Abstract
This Review focuses on the current research advances of the synthesis of various amphiphilic block copolymers (ABCs), such as conventional ABCs and newly-presented polyprodrug amphiphiles (PPAs), and the development of corresponding self-assemblies in selective solvents driven by the intermolecular interactions, like noncovalent hydrophobic interactions, π-π interactions, and hydrogen bonds, between ABCs or preformed small polymeric nanoparticles. The design of these assemblies is systematically introduced, and the diverse examples concerning the unique assembly structures along with the fast development of their exclusive properties and various applications in different fields were discussed. Possible perspectives on the existential challenges and glorious future were elucidated finally. We hope this review will provide a convenient way for readers to motivate more evolutional innovative concepts and methods to design next generation of novel polymeric nanoassemblies, and fill the gap between material design and practical applications.

Abstract
Antimicrobial materials are expected to be alternatives for antibiotics against multidrug-resistant bacteria. In this paper, non-spherical α-Fe2O3@Au/PDA core/shell nanoparticles with tunable shapes are synthesized by a one-step in situ oxidation-redox polymerization method toward near infrared light-responsive antibacterial therapy. The thickness and composition of the Au/PDA hybrid shell can be controlled by varying the concentration of HAuCl4 and the dopamine precursor. Owing to the wonderful photothermal characteristics originating from the Au/PDA shell, the spindle α-Fe2O3@Au/PDA core shell nanoparticles exhibit excellent photothermal sterilization effects against both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus at low concentrations. Meanwhile, the NIR photothermal induced bactericidal performance indicates that α-Fe2O3@Au/PDA hybrid particles with tunable non-spherical shapes possess unique controllable antibacterial effects. As a result, this finding provides a simple strategy for fabricating high performance photothermal antibacterial agents and the final products possess high potential in synergistic antimicrobial therapy.

Abstract
A novel cytosensor was constructed for the ultrasensitive detection and nondestructive release of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) by combining Au nanoparticles-loaded two-dimensional bimetallic PdMo (2D Au@PdMo) nanozymes and electrochemical reductive desorption. The 2D Au@PdMo nanozymes possessed high-efficiency peroxidase-like activity and were assembled with an aptamer composed of a thiol-modified epithelial specific cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) to strengthen CTCs adhesion. Moreover, the electrode surface was decorated with highly fractal Au nanostructures (HFAuNSs) composites due to the similarity in fractal nanostructure with the CTCs membrane to enhance the CTCs anchoring efficiency and release capability. The captured CTCs could be further efficiently dissociated and nondestructively released from the modified electrodes upon electrochemical reductive desorption. The designed cytosensor showed an excellent analytical performance, with a wide linear range from 2 to 1 × 105 cells mL-1 and low limit of detection (LOD) of 2 cells mL-1 (S/N = 3) at the working potential in the range -0.6 to 0.2 V. A satisfactory CTCs release reaching a range of 93.7-97.4% with acceptable RSD from 3.55 to 6.41% and good cell viability was obtained. Thus, the developed cytosensor might provide a potential alternative to perform CTC-based liquid biopsies, with promising applications in early diagnosis of tumors. Preparation and mechanism of desorption of the cytosensor based on 2D Au@PdMo nanozymes and electrochemical reductive desorption for the detection and release of CTCs. A Preparation procedure of the Apt/Au@PbMo bioconjugates. B Fabrication process of the sandwich-type cytosensor. C Electrochemical signal produced by the Au@PdMo nanozymes. D Mechanism of electrochemical reductive desorption for CTCs release.

Abstract
Owing to the redox activity of the poly(ferrocenylsilane)-based polymer, several noble metal nanoparticles can be successfully prepared. As reported herein, the in situ preparation of Pd nanoparticles was performed using a redox-active platform of poly(ferrocenylmethylethylthiocarboxylpropylsilane) (PFC) micelles. PFC/Pd nanocomposites (NCs) with Pd nanoparticles uniformly dispersed at the surface of PFC nanospheres were obtained. The morphology of PFC/Pd NCs was further confirmed via high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Taking advantage of Pd nanoparticles, the PFC/Pd NCs showed significant catalytic activity during the reduction process of 4-nitrophenol by sodium borohydride. Although PFC micelles themselves showed no catalytic activity, they promoted the catalytic behavior of Pd nanoparticles obviously by anchoring the Pd nanoparticles at their surface to avoid the aggregation and leaching of Pd nanoparticles. In all, PFC/Pd NCs exhibited great potential as a composite nanocatalyst. Moreover, the PFC micelle was found to be a desired platform for nanocatalysts.
