Abstract
In recent years, the fully oxygen-tolerant reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) has become a highly researched area. In this contribution, a new and minimalist method is successfully employed to accomplish fully oxygen-tolerant reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization using bis(trithiocarbonate) disulfides (BisTTC) as an iniferter agent, where the released sulfur-centered trithiocarbonate (TTC) radical can initiate monomer. Furthermore, polymerization kinetics revealed the typical "living" features of this polymerization system. More importantly, by high-throughput screening, it is found that dodecyl-substituted TTC is responsible for the fully oxygen-tolerant RAFT polymerization though trithiocarbonate radical initiation and R radical deoxygenation. It is believed that trithiocarbonate radical initiation strategy provides a powerful and minimalist tool for fully oxygen-tolerant RDRPs.

Abstract
Post-encapsulation and release of the anticancer drug doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX·HCl) through cell-like transmission functions of polymeric vesicles were studied using cross-linked pH-responsive polymeric vesicles. The vesicles were fabricated for the first time via the redox-initiated reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer dispersion polymerization in ethanol-water mixture, using 2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl methacrylate and glycidyl methacrylate, and the vesicle membrane was modified post-cross-linking by using ethylenediamine. A phase diagram was constructed for reproducible fabrication of the polymeric vesicles, and well-shaped vesicles were formed when the target degree of polymerization of the hydrophobic polymer chains was equal to or higher than 50 with solid content in the range of 10-30 wt%. The cross-linked vesicle membrane served as a gate enabling "open" and "closed" states in response to pH stimulation. Up to 50% drug loading efficiency and 39% drug loading content could be achieved, and in vitro release of the DOX-loaded vesicles in aqueous buffer solutions showed a much faster DOX release rate at pH 5.0 than at pH 6.5. The polymeric vesicles were of very low cytotoxicity to A549 cells up to the concentration of 2 mg/mL, and the IC50 of DOX-loaded vesicles were higher than that of the free DOX. The intracellular DOX release study indicated higher cellular uptake capability for DOX-loaded vesicles than that of free DOX.

Abstract
A novel open-to-air photo RAFT polymerization of a series of acrylate and methacrylate monomers mediated by matching chain transfer agent irradiated by far-red light in DMSO is reported. Hydroxyl radical (•OH) generated from methylene blue (MB) sensitized decomposition of H2 O2 via photo-Fenton like-reaction is used for polymerization initiation. The "living/control" characteristic is evidenced by kinetic study, in which a pseudo first order curve and linearly increases of molecular weight with the increase of monomer conversion are observed. The living end-group fidelity is characterized by MALDI-TOF-MS and 1 H NMR results, and confirmed by successful chain extension. The temporary controllability is proved by light on/off switch experiment.

Abstract
Amphiphilic copolymers can self-assemble into nano-objects in aqueous solution. However, the self-assembly process is usually performed in a diluted solution (<1 wt%), which greatly limits scale-up production and further biomedical applications. With recent development of controlled polymerization techniques, polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) has emerged as an efficient approach for facile fabrication of nano-sized structures with a high concentration as high as 50 wt%. In this review, after the introduction, various polymerization method-mediated PISAs that include nitroxide-mediated polymerization-mediated PISA (NMP-PISA), reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization-mediated PISA (RAFT-PISA), atom transfer radical polymerization-mediated PISA (ATRP-PISA), and ring-opening polymerization-mediated PISA (ROP-PISA) are discussed carefully. Afterward, recent biomedical applications of PISA are illustrated from the following aspects, i.e., bioimaging, disease treatment, biocatalysis, and antimicrobial. In the end, current achievements and future perspectives of PISA are given. It is envisioned that PISA strategy can bring great chance for future design and construction of functional nano-vehicles.

Abstract
Cellular communication is essential for living cells to coordinate the individual cellular responses and make collective behaviors. In the past decade, the communications between artificial cells have aroused great interest due to the potential applications of the structures in bioscience and biotechnology. To mimic the cellular communication, artificial cell assisted synthesis of proteinosomes was studied in this research. Multienzyme proteinosomes with glucose oxidase (GOx) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) decorated on the membranes were synthesized by the thermally triggered self-assembly approach. Free radicals produced in a cascade reaction taking place on the surfaces of the multienzyme proteinosomes initiated reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization of NIPAM at a temperature above LCST of PNIPAM in the presence of bovine serum albumin (BSA) or alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH)/acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), and daughter proteinosomes with BSA or ADH/ALDH on the surfaces were fabricated. The structures of the GOx/HRP initiator proteinosomes, and the synthesized daughter proteinosomes were characterized with transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, dynamic light scattering, and micro-DSC. Enzyme activity assays demonstrate the high bioactivities of the enzymes on the surfaces of the initiator and the synthesized daughter proteinosomes.

Abstract
Reversible-deactivation radical polymerizations are privileged approaches for the synthesis of functional and hybrid materials. A bottleneck for conducting these processes is the need to maintain oxygen free conditions. Herein we report a broadly applicable approach to "polymerize through" oxygen using the synergistic combination of two radical initiators having different rates of homolysis. The in situ monitoring of the concentrations of oxygen and monomer simultaneously provided insight into the function of the two initiators and enabled the identification of conditions to effectively remove dissolved oxygen and control polymerization under open-to-air conditions. By understanding how the surface area to volume ratio of reaction vessels influence open-to-air polymerizations, well-defined polymers were produced using acrylate, styrenic, and methacrylate monomers, which each represent an expansion of scope for the "polymerizing through" oxygen approach. Demonstration of this method in tubular reactors using continuous flow chemistry provided a more complete structure-reactivity understanding of how reaction headspace influences PTO RAFT polymerizations.

Abstract
Enzyme catalysis has been increasingly utilized in reversible deactivation radical polymerization (Enz-RDRP) on account of its mildness, efficiency, and sustainability. In this Minireview we discuss the key roles enzymes play in RDRP, including their ATRPase, initiase, deoxygenation, and photoenzyme activities. We use selected examples to highlight applications of Enz-RDRP in surface brush fabrication, sensing, polymerization-induced self-assembly, and high-throughput synthesis. We also give our reflections on the challenges and future directions of this emerging area.

Abstract
A well-controlled bioenhanced reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) in the presence of air is carried out by using glucose oxidase (GOx), glucose, ascorbic acid (Asc acid), and ppm level of hemin. The catalytic concentration of hemin is employed to enhance hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 )/Asc acid redox initiation, achieving rapid RAFT polymerization. Narrow molecular weight distributions and high monomer conversion (Ð as low as 1.09 at >95% conversion) are achieved within tens of minutes. Several kinds of monomers are used to verify the universal implication of the presented method. The influences of the pH and feed ratio of each component on the polymerization rate are assessed. Besides, a polymerization rate regulation is realized by managing Asc acid addition. This work significantly increases the rate of redox-initiated GOx-deoxygen RAFT polymerization by using simple and green reactants, facilitating the application of RAFT polymerization in areas such as biomedical applications.

Abstract
Polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) combines polymerization and self-assembly in a single step with distinct efficiency that has set it apart from the conventional solution self-assembly processes. PISA holds great promise for large-scale production, not only because of its efficient process for producing nano/micro-particles with high solid content, but also thanks to the facile control over the particle size and morphology. Since its invention, many research groups around the world have developed new and creative approaches to broaden the scope of PISA initiations, morphologies and applications, etc. The growing interest in PISA is certainly reflected in the increasing number of publications over the past few years, and in this review, we aim to summarize these recent advances in the emerging aspects of RAFT-mediated PISA. These include (1) non-thermal initiation processes, such as photo-, enzyme-, redox- and ultrasound-initiation; the achievements of (2) high-order structures, (3) hybrid materials and (4) stimuli-responsive nano-objects by design and adopting new monomers and new processes; (5) the efforts in the realization of upscale production by utilization of high throughput technologies, and finally the (6) applications of current PISA nano-objects in different fields and (7) its future directions.

Abstract
An air-tolerant reversible complexation mediated polymerization (RCMP) technique, which can be carried out without prior deoxygenation, was developed. The system contains a monomer, an alkyl iodide initiating dormant species, air (oxygen), an aldehyde, N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI), and a base. Oxygen is consumed via the NHPI-catalyzed conversion of the aldehyde (RCHO) to a carboxylic acid (RCOOH). The generated RCOOH is further converted to a carboxylate anion (RCOO- ) by the base. The RCOO- generated in situ works as an RCMP catalyst; the polymerization proceeds with the monomer, alkyl iodide dormant species, and RCOO- catalyst. Thus, the system is not only air-tolerant but also does not require additional RCMP catalysts, which is a notable feature of this system. (NHPI is used as an oxidation catalyst for converting RCHO to RCOOH.) This technique is amenable to methyl methacrylate, butyl methacrylate, benzyl methacrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, and styrene, yielding polymers with relatively low-dispersity (Mw /Mn = 1.20-1.49), where Mw and Mn are the weight- and number-average molecular weights, respectively.

Abstract
An enzyme cascade system including glucose oxidase (GOx) and iron porphyrin (DhHP-6) is encapsulated in a metal-organic framework called zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) through one-step facile synthesis. The composite (GOx&DhHP-6@ZIF-8) is then used to initiate oxygen-tolerant reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer polymerization for different methacrylate monomers, such as 2-diethylaminoethyl methacrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, and poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (Mn = 500 g mol-1 ). The composite shows the robustness toward solvent and temperatures, all polymerizations using above monomers and catalyzing by GOx&DhHP-6@ZIF-8 exhibits high monomer conversion (>85%) and narrow molar mass dispersity (<1.3). Besides, acrylic and acrylamide monomers such as 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate and N,N-dimethylacrylamide are also carried to demonstrate the broad applicability. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance characterization and chain extension experiments confirm the retaining end groups of the resultant polymers, which is a significant feature of living polymerization. More importantly, the process of recycling the composite through a centrifuge is simplistic, and the composite still maintains similar activity compared to the original composites after five times. This low-cost and easily separated composite catalyst represents a versatile strategy to synthesize well-defined functional polymers suitable for industrial-scale production.

Abstract
Photocontrolled polymerization offers a convenient way to direct the reaction progress and tailor the polymer structures. Nevertheless, conjugated polymers are yet to be utilized as the photocatalyst in associated reactions. Herein, we employed poly(boron dipyrromethene-alt-fluorene) (PBF), a conjugated polymer with better photostability than eosin Y, as the photocatalyst for photo-RAFT polymerizations of acrylic monomers, and the polymers were obtained with moderately narrow molecular weight distributions. The reaction progress was effectively controlled by switching irradiation conditions, and the block copolymers were prepared from chain extension of a macroinitiator. As electron spin resonance (ESR) and optical spectra results suggested, the reductive quenching of PBF* by ascorbate was the key step leading to the reduction of a chain transfer agent (CTA), whereas the hydroxyl radical derived from superoxide was considered as a byproduct of deoxygenation.

Abstract
Achieving well-defined polymers with ultrahigh molecular weight (UHMW) is an enduring pursuit in the field of reversible deactivation radical polymerization. Synthetic protocols have been successfully developed to achieve UHMWs with low dispersities exclusively from conjugated monomers while no polymerization of unconjugated monomers has provided the same level of control. Herein, an oxygen-tolerant photoenzymatic RAFT (reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer) polymerization was exploited to tackle this challenge for unconjugated monomers at 10 °C, enabling facile synthesis of well-defined, linear and star polymers with near-quantitative conversions, unprecedented UHMWs and low dispersities. The exquisite level of control over composition, MW and architecture, coupled with operational ease, mild conditions and environmental friendliness, broadens the monomer scope to include unconjugated monomers, and to achieve previously inaccessible low-dispersity UHMWs.

Abstract
The development of advanced materials based on well-defined polymeric architectures is proving to be a highly prosperous research direction across both industry and academia. Controlled radical polymerization techniques are receiving unprecedented attention, with reversible-deactivation chain growth procedures now routinely leveraged to prepare exquisitely precise polymer products. Reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization is a powerful protocol within this domain, where the unique chemistry of thiocarbonylthio (TCT) compounds can be harnessed to control radical chain growth of vinyl polymers. With the intense recent focus on RAFT, new strategies for initiation and external control have emerged that are paving the way for preparing well-defined polymers for demanding applications. In this work, the cutting-edge innovations in RAFT that are opening up this technique to a broader suite of materials researchers are explored. Emerging strategies for activating TCTs are surveyed, which are providing access into traditionally challenging environments for reversible-deactivation radical polymerization. The latest advances and future perspectives in applying RAFT-derived polymers are also shared, with the goal to convey the rich potential of RAFT for an ever-expanding range of high-performance applications.

Abstract
Redox-initiated reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) miniemulsion polymerizations are successfully conducted with an employment of trithiocarbonate-based macro-RAFT agents and surfactant. Two macro-RAFT agents-hydrophilic poly(poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate) (PPEGMA27 ) and amphiphilic poly(poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate)-b-polystyrene (PPEGMA27 -b-PS33 )- are examined for the miniemulsion polymerization of styrene. The use of PPEGMA27 (in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)) results in a slow polymerization rate with a broad particle size. In the absence of SDS, the use of PPEGMA27 -b-PS33 results in a broad particle size distribution due to its inability to form uniform initial droplets whereas the same amphiphilic block copolymer in the presence of SDS yields resulting products with a uniform particle size distribution. The latter exhibits a fashion of controlled polymerization with a high consumption of monomer (98% in 100 min) and a narrow molecular weight distribution throughout the polymerization. This is attributed to the formation of uniform droplets facilitated by SDS in a miniemulsion. The amphiphilic macro-RAFT agent is able to anchor efficiently on the monomer droplet or particle/water interface and form stabilized particles of well-defined PPEGMA27 -b-PS block copolymer, confirmed using dynamic light scattering and transmission electron micrographs.

Abstract
An enzyme degassing method for oxygen-intolerant polymerizations was implemented in a commercially available automated parallel synthesizer and tested for reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerizations performed in open vessels. For this purpose, a recently reported methodology that employs the enzyme glucose oxidase (GOx) to deplete oxygen in reaction media was utilized. The effectiveness of this approach to perform unattended parallel polymerization reactions in open vessels was demonstrated by comparing experimental results to those obtained under similar experimental conditions but utilizing the common degassing method of sparging N2 to remove oxygen. The proposed experimental technique displayed good precision in performing RAFT polymerizations and good control of the obtained polymers and could be easily adapted to other systems where the removal of oxygen is mandatory. This alternative high-throughput/high-output method may have the potential to increase productivity in research projects where oxygen-intolerant reactions are involved.

Abstract
Enzyme-initiated reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization provides a sustainable strategy for efficient production of well-defined polymers under mild conditions. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP), a heme-containing metalloenzyme, catalyzes oxidation of acetylacetone (ACAC) by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to generate ACAC radicals, initiating polymerization of vinyl monomers. This HRP/H2O2/ACAC ternary initiating system is applied to RAFT polymerization of different types of vinyl monomers. Furthermore, to overcome the inherent limitation of necessity for oxygen-free conditions, another enzyme, glucose oxidase (GOx) or pyranose 2-oxidase (P2Ox), with excellent deoxygenation capability, is introduced to consume oxygen by catalyzing oxidation of glucose to generate H2O2. The generated H2O2 is directly supplied to HRP catalysis for radical generation. Both GOx-HRP and P2Ox-HRP cascade catalysis afford RAFT polymerization with oxygen tolerance. In this chapter, we mainly focus on detailed synthetic protocols of RAFT polymerizations initiated by HRP/H2O2/ACAC ternary initiating system and P2Ox-HRP cascade catalysis. The general characterization and analytical methods used in these enzyme-initiated RAFT polymerizations are also included.

Abstract
The application of photochemistry to polymer and material science has led to the development of complex yet efficient systems for polymerization, polymer post-functionalization, and advanced materials production. Using light to activate chemical reaction pathways in these systems not only leads to exquisite control over reaction dynamics, but also allows complex synthetic protocols to be easily achieved. Compared to polymerization systems mediated by thermal, chemical, or electrochemical means, photoinduced polymerization systems can potentially offer more versatile methods for macromolecular synthesis. We highlight the utility of light as an energy source for mediating photopolymerization, and present some promising examples of systems which are advancing materials production through their exploitation of photochemistry.

Abstract
The removal of dissolved oxygen (O2) from solution is a prerequisite for many reactions, frequently requiring specialized equipment/reagents or expertise. Herein, we introduce a range of reusable, shelf-stable enzyme-functionalized glassware, which biocatalytically removes O2 from contained aqueous solutions. The effectiveness of the activated glassware is demonstrated by facilitating several O2-intolerant RAFT polymerizations.

Abstract
Reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization initiated by a radical-forming redox reaction between a reducing and an oxidizing agent (i.e. ‘redox RAFT’) represents a simple, versatile, and highly useful platform for controlled polymer synthesis. Herein, the potency of a wide range of redox initiation systems including enzyme-mediated redox reactions, the Fenton reaction, peroxide-based reactions, and metal-catalyzed redox reactions, and their application in initiating RAFT polymerization, are reviewed. These redox-RAFT polymerization methods have been widely studied for synthesizing a broad range of homo- and co-polymers with tailored molecular weights, compositions, and (macro)molecular structures. It has been demonstrated that redox-RAFT polymerization holds particular promise due to its excellent performance under mild conditions, typically operating at room temperature. Redox-RAFT polymerization is therefore an important and core part of the RAFT methodology handbook and may be of particular importance going forward for the fabrication of polymeric biomaterials under biologically relevant conditions or in biological systems, in which naturally occurring redox reactions are prevalent.

Abstract
The development of robust oxygen-tolerant reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) systems can dramatically simplify synthesis of well-defined polymers without redundant deoxygenation procedures. Herein, we broaden the application of oxygen-tolerant RDRP from homogeneous aqueous and organic solutions to dispersed media. The glucose oxidase (GOx) degassed atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) was conducted in miniemulsion and ab initio emulsion systems using various catalyst regeneration methods: ARGET, ICAR, photo, and eATRP. All of these polymerization procedures led to polymers with predetermined molecular weight, low dispersity, and high chain-end functionality. Emulsion ATRP on a larger scale with preserved control was also successful. Circular dichroism (CD) studies demonstrated that the anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), did not damage the secondary structure of GOx. This confirms the versatility of the GOx system for various low ppm ATRP methods. GOx-assisted oxygen removal in the synthesis of hydrophobic polymers is reported for the first time. The low cost of deoxygenation reagents and the ability to scale up the procedure suggest the potential for industrial production, especially for emulsion polymerization.

Abstract
Reversible-deactivation radical polymerizations (controlled radical polymerizations) have revolutionized and revitalized the field of polymer synthesis. While enzymes and other biologically derived catalysts have long been known to initiate free radical polymerizations, the ability of peroxidases, hemoglobin, laccases, enzyme-mimetics, chlorophylls, heme, red blood cells, bacteria, and other biocatalysts to control or initiate reversible-deactivation radical polymerizations has only been described recently. Here, the scope of biocatalytic atom transfer radical polymerizations (bioATRP), enzyme-initiated reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer radical polymerizations (bioRAFT), biocatalytic organometallic-mediated radical polymerizations (bioOMRP), and biocatalytic reversible complexation mediated polymerizations (bioRCMP) is critically reviewed, and the potential of these reactions for the environmentally friendly synthesis of precision polymers, for the preparation of functional nanostructures, for the modification of surfaces, and for biosensing is discussed.

Abstract
As a method for overcoming the challenge of rigorous deoxygenation in copper-mediated controlled radical polymerization processes [e.g., atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP)], reported here is a simple Cu0 -RDRP (RDRP=reversible deactivation radical polymerization) system in the absence of external additives (e.g., reducing agents, enzymes etc.). By simply adjusting the headspace of the reaction vessel, a wide range of monomers, namely acrylates, methacrylates, acrylamides, and styrene, can be polymerized in a controlled manner to yield polymers with low dispersities, near-quantitative conversions, and high end-group fidelity. Significantly, this approach is scalable (ca. 125 g), tolerant to elevated temperatures, compatible with both organic and aqueous media, and does not rely on external stimuli which may limit the monomer pool. The robustness and versatility of this methodology is further demonstrated by the applicability to other copper-mediated techniques, including conventional ATRP and light-mediated approaches.

Abstract
The use of hemoglobin (Hb) contained within red blood cells to drive a controlled radical polymerization via a reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) process is reported for the first time. No pre-treatment of the Hb or cells was required prior to their use as polymerization catalysts, indicating the potential for synthetic engineering in complex biological microenvironments without the need for ex vivo techniques. Owing to the naturally occurring prevalence of the reagents employed in the catalytic system (Hb and hydrogen peroxide), this approach may facilitate the development of new strategies for in vivo cell engineering with synthetic macromolecules.

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.
