Abstract
Polypeptide coatings are a cornerstone in the field of surface modification due to their widespread biological potential. As their properties are dictated by their structural features, subsequent control thereof using unique fabrication strategies is important. Herein, we report a facile method of precisely creating densely crosslinked polypeptide films with unusually high random coil conformations through continuous assembly polymerization via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (CAP-RAFT). CAP-RAFT was fundamentally investigated using methacrylated poly- L -lysine (PLLMA) and methacrylated poly- L -glutamic acid (PLGMA). Careful technique refinement resulted in films up to 36.1 ± 1.1 nm thick which could be increased to 94.9 ± 8.2 nm after using this strategy multiple times. PLLMA and PLGMA films were found to have 30-50% random coil conformations. Degradation by enzymes present during wound healing reveals potential for applications in drug delivery and tissue engineering.

Abstract
An enzyme cascade system including glucose oxidase (GOx) and iron porphyrin (DhHP-6) is encapsulated in a metal-organic framework called zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) through one-step facile synthesis. The composite (GOx&DhHP-6@ZIF-8) is then used to initiate oxygen-tolerant reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer polymerization for different methacrylate monomers, such as 2-diethylaminoethyl methacrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, and poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (Mn = 500 g mol-1 ). The composite shows the robustness toward solvent and temperatures, all polymerizations using above monomers and catalyzing by GOx&DhHP-6@ZIF-8 exhibits high monomer conversion (>85%) and narrow molar mass dispersity (<1.3). Besides, acrylic and acrylamide monomers such as 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate and N,N-dimethylacrylamide are also carried to demonstrate the broad applicability. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance characterization and chain extension experiments confirm the retaining end groups of the resultant polymers, which is a significant feature of living polymerization. More importantly, the process of recycling the composite through a centrifuge is simplistic, and the composite still maintains similar activity compared to the original composites after five times. This low-cost and easily separated composite catalyst represents a versatile strategy to synthesize well-defined functional polymers suitable for industrial-scale production.

Abstract
Microbes employ a remarkably intricate electron transport system to extract energy from the environment. The respiratory cascade of bacteria culminates in the terminal transfer of electrons onto higher redox potential acceptors in the extracellular space. This general and inducible mechanism of electron efflux during normal bacterial proliferation leads to a characteristic fall in bulk redox potential (Eh), the degree of which is dependent on growth phase, the microbial taxa, and their physiology. Here, we show that the general reducing power of bacteria can be subverted to induce the abiotic production of a carbon-centered radical species for targeted bioorthogonal molecular synthesis. Using two species, Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium as model microbes, a common redox active aryldiazonium salt is employed to intervene in the terminal respiratory electron flow, affording radical production that is mediated by native redox-active molecular shuttles and active bacterial metabolism. The aryl radicals are harnessed to initiate and sustain a bioorthogonal controlled radical polymerization via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (BacRAFT), yielding a synthetic extracellular matrix of "living" vinyl polymers with predetermined molecular weight and low dispersity. The ability to interface the ubiquitous reducing power of bacteria into synthetic materials design offers a new means for creating engineered living materials with promising adaptive and self-regenerative capabilities.

Abstract
The development of advanced materials based on well-defined polymeric architectures is proving to be a highly prosperous research direction across both industry and academia. Controlled radical polymerization techniques are receiving unprecedented attention, with reversible-deactivation chain growth procedures now routinely leveraged to prepare exquisitely precise polymer products. Reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization is a powerful protocol within this domain, where the unique chemistry of thiocarbonylthio (TCT) compounds can be harnessed to control radical chain growth of vinyl polymers. With the intense recent focus on RAFT, new strategies for initiation and external control have emerged that are paving the way for preparing well-defined polymers for demanding applications. In this work, the cutting-edge innovations in RAFT that are opening up this technique to a broader suite of materials researchers are explored. Emerging strategies for activating TCTs are surveyed, which are providing access into traditionally challenging environments for reversible-deactivation radical polymerization. The latest advances and future perspectives in applying RAFT-derived polymers are also shared, with the goal to convey the rich potential of RAFT for an ever-expanding range of high-performance applications.
