Abstract
In this work, structural color inks with practical significance in anti-counterfeiting applications have been successfully manufactured by facilely mixing SiO2@PDA@PHEMA hybrid colloidal particles with the mediated molecules of HEMA. The appropriate rheological properties of these photonic inks provide high viscosity and self-supporting performance, ensuring sufficient interaction between particles to form short-range ordered arrays during the mixing and shearing process and thus generating non-iridescent colors. The strong and broad uniform light absorption capabilities of polydopamine (PDA) not only suppress the incoherent multiple scattering of the photonic inks, but also impart surprising optical anti-counterfeiting properties, i.e. black color under ambient illumination and dazzling reflective coloration under strong illumination. With the 3D printing technique, complicated angle-independent patterns with visualization and high fidelity are expected to be fabricated with the as-prepared photonic inks for real-life applications in smart anti-counterfeiting labels, thus encoding encrypted information and selective color rendering accessories.

Abstract
Precipitation polymerization (PP) is a powerful tool to prepare various types of uniform polymer particles owing to its outstanding advantages of easy operation and the absence of any surfactant. Several PP approaches have been developed up to now, including traditional thermo-induced precipitation polymerization (TRPP), distillation precipitation polymerization (DPP), reflux precipitation polymerization (RPP), photoinduced precipitation polymerization (PPP), solvothermal precipitation polymerization (SPP), controlled/‘‘living’’ radical precipitation polymerization (CRPP) and self-stabilized precipitation polymerization (2SPP). In this review, a general introduction to the categories, mechanisms, and applications of precipitation polymerization and the recent developments are presented, proving that PP has great potential to become one of the most attractive polymerization techniques in materials science and bio-medical areas.

Abstract
It is essential to synthesize a "diagnosis and therapy" integration nanocarrier for magnetic resonance imaging-guided breast cancer-targeted chemotherapy. Here, we report Fe3O4/P(NIPAM-AA-MAPEG) nanogels (MNLs) based on in situ loading of doxorubicin (DOX) by miniemulsion polymerization. Especially, propyl acrylic acid (AA) moieties were introduced to absorb DOX by electrostatic interactions and conjugated with the antibody herceptin (HER) through the amino-carboxyl coupling reaction. The size and morphology of MNLs could be adjusted by varying the polymerization parameters, such as the monomer feeding ratio, ferrofluid content, and cross-linker content. The MNLs showed superior stability in a physiological environment, but their structures were destroyed in an acidic environment to accelerate DOX release. The dissociation of the HER-DOX-MNLs accelerated the delivery of DOX and enhanced the therapeutic effects. The studies exhibited that the HER-DOX-MNLs could inhibit the tumor growth. In addition, the MNLs with a high magnetic content had the potential advantages in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of breast cancer diagnosis. The dual-targeted pH-responsive nanogels were successfully designed as a multifunctional nanocarrier for realizing HER2-positive breast cancer chemotherapy and diagnostics.

Abstract
Polyelectrolyte (PE) nanogels consisting of cross-linked PE networks integrate the advanced features of both nanogels and PEs. The soft environment and abundant intrinsic charges are of special interest for enzyme immobilization. However, the crucial factors that regulate enzyme encapsulation and activation remain obscure to date. Herein, we synthesized cationic poly (dimethyl aminoethyl methacrylate), PDMAEMA, nanogels with well-defined size and cross-link degrees and fully investigated the effects of different control factors on lipase immobilization. We demonstrate that the cationic PDMAEMA nanogels indeed enable efficient and safe loading of anionic lipase without disturbing their structures. Strong charge interaction achieved by tuning pH and larger particle size are favorable for lipase loading, while the enhanced enzymatic activity demands nanogels with smaller size and a moderate cross-link degree. As such, PDMAEMA nanogels with a hydrodynamic radius of 35 nm and 30% cross-linker fraction display the optimal catalytic efficiency, which is fourfold of that of free lipase. Moreover, the immobilization endows enhanced enzymatic activity in a broad scope of pH, ionic strength, and temperature, demonstrating effective protection and activation of lipase by the designed nanogels. Our study validates the crucial controls of the size and structure of PE nanogels on enzyme encapsulation and activation, and the revealed findings shall be helpful for designing functional PE nanogels and boosting their applications for enzyme immobilization.

Novel Contact Lenses Embedded with Drug-Loaded Zwitterionic Nanogels for Extended Ophthalmic Drug Delivery. NANOMATERIALS 2021; 11:nano11092328.

Abstract
Therapeutic ophthalmic contact lenses with prolonged drug release and improved bioavailability have been developed to circumvent tedious eye drop instillation. In this work, zwitterionic nanogels based on poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) (PSBMA) were easily fabricated by one-step reflux-precipitation polymerization, with the advantages of being surfactant-free and morphology controlled. Then, the ophthalmic drug levofloxacin (LEV) was encapsulated into the nanogels. A set of contact lenses with varied nanogel-loading content was fabricated by the cast molding method, with the drug-loaded nanogels dispersed in pre-monomer solutions composed of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (NVP). The structure, surface morphology, water contact angle (WCA), equilibrium water content (EWC), transmittance, and mechanical properties of the contact lenses were subsequently investigated, and in vitro drug release and biocompatibility were further evaluated. As a result, the optimized contact lens with nanogel-loading content of 8 wt% could sustainably deliver LEV for ten days, with critical lens properties within the range of recommended values for commercial contact lenses. Moreover, cell viability assays revealed that the prepared contact lenses were cytocompatible, suggesting their significant potential as an alternative to traditional eye drops or ointment formulations for long-term oculopathy treatment.

Abstract
Zwitterionic polymers by virtue of their unique chemical and physical attributes have attracted researchers in recent years. The simultaneous presence of positive and negative charges in the same repeat unit renders them of various interesting properties such as superhydrophilicity, which has significantly broadened their scope for being used in different applications. Among polyzwitterions of different architectures, micro- and/or nano-gels have started receiving attention only until recently. These 3D cross-linked colloidal structures show peculiar characteristics in context to their solution properties, which are attributable either to the comonomers present or the presence of different electrolytes and biological specimens. In this review, a concise yet detailed account is provided of the different synthetic techniques and application domains of zwitterion-based micro- and/or nanogels that have been explored in recent years. Here, the focus is kept solely on the "polybetaines," which have garnered maximum research interest and remain the extensively studied polyzwitterions in literature. While their vast application potential in the biomedical sector is being detailed here, some other areas of scope such as using them as microreactors for the synthesis of metal nanoparticles or making smart membranes for water-treatment are discussed in this minireview as well.

Abstract
Catechins are polyphenolic compounds which abundantly occur in the plants, especially tea leaves. They are widely used in nutraceutical and pharmaceutical formulations due to their capability of lowering the risk of developing various diseases. Nevertheless, low stability, loss of antioxidant and antimicrobial activities hinder the direct application of catechins in food formulations. To surmount this pervasive challenge, bioactive ingredients should be entrapped in a biopolymeric matrix. Thus, nanoencapsulation technology would be an appropriate strategy to improve the stability of these bioactive compounds and to protect them against degradation. Among different types of nanocarriers, biopolymer-based nanovehicles has captured a lot of attention in both industry and academia due to their safety and biocompatibility. This revision enlarges upon the various types of biopolymeric nanostructures used for accommodation of catechins, namely nanogels, nanotubes, nanofibers, nanoemulsions and nanoparticles. Last but not least, the applications of the entrapped catechins in the food industry are highlighted.

Abstract
Polyelectrolyte (PE) nanogels which combine features of nanogels and polyelectrolytes have attracted significant attention as outstanding nano-carriers. However, and crucially, any large-scale application of PE nanogels can only materialize when an efficient production method is available. We recently developed such a robust approach, namely Electrostatic Assembly Directed Polymerization (EADP), in which ionic monomers are polymerized together with cross-linker in the presence of a polyion-neutral diblock copolymer as template. Although EADP achieves efficient and scalable preparation of diverse PE nanogels, the essential factors for the optimal and controlled synthesis of nanogels have remained elusive. In this article, we investigate systematically the effects of pH, salt concentration, and cross-linker fractions on the formation and properties of a PDMAEMA nanogel prepared with PAA-b-PEO as the template. We find that the electrostatic interaction between the building blocks is crucial to obtain assembly-controlled polymerization, and we establish preferred pH, salt concentration and cross-linker fractions. The obtained PDMAEMA nanogel exhibits dual-responses to pH and salt, which allow manipulation of the positive charges of the nanogels for selective loading and controlled release of anionic substances; we demonstrate this with an anionic dye. The study presented here fully addresses the process parameters of EADP regarding optimal and controlled preparation of PE nanogels, which should allow exploration of their potential vis-a-vis a variety of applications.

Abstract
Iron (Fe)-based nanozymes are widely applied in the biomedical field due to their enzyme-like catalytic activity. Herein, Fe(ii)-based coordination polymer nanohydrogels (FeCPNGs) have been conveniently prepared as a new type of nanozyme by the chelation reaction between ferrous iron and polymer nanohydrogels. The P(VCL-co-NMAM) nanohydrogels prepared by a reflux precipitation polymerization method using N-vinylcaprolactam (VCL) and N-methylol acrylamide (NMAM) as monomers and N,N-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as a crosslinker were esterified using P2O5 and then chelated with Fe(ii) ions to form nanozymes with peroxidase and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. It was found by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) that the nanohydrogels prepared with a monomer concentration of 4% and mass ratio of 1 : 1 (VCL : NMAM) had more uniform particle size, better dispersion and a distinct temperature response. The results of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), DLS, TEM, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) indicated the successful preparation of the esterified nanohydrogel and FeCPNGs. Of particular importance is that such FeCPNGs can functionally mimic two antioxidant enzymes (peroxidase and superoxide dismutase) by UV analysis of catalytic oxidation between 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and H2O2 and the kit analysis of SOD-like activity.

Abstract
Considering nanogels, we have focused our attention on hybrid nanosystems for drug delivery and biomedical purposes. The distinctive strength of these structures is the capability to join the properties of nanosystems with the polymeric structures, where versatility is strongly demanded for biomedical applications. Alongside with the therapeutic effect, a non-secondary requirement of the nanosystem is indeed its biocompatibility. The importance to fulfill this aim is not only driven by the priority to reduce, as much as possible, the inflammatory or the immune response of the organism, but also by the need to improve circulation lifetime, biodistribution, and bioavailability of the carried drugs. In this framework, we have therefore gathered the hybrid nanogels specifically designed to increase their biocompatibility, evade the recognition by the immune system, and overcome the self-defense mechanisms present in the bloodstream of the host organism. The works have been essentially organized according to the hybrid morphologies and to the strategies adopted to fulfill these aims: Nanogels combined with nanoparticles or with liposomes, and involving polyethylene glycol chains or zwitterionic polymers.
