Abstract
Carbon fiber microelectrode arrays based on diazonium salt and single-walled carbon nanotubes composites (DS-SWCNT/CFMEA) have been fabricated, and it developed for the simultaneous monitoring of dopamine (DA) and serotonin (5-HT) with differential pulse voltammary (DPV). The diazonium salt can improve the water-solubility of single-walled carbon nanotubes and show good selectivity to DA, thus DS-SWCNT/CFMEA exhibits enhanced electrocatalytic activity for the oxidation of DA and 5-HT, and well antifouling ability to the other biomolecules. Moreover, DS-SWCNT/CFMEA shows the wider liner range, and the good performance of precision, reproducibility and biocompatibility. The excellent characteristics of the prepared microsensor array make it to be used to monitor the release of DA and 5-HT in the mouse brain striatum of different group over time. Meanwhile, the results of in vivo on line assay further confirmed the pharmacological effects of Uncaria alkaloid extract solution on DA and 5-HT. This research may provide a new method for monitoring the release of neurobiomolecules, and the microsensor array are expected to be a tool for the study of pharmacological and physiological processes on line in vivo.

Abstract
Functionalization of carbon nanotube (CNT) with polymers has drawn much attention due to its wide range of applications. Polymer-functionalized CNT could exhibit variety of properties, such as responsivity to environmental stimuli, ability of complexation with metal ions, increased dispersibility in different solvents, higher compatibility with polymer matrix, etc. Chemical and physical methods have been developed for the preparation of polymer-functionalized CNT. Polymer chains are chemically bonded to the CNT edge or surface in the chemical methods, which results in highly stable CNT/polymer composites. "Grafting to", "grafting from", and "grafting through" methods are the most common chemical methods for polymer-functionalization of CNT. In "grafting to" method, pre-fabricated polymer chains are coupled with the either functionalized or non-functionalized CNT. In "grafting from" and "grafting through" methods, CNT is functionalized by polymers simultaneously synthesized by in situ polymerization methods. Conventional free radical polymerization (FRP) and also controlled radical polymerization (CRP) are the most promising methods for in situ tethering of polymer brushes onto the surface of CNT due to their control over the grafting density, thickness, and functionality of the polymer brushes. The main focus of this review is on the synthesis of polymer-functionalized CNT via both the "grafting from" and "grafting through" methods on the basis of FRP and CRP routs, which is commonly known as in situ polymerizations. Finally, the most important challenges and applications of the in situ polymer grafting methods are discussed, which could be interesting for the future works.

Abstract
The facile and controlled fabrication of homogeneously grafted cationic polymers on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) remains poorly investigated, which further hinders the understanding of interactions between functionalized CNTs with different nucleic acids and the rational design of appropriate gene delivery vehicles. Herein, we describe the controlled grafting of cationic poly(2-dimethylaminoethylmethacrylate) brushes on CNTs via surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization integrated with mussel-inspired polydopamine chemistry. The binding of nucleic acids with different brush-CNT hybrids discloses the highly architectural-dependent behavior with dense short brush-coated CNTs displaying the highest binding among all the other hybrids, namely, dense long, sparse long, and sparse short brush-coated CNTs. Additionally, different chemistries of the brush coatings were shown to influence the biocompatibility, cellular uptake, and silencing efficiency in vitro. This platform provides great flexibility for the design of polymer brush-CNT hybrids with precise control over their structure-activity relationship for the rational design of nucleic acid delivery systems.

Abstract
A liquid crystalline elastomer (LCE) as a kind of stimuli-responsive materials, which can be fabricated to present the three-dimensional (3D) change in shape, shows a wide range of applications. Herein, we propose a simple and robust way to prepare a 3D shape-change actuator based on gradient cross-linking of the vertically aligned monodomain of liquid crystals (LCs). First, gold nanoparticles grafted by liquid crystalline polymers (LCPs) are used to induce the homeotropic orientation of the LC monomer and cross-linkers. Then, photopolymerization under UV irradiation is carried out, which can result in the LCE film with a cross-link gradient. Different from the typical LCEs with homogenous alignment that usually show the shape change of extension/contraction, the obtained vertically aligned LCE film exhibits excellent bendability under a thermal stimulus. The nanoindentation experiment demonstrates that the deformation of LCE films comes from the difference in Young's modulus on two sides of the thin film. Simply scissoring the thin film can prepare the samples with different bending angles under the fixed length. Moreover, using a photomask to pattern the film during photopolymerization can realize the complex 3D deformation, such as bend, fold, and buckling. Further, the patterned LCE film doped with multiwalled carbon nanotubes modified by LCPs (CNT-PDB) can act as a light-fueled microwalker with fast crawl behavior.

Abstract
The synthesis of well-defined inorganic colloidal nanostructures using functional macromolecules is an enabling technology that offers the possibility of fine-tuning the physicochemical properties of nanomaterials and has contributed to a broad range of practical applications. The utilization of functional reactive polymers and their colloidal assemblies leads to a high level of control over structural parameters of inorganic nanoparticles that are not easily accessible by conventional methods based on small-molecule ligands. Recent advances in polymerization techniques for synthetic polymers and newly exploited functions of natural biomacromolecules have opened up new avenues to monodisperse and multifunctional nanostructures consisting of integrated components with distinct chemistries but complementary properties. Here, the evolution of colloidal synthesis of inorganic nanoparticles is revisited. Then, the new developments of colloidal synthesis enabled by functional macromolecules and practical applications associated with the resulting optical, catalytic, and structural properties of colloidal nanostructures are summarized. Finally, a perspective on new and promising pathways to novel colloidal nanostructures built upon the continuous development of polymer chemistry, colloidal science, and nanochemistry is provided.

Abstract
Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) grafted amino-functionalized multi walled carbon nanotubes (amino-MWCNTs) were synthesized by in situ polymerization under aqueous solvent. The grafted MWCNT/PAN nascent composite fibers were prepared by the wet spinning method. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy indicated that the amino-MWCNTs and PAN macromolecular chains had interfacial interactions and formed chemical bonds. The grafting content of the PAN polymer on the amino-MWCNTs was up to 73.2% by thermo gravimetric analysis. The incorporation of the grafted MWCNTs improved the degree of crystallization and crystal size of PAN nascent fibers, and changed the thermal properties during exothermic processing in an air atmosphere. Morphology analysis and testing of mechanical properties showed that the grafted MWCNT/PAN nascent composite fibers with a more uniform diameter distribution and larger diameter had higher tensile strength and tensile modulus than the control PAN nascent fibers.

Abstract
A multi-functional polymer-carbon nanotube (CNT) nanocable with a hierarchical structure is fabricated by grafting poly (glycidyl methacrylate) (PGMA) from the CNT surface via activators regenerated by electron transfer atom transfer radical polymerization. Multiple CNTs are arranged in parallel in the fabricated nanocable and exhibit strong binding force with sheathing PGMA. In situ mechanical and electrical tests conducted on an individual nanocable reveal its high flexibility and excellent surface insulation, with an electrical resistance of approximately 1 GΩ. On increasing the voltage to the nanocable's electrical breakdown point, nanoscale electrical trees are observed. Such degradation behavior is discussed in the wider context of breakdown mechanisms in polymer based CNTs.

Abstract
The generation of polymer brushes by surface-initiated controlled radical polymerization (SI-CRP) techniques has become a powerful approach to tailor the chemical and physical properties of interfaces and has given rise to great advances in surface and interface engineering. Polymer brushes are defined as thin polymer films in which the individual polymer chains are tethered by one chain end to a solid interface. Significant advances have been made over the past years in the field of polymer brushes. This includes novel developments in SI-CRP, as well as the emergence of novel applications such as catalysis, electronics, nanomaterial synthesis and biosensing. Additionally, polymer brushes prepared via SI-CRP have been utilized to modify the surface of novel substrates such as natural fibers, polymer nanofibers, mesoporous materials, graphene, viruses and protein nanoparticles. The last years have also seen exciting advances in the chemical and physical characterization of polymer brushes, as well as an ever increasing set of computational and simulation tools that allow understanding and predictions of these surface-grafted polymer architectures. The aim of this contribution is to provide a comprehensive review that critically assesses recent advances in the field and highlights the opportunities and challenges for future work.

Abstract
In this review, we systematically describe the state-of-knowledge in the area of carbon nanotubides (CNTDs). CNTDs can be used for achieving highly concentrated dispersions of SWCNTs and can also be used as an important intermediate for covalent chemical modification. In recent years, researchers have used SWCNTDs as starting materials for the functionalization of SWCNTs with functionalities such as alkyl chains, carboxylic acids, sulfide, amino, hydroxyl, silyl, bromide, ethers, ketones and polymers. Also, we discussed the observed selectivity on the covalent functionalization towards certain classes of CNTs. Finally, we describe the use of SWCNTDs in the manufacture of fibers, films and other functional materials.

Abstract
Novel Carbon Nanotube-Polymer Hybrids were synthesized as potential materials for the development of membranes for water treatment applications in the field of Membrane Bioreactors (MBRs). Due to the toxicological concerns regarding the use of nanomaterials in water treatment as well as the rising demand for safe drinking water to protect public health, we studied the functionalization of MWCNTs and Thin-MWCNTs as to control their properties and increase their ability of embedment into porous anisotropic polymeric membranes. Following the growth of the hydrophilic monomer on the surface of the properly functionalized CNTs, that act as initiator for the controlled radical polymerization (ATRP) of sodium styrene sulfonate (SSNa), the antimicrobial quaternized phosphonium and ammonium salts were attached on CNTs-g-PSSNa through non-covalent bonding. In another approach the covalent attachment of quaternized ammonium polymeric moieties of acrylic acid-vinyl benzyl chloride copolymers with N,N-dimethylhexadecylamine (P(AA12-co-VBCHAM)) on functionalized CNTs has also been attempted. Finally, the toxicological assessment in terms of cell viability and cell morphological changes revealed that surface characteristics play a major role in the biological response of functionalized CNTs.

Abstract
The objective of this research is to develop a nanoparticle synthesis scheme that controls nanoparticle shape and surface chemistry concomitantly. Specifically, a method to synthesize hydroxyapatite nanoparticles using a dispersed block copolymer template is explored, which produces spherical and needle-shaped nanoparticles, and at the end of the synthesis, the block copolymer is retained as a surface coating on the nanoparticles. This strategy has been used previously with double-hydrophilic block copolymers (DHBCs) as the dispersed template; however, in this work, an alternative block copolymer chemistry is explored in an effort to extend this method to synthesis in organic solvents, producing nanoparticles that are organophilic instead of hydrophilic. The hydroxyapatite nanoparticles were synthesized using poly(methyl methacrylate)-b-poly(methacrylic acid) (PMMA-b-PMAA) as the dispersed template and tetrahydrofuran as the solvent. The synthesis proceeds following the ionization of the PMAA block of the copolymer and association between this ionized group and the calcium precursor ions. To investigate the degree of shape control available, the concentration of block copolymer solution and the amount of precursor were systematically varied, and the synthesized HAp nanoparticles were characterized. SEM images showed that needle and spherical HAp nanoparticles could be synthesized by changing the block copolymer concentration. TGA, FT-IR, and XRD results indicated that the block copolymer used for synthesis remained on the HAp particle surface. Overall, these results indicate that the shape of the nanoparticles produced by this method was related to the Ca(2+)/COO(-) mole ratio used during synthesis, similar to results obtained with DHBC template synthesis. The qualitative agreement between the shape control mechanisms in the two synthesis schemes suggests that this relationship could be general to the overall synthesis scheme and provide a mechanism for controlling nanoparticle shape with many block copolymer chemistries.

Abstract
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) represent one of the most promising materials in nanoscience today, with their unique electronic, chemical and mechanical properties. Strong van der Waals interactions and poor solubility greatly affect their potential for applications in various fields. In the past decade, great efforts have been undertaken to modify CNTs into organophilic material via covalent and non-covalent grafting strategies. This review focuses on advances in various strategies used for the surface initiated polymerization and provides perspectives on grafting polymers covalently from CNTs.
