Abstract
Open-to-air aqueous-phase ring-opening metathesis polymerization-induced self-assembly (ROMPISA) is reported for forming well-defined peptide polymer nanoparticles at room temperature and with high solids concentrations (10 w/w%). For these materials, ROMPISA is shown to provide control over molecular weight with high conversion while open-to-air. Moreover, these peptide polymer nanoparticles can spontaneously rearrange into larger aggregate scaffolds in the presence of the proteolytic enzyme, thermolysin. This work demonstrates the robust nature of ROMPISA, highlighted here for the preparation of stimuli-responsive nanostructures in one pot, in air.

Abstract
The use of an in situ, one-pot polymerization-induced self-assembly method to synthesize light-responsive pyrene-containing nanoparticles is reported. The strategy is based on the chain extension of a hydrophilic macromolecular chain transfer agent, poly(oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate), using a light-responsive monomer, 1-pyrenemethyl methacrylate (PyMA), via a reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer dispersion polymerization; yielding nanoparticles of various morphologies (spherical micelles and worm-like micelles). In this process, addition of comonomers, such as butyl methacrylate (BuMA) or methyl methacrylate (MMA), are required to obtain high PyMA monomer conversion (>80% in 24 h). The addition of comonomers reduces the π-π stacking of the pyrene moieties, which facilitates the diffusion of monomers in the nanoparticle core. The addition of BuMA (as a comonomer) offers P(PyMA-co-BuMA) core-forming chains with high mobility that enables the reorganization of chains and then the evolution of morphology to form vesicles. In contrast, when MMA comonomer is used, kinetically trapped spheres are obtained; this is due to the low mobility of the core-forming chains inhibiting in situ morphological evolution. Finally, the UV-light-induced dissociation of these light-responsive nanoparticles due to the gradual cleavage of the pyrene moieties and the subsequent hydrophobic-to-hydrophilic transitions of the core-forming blocks is demonstrated.

Abstract
Rapid developments in the polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) technique have paved the way for the environmentally friendly production of nanoparticles with tunable size and shape for a diverse range of applications. In this feature article, the biomedical applications of PISA nanoparticles and the substantial progress made in controlling their size and shape are highlighted. In addition to early investigations into drug delivery, applications such as medical imaging, tissue culture, and blood cryopreservation are also described. Various parameters for controlling the morphology of PISA nanoparticles are discussed, including the degree of polymerization of the macro-CTA and core-forming polymers, the concentration of macro-CTA and core-forming monomers, the solid content of the final products, the solution pH, the thermoresponsitivity of the macro-CTA, the macro-CTA end group, and the initiator concentration. Finally, several limitations and challenges for the PISA technique that have been recently addressed, along with those that will require further efforts into the future, will be highlighted.

Abstract
Polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) has been established as an efficient, robust, and versatile approach to synthesize various block copolymer nano-objects with controlled morphologies, tunable dimensions, and diverse functions. The relatively high concentration and potential scalability makes it a promising technique for industrial production and practical applications of functional polymeric nanoparticles. This feature article outlines recent advances in PISA via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer dispersion polymerization. Considerable efforts to understand morphological control, broaden the monomer library, enhance morphological stability, and incorporate multiple driving forces in PISA syntheses are summarized herein. Finally, perspectives on the future of PISA research are discussed.

Abstract
This review article highlights recent developments in the field of photochemistry and photochemical reversible deactivation radical polymerization applied to aqueous polymerizations. Photochemistry is a topic of significant interest in the fields of organic, polymer, and materials chemistry because it allows challenging reactions to be performed under mild conditions. Aqueous polymerization is of significant interest because water is an environmentally benign solvent, and the use of water enables complex polymer self-assembly and bioconjugation processes to occur. This review focuses on powerful new developments in photochemical aqueous polymerization reactions and their applications to the synthesis of well-defined polymer nano-objects and bioconjugates. It is anticipated that these aqueous photopolymerizations will enable the next generation of self-assembled structures and biohybrid materials to be developed under mild and environmentally friendly conditions.

Abstract
The assembly of low molecular weight polymers into highly efficient and nontoxic nanostructures has broad applicability in gene delivery. In this study, we reported the assembly of coumarin-anchored low generation dendrimers in aqueous solution via hydrophobic interactions. The synthesized material showed significantly improved DNA binding and gene delivery, and minimal toxicity on the transfected cells. Moreover, the coumarin moieties in the assembled nanostructures endow the materials with light-responsive drug delivery behaviors. The coumarin substitutes in the assembled nanostructures were cross-linked with each other upon irradiation at 365 nm, and the cross-linked assemblies were degraded upon further irradiation at 254 nm. As a result, the drug-loaded nanoparticle showed a light-responsive drug release behavior and light-enhanced anticancer activity. The assembled nanoparticle also exhibited a complementary anticancer activity through the codelivery of 5-fluorouracil and a therapeutic gene encoding tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL). This study provided a facile strategy to develop light-responsive polymers for the codelivery of therapeutic genes and anticancer drugs.

Abstract
We report aqueous-phase Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization-Induced Self-Assembly (ROMPISA) for forming well-defined micellar polymer nanoparticles at room temperature and high solids concentration (20 w/w%). This is achieved with a new polymerization initiator, in the form of a water-soluble cationic Hoveyda-Grubbs second generation catalyst. This reaction was used in water to produce diblock copolymers from norbornenyl monomers, which then self-assemble into myriad nanostructure morphologies for which a phase diagram was constructed. Additionally, the living nature of the polymerization initiated by the aqueous initiator was confirmed, as shown by kinetic evaluation under mild conditions in water.

Abstract
In this communication, we investigate the photoinduced electron/energy transfer-reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (PET-RAFT) polymerization of 2-(methylthio)ethyl methacrylate (MTEMA) using 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphine zinc (ZnTPP) as a photocatalyst under visible red light (λmax = 635 nm). Interestingly, the polymerization kinetics were not affected by the presence of air as near identical polymerization kinetics were observed for non-deoxygenated and deoxygenated systems, which is attributed to the singlet oxygen quenching ability of MTEMA. In both cases, well-defined polymers were obtained with good control over the molecular weight and molecular weight distribution (MWD). Furthermore, we have demonstrated that MTEMA can undergo the polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) process from a poly(oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate) (POEGMA) macromolecular chain transfer agent (macro-CTA) to yield well-defined polymeric nanoparticles of various morphologies. These nanoparticles were rapidly disassembled after exposure to visible light due to the formation of singlet oxygen by the encapsulated ZnTPP and subsequent rapid oxidation of the thioether group.
