Abstract
Polymer synthesis via multicomponent reactions (MCRs) has opened avenues in polymer chemistry and led to the development of various types of functional polymers. Herein, we developed a strategy to prepare multifunctional polymers via the successive modification of dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-thione (DHPMT), which can be generated by the tricomponent Biginelli reaction. Four hydrophobic polymers were efficiently prepared by using DHPMT derivatives. These polymers can be dip-coated onto the oxidized copper mesh to obtain superhydrophobic meshes because of the strong attractive forces between the DHPMT derivatives and Cu(II). The optimized mesh has self-cleaning properties and outstanding stability in various liquid environments; it has also been successfully applied for oil/water separation with high separation efficiency and good durability. These results demonstrate that successive modification of DHPMT is a promising method for fabricating multifunctional polymers, which may have applications in polymer chemistry and materials science.

Abstract
Multicomponent reactions of primary phosphines (R-PH2), diimines (R'-N═C(H)-R-(H)C═N-R'), and chalcogens (O2, S8) generate poly(α-aminophosphine chalcogenide)s (4-7) through step-growth polymerization. Characterization of the linear polymers using 31P{1H} diffusion-ordered NMR spectroscopy (DOSY) experiments aided in determining the molecular weight (Mw) of the material. Subjecting the polyphosphine oxide or sulfide to reducing conditions in the presence of a Lewis acid resulted in complete depolymerization of the polymers, quantitatively releasing the 1° phosphine and diimine (2) starting materials, with concomitant reduction of diimine to diamine (9).

Abstract
Lipoic acid (LA) and dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA) are well established antioxidants to scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, they are carboxylates with ≈4.7 pKa making them negatively charged at physiological pH (7.4) reducing their passive diffusion through cell membranes. LA is known to be capable of reducing protein fibrillation. Incorporation of LA and especially DHLA in polymer side chains are scarce. Herein, the first examples of the anti-amyloidogenic effect of LA and DHLA incorporated into the side-chain of a block copolymer with a water-soluble poly(polyethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate) (PPEGMA) segment are presented. The resultant polymers show improved ROS scavenging activity and improved ability to reduce insulin fibrillation compared to free LA and DHLA. Furthermore, the resultant polymers are also capable of disintegrating preformed insulin firbrils. Interestingly, polymers with dihydro-lipoate moieties showed 93% free radical scavenging activity with 91% anti-fibrillating efficacies for insulin protein confirmed by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay and Thioflavin T (ThT) dye binding study, respectively. Further, the antioxidant polymers increase the cell viability against fibrillar insulin aggregates that may be involved in the etiology of several diseases. Overall, this work reveals that antioxidant polymer-based therapeutic agents can serve as a powerful modulation strategy for developing novel drugs in future against amyloid-related disorders.

Abstract
Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) have been used to prepare polymers with appealing functions. The Biginelli reaction, one of the oldest and most famous MCRs, has sparked new scientific discoveries in polymer chemistry since 2013. Recent years have seen the Biginelli reaction stepping further from simple coupling tools; for example, the functions of the Biginelli product 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-(thi)ones (DHPM(T)) have been gradually exploited to develop new functional polymers. In this mini-review, we mainly summarize the recent progress of using the Biginelli reaction to identify polymers for biomedical applications. These polymers have been documented as antioxidants, anticancer agents, and bio-imaging probes. Moreover, we also provide a brief introduction to some emerging applications of the Biginelli reaction in materials and polymer science. Finally, we present our perspectives for the further development of the Biginelli reaction in polymer chemistry.

Abstract
The development of high quality magnetic self-healing hydrogels containing well-dispersed magnetic nanoparticle has been a challenging procedure due to unavailable methods of facilely introducing groups that can efficiently stabilize these magnetic nanoparticles in the self-healing hydrogels. In this research, a polymer containing both phenylboronic acid (PBA) and phosphonic acid (PA) groups has been developed by the Kabachnik-Fields (KF) reaction. This polymer well disperses iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) through the strong interactions between the PA groups and the surface of the IONPs; thus, this polymer effectively mixed IONPs and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) to form a hydrogel containing well-dispersed IONPs. The resulting hydrogel is self-healing, owing to the dynamic borate ester linkages. Moreover, the presence of the IONPs endowed the hydrogel with magnetic properties, also making it heat-responsive in an alternating magnetic field and expanding its application as a contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging. The magnetic self-healing hydrogel showed excellent biosafety properties in animal experiments, suggesting its potential as an injectable implant material for biological and medical applications. This research exploits a biocompatible magnetic self-healing hydrogel with well-dispersed IONPs, demonstrating the value of the KF reaction in the development of functional polymers and smart materials, which might prompt a broad study of multicomponent reactions in interdisciplinary fields.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive polymers undergo changes under different environmental conditions. Among them, phenylboronic acid (PBA) containing polymers (PBA-polymers) are unique, because they can selectively react with diols to generate borates that are sensitive to pH, sugars, and H2 O2 , and can be effectively used to synthesize smart drug carriers and self-healing hydrogels. Recently, multifunctional PBA-polymers (MF-PBA-polymers) have been developed using multicomponent reactions (MCRs) to introduce PBA groups into polymer structures. These MF-PBA-polymers have features similar to those of traditional PBA-polymers; moreover, they exhibit additional properties, such as fluorescence, antimicrobial activity, and antioxidant capability, when different MCRs are used. In this mini review, the preparation of these MF-PBA-polymers are summarized and the new properties/functions that have been introduced into these polymers using different MCRs are discussed. The uses of these MF-PBA-polymers as fluorescent cell anticoagulants, drug carriers, and gelators of functional self-healing hydrogels have been discussed. Additionally, the challenges encountered during their preparation are discussed and also the future developments in this field are touched upon.
