (PPEGMA) block. The designed block copolymer self-organized into helical superstructures with a left-handed twisting sense, as visualized by field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. This intriguing hierarchical self-assembly is driven by the minimalistic peptide motif that itself has a high propensity to adopt an antiparallel β-sheet conformation. We also report the generation of a diverse array of nanostructures, including spherical micelles, spindle micelles, rod-like micelles, vesicles, helical supramolecular fibers, and helical toroids via self-assembly of the designed block copolymer in tetrahydrofuran/water mixed solvents. To realize the observable helical superstructure, a twisted two-dimensional core-shell tape is proposed as a structure model in which the peptide segments form an antiparallel β-sheet with a polymer shell. The findings contribute to the advancement of a helical polymer or the superhelical self-assembly of polymers, paving the way for diverse applications in materials science and related fields.

Abstract
Polymeric micelle forming from self-assembly of amphiphilic macromolecules is one of the most potent drug delivery systems. Fatty acids, naturally occurring hydrophobic lipid components, can be considered as potential candidates for the fabrication of block copolymer micelles. However, examples of synthesis of responsive block copolymers using renewable fatty acids are scarce. Herein, we report the synthesis, characterization and testing of block copolymer micelles composed of a renewable fatty-acid-based hydrophobic block and thermoresponsive hydrophilic block for controlled drug delivery. The block copolymers of functionalized fatty acid and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) were prepared via consecutive microwave-assisted reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The block copolymers with variable hydrophobic block length self-assembled in aqueous media and formed spherical nanoparticles of ~30 nm with low critical micelle concentration (CMC). To demonstrate the proof-of-concept, carbamazepine (CBZ) was used as a hydrophobic model drug to evaluate the performance of these micelles as nanocarriers. The in vitro drug release tests were carried out below (25 °C) and above (37 °C) the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of the block copolymer. The drug release showed obvious temperature-triggered response and an accelerated drug release at 37 °C.

Abstract
Herein, we describe the design and synthesis of a new variety of bio-based hydrogel films using a Cu(I)-catalyzed photo-click reaction. These films exhibited thermal-triggered swelling-deswelling and were constructed by crosslinking a triazide derivative of glycerol ethoxylate and dialkyne structures derived from isosorbide, a well-known plant-based platform molecule. The success of the click reaction was corroborated through infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and the smooth surface of the obtained films was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The thermal characterization was carried out in terms of thermogravimetry (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), from which the decomposition onset and glass transition temperatures were determined, respectively. Additionally, mechanical properties of the samples were estimated by stress-strain experiments. Then, their swelling and deswelling properties were systematically examined in PBS buffer, revealing a thermoresponsive behavior that was successfully tested in the release of the anticancer drug doxorubicin. We also confirmed the non-cytotoxicity of these materials, which is a fundamental aspect for their potential use as drug carriers or tissue engineering matrices.

Abstract
In this work, core–shell supramolecular assembly polymeric nano-architectures containing hydrophilic and hydrophobic segments were synthesized via reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. Herein, polyethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMA), and stearic acid were used to synthesize the poly(PEGMA) homopolymer and stearyl ethyl methacrylate (SEMA), respectively. Then, PEGMA and SEMA were polymerized through controlled RAFT polymerization to obtain the final diblock copolymer, poly(PEGMA-co-SEMA) (BCP). Model anticancer drug, doxorubicin (DOX) was loaded on BCPs. Interestingly, efficient DOX release was observed at acidic pH, similar to the cancerous environment pH level. Significant cellular uptake of DOX loaded BCP50 (BCP50-DOX) was observed in MDA-MB-231 triple negative breast cancer cells and resulted in a 35 fold increase in anticancer activity against MDA MB-231 cells compared to free DOX. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging confirmed the apoptosis mediated cellular death. These core–shell supramolecular assembly polymeric nano-architectures may be an efficient anti-cancer drug delivery system in the future. In this work, core–shell supramolecular assembly polymeric nano-architectures containing hydrophilic and hydrophobic segments were synthesized via reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization.![]()

Abstract
Cloud point driven interaction and relaxation dynamics of aqueous solutions of amphiphilic thermoresponsive copolymers were explored through picosecond resolved and steady state fluorescence measurements employing hydrophilic (coumarin 343, C343) and hydrophobic (coumarin 153, C153) solute probes of comparable sizes. These thermoresponsive random copolymers, with tunable cloud point temperatures (Tcp's) between 298 and 323 K, were rationally designed first and then synthesized via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) copolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and poly(ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether methacrylate (PEGMA). Subsequently, copolymers were characterized by NMR spectroscopy and size exclusion chromatography (SEC). A balance between the hydrophilic (PEGMA) and the hydrophobic (MMA) content dictates the critical aggregation concentration (CAC), with CAC ∼ 2-14 mg/L for these copolymers in aqueous media. No abrupt changes in the steady state spectral features of both C153 and C343 in the aqueous solutions of these polymers near but below the cloud point temperatures were observed. Interestingly, spectral properties of C153 in these solutions show the impact of hydrophobic/hydrophilic interaction balance but not by those of C343. More specifically, C153 reported a blue shift (relative to that in neat water) and heterogeneity in its local environment. This suggested different locations for the hydrophilic (C343) and the hydrophobic (C153) probes. In addition, the excited state fluorescence lifetime (⟨τlife⟩) of C153 increased with the increase of hydrophobic (MMA) content in these copolymers. However, C343 reported no such variations, although fluorescence anisotropy decays for both solutes were significantly slowed down in these aqueous solutions compared to neat water. Anisotropy decays indicated bimodal time-dependent friction for these solutes in aqueous solutions of these copolymers but monomodal in neat water. A linear dependence of the average rotational relaxation rates (⟨krot⟩ = ⟨τrot⟩-1) of the type ⟨krot⟩ ∝ (|T - Tcp|/Tcp)γ with negative values for the exponent γ was observed for both solutes. No slowing down of the solute rotation with temperature approaching the Tcp was detected; rather, rotation became faster upon increasing the solution temperature, suggesting domination of the local friction.

Abstract
Detection of nitroaromatic explosives with high sensitivity and selectivity is extremely important for civilian and military safety. Here, we report the synthesis and multimodal sensing applications of an emissive alanine based dansyl tagged copolymer P(MMA-co-Dansyl-Ala-HEMA) (DCP), synthesized by RAFT copolymerization. The fluorescent co-polymer exhibited high sensitivity and selectivity towards conventional nitroaromatic explosives such as DNT, TNT and TNP in solution at lower range of µM level and also with saturated vapor of NACs. The quantum yield of the co-polymer was measured to be very high (Φf = 77%) which make it an ideal candidate for sensing in solution as well as in vapor phase. The fluorescence signal from DCP copolymer gets significantly quenched upon addition of aliquots of DNT, TNT, and TNP. The Stern-Volmer constant was calculated to be very high. The quenching mechanism was further established by fluorescence up-conversion, time-resolved fluorescence and steady state absorption spectroscopy. The energetics of sensing process was calculated by Density Functional Theory (DFT) studies. We also fabricate a thin film polymer sensor which was able to detect nitroaromatic vapors with high selectivity. This opens up the possibility of building a low-cost and light-weight nitroaromatic explosives sensor for field use.

Abstract
A well-defined amphiphilic phenylthiosemicarbazone-based block copolymer was successfully synthesized via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization, followed by postpolymerization modification. Poly( N,N-dimethylacrylamide) (pDMA) was synthesized via RAFT polymerization of N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMA). The resulting pDMA macrochain transfer agent was further extended using 3-vinylbenzaldehyde (VBA) to yield the poly[( N,N-dimethylacrylamide)- b-(3-vinylbenzaldehyde)] [p(DMA- b-VBA)] block copolymer. The aldehyde groups of p(DMA- b-VBA) were then made to react with 4-phenylthiosemicarbazide to yield the target block copolymer poly{ N,N-dimethylacrylamide- b-[ N-phenyl-2-(3-vinylbenzylidene)hydrazine carbothioamide]} [p(DMA- b-PVHC)]. p(DMA- b-PVHC) self-assembled in aqueous solution to yield polymeric micelles that comprise a pDMA block that forms a hydrophilic shell and a pPVHC block that forms a hydrophobic core. p(DMA- b-PVHC) micelles can detect Cu(II) ions which can be determined by a color change from colorless to yellow induced by the formation of coordination complexes between Cu(II) ions and the phenylthiosemicarbazone units of p(DMA- b-PVHC). As Cu(II) ions slowly penetrated the core of p(DMA- b-PVHC) micelles, these cores cross-linked with each other, which in turn resulted in the micelle particles swelling in water. Upon the addition of Cu(II) ions to a solution of p(DMA- b-PVHC) micelles encapsulating the hydrophobic model drug coumarin 102, this drug was released from the micelles in a sustained manner due to the gradual swelling of the cross-linked micelle cores caused by the slow penetration of Cu(II) ions.

Abstract
The increasing price of barrels of oil, global warming, and other environmental problems favor the use of renewable resources to replace the petroleum-based polymers used in various applications. Recently, fatty acids (FAs) and their derivatives have appeared among the most promising candidates to afford novel and innovative bio-based (co)polymers because of their ready availability, their low toxicity, and their high versatility. However, the current literature mostly focused on FA-based polymers prepared by condensation polymerization or oxypolymerization, while only a few works have been devoted to radical polymerization due to the low reactivity of FAs through radical process. Thus, the aim of this Review is to give an overview of (i) the most common synthetic pathways reported in the literature to provide suitable monomers from FAs and their derivatives for radical polymerization, (ii) the available radical processes to afford FA-based (co)polymers, and (iii) the different applications in which FA-based (co)polymers have been used since the past few years.

Abstract
Actin filament dynamics is important for proper cellular functions and is controlled by hundreds of actin binding proteins inside the cells. There are several natural and synthetic compounds that are able to bind actin and alter the actin filament dynamics. Since the actin dynamics changes due to nonspecific electrostatic interactions between negatively charged actin and positively charged proteins, and natural or synthetic compounds, herein we report the synthesis of poly(tert-butyl carbamate (Boc)-l-alanine methacryloyloxyethyl ester) (P(Boc-Ala-HEMA)) homopolymer in a controlled fashion by the reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. Subsequent deprotection of the Boc groups in the homopolymer under acidic conditions resulted in a positively charged polymer with primary amine moieties at the side chains. This cationic polymer (P(NH3 +-Ala-HEMA)), is able to nucleate actin in vitro. The cationic polymer and corresponding partially fluorescence tagged polymer are able to nucleate actin filament in vivo. These polymers are nontoxic to the cultured cells and also stabilize the filamentous actin in vitro.
