Abstract
The implementation of nanotechnology to develop efficient antimicrobial systems has a significant impact on the prospects of the biomedical field. Nanogels are soft polymeric particles with an internally cross-linked structure, which behave as hydrogels and can be reversibly hydrated/dehydrated (swollen/shrunken) by the dispersing solvent and external stimuli. Their excellent properties, such as biocompatibility, colloidal stability, high water content, desirable mechanical properties, tunable chemical functionalities, and interior gel-like network for the incorporation of biomolecules, make them fascinating in the field of biological/biomedical applications. In this review, various approaches will be discussed and compared to the newly developed nanogel technology in terms of efficiency and applicability for determining their potential role in combating infections in the biomedical area including implant-associated infections.

Abstract
Block copolymer (BCP) nanowires are crucially important in diversified fields. However, their applications typically suffer from a tedious fabrication process, heterogeneous morphology, and degradation. Herein, we propose a facile and robust approach to synthesize stilbene-containing BCP nanowires in homogeneous morphology with high stability at high solid content (5%-20% w/w) in one pot. It is realized by the polymerization-induced hierarchical self-assembly and subsequent photodimerization cross-linking under UV irradiation of stilbene mesogens in the core-forming block in the later stage of polymerization. Because of the strong liquid crystalline ordering and photodimerization of stilbene, the cross-linked nanowires can be obtained over a broad BCP composition, which show robust morphological stability when exposed to solvent dissolution tests and water dispersion stability tests. This efficient approach to stabilized nanowires with homogeneous morphology via in situ cross-linking would be useful in various fields, such as nanomedicine and Pickering emulsifiers.

Abstract
Synthesis of cationic polyacrylamides (CPAMs) by introducing cationic polymer precursors followed by chain extension of acrylamide (AM) homopolymer blocks via RAFT polymerization is a promising approach for engineering high-performance CPAMs. However, the aqueous solution polymerization of AM usually leads to high viscosity, thus limiting the solid content in the polymerization system. Herein a novel approach is introduced that uses a random copolymer of AM and methacryloxyethyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (DMC) as a macro RAFT chain transfer agent (mCTA) and stabilizer for aqueous RAFT dispersion polymerization of AM. The AM/DMC random copolymers synthesized by RAFT solution polymerization, having narrow dispersities (Đ s) at different molecular weights and cationic degrees (C s), could serve as the mCTA, which was confirmed by mCTA chain extension in aqueous solution polymerization of AM under different C s, solid contents, AM addition contents, extended PAM block lengths, and mCTA chain lengths. The block CPAMs had a Đ value of less than 1.2. A model was developed using the method of moments with consideration of the diffusion control effect, for further understanding the chain extension kinetics. Predicted polymerization kinetics provided an accurate fit of the experimental data. The AM/DMC random copolymers were further used for aqueous RAFT dispersion polymerization of AM under different polymerization temperatures, C s, and mCTA chain lengths. The resulting products had a milky appearance, and the block copolymers had Đ s of less than 1.3. Higher C s and longer chain lengths on mCTAs were beneficial for stabilizing the polymerization systems and produced smaller particle sizes and less particle aggregation. The products remained stable at room temperature storage for more than a month. The results indicate that aqueous RAFT dispersion polymerization using random copolymers of AM and DMC at moderate cationic degrees as a stabilizer and mCTA is a suitable approach for synthesizing CPAM block precursors at an elevated solid content.
