Abstract
The fabrication of stimulus-responsive supramolecular hydrogels as smart materials has attracted much attention in recent years. However, the multi-stimuli responsiveness often requires complicated chemical synthesis and rational molecular design. Herein, a quadruple-stimuli responsive supramolecular hydrogel was designed through the host-guest interaction between a β-CD dimer and a methoxy-azobenzene (mAzo) and ferrocene (Fc) grafted poly(acrylic acid) derivative, as well as through the electrostatic interaction of negatively charged carboxyl side groups. Owing to the dynamic properties of the host-guest and electrostatic interactions, reversible sol-gel transition can be triggered by various stimuli, including temperature, light irradiations, pH changes and chemical redox reagents. As a result, the release of rhodamine B loaded in the hydrogel can be accelerated by green light irradiation, oxidizing agents and low pH, demonstrating potential applications in biomedical materials.

Abstract
The irregular expression or activity of enzymes in the human body leads to various pathological disorders and can therefore be used as an intrinsic trigger for more precise identification of disease foci and controlled release of diagnostics and therapeutics, leading to improved diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, and therapeutic efficacy while reducing systemic toxicity. Advanced synthesis strategies enable the preparation of polymers with enzymatically activatable skeletons or side chains, while understanding enzymatically responsive mechanisms promotes rational incorporation of activatable units and predictions of the release profile of diagnostics and therapeutics, ultimately leading to promising applications in disease diagnosis and treatment with superior biocompatibility and efficiency. By overcoming the challenges, new opportunities will emerge to inspire researchers to develop more efficient, safer, and clinically reliable enzymatically activatable polymeric carriers as well as prodrugs.

Abstract
Amphiphilic polymers can self-assemble to form nanoparticles with different structures under suitable conditions. Polymer nanoparticles functionalized with aromatic azo groups are endowed with photo-responsive properties. In recent years, a variety of photoresponsive polymers and nanoparticles have been developed based on azobenzene, using different molecular design strategies and synthetic routes. This article reviews the progress of this rapidly developing research field, focusing on the structure, synthesis, assembly and response of photo-responsive polymer assemblies. According to the molecular structure, photo-responsive polymers can be divided into linear polymers containing azobenzene in a side chain, linear polymers containing azobenzene in the main chain, linear polymers containing azobenzene in an end group, branched polymers containing azobenzene and supramolecular polymers containing azobenzene. These systems have broad biomedical application prospects in the field of drug delivery and imaging applications.

Abstract
Polycyclodextrin (denoted PCD) composed of cyclodextrin monomer units and 1,3-diethoxypropan-2-ol containing many hydroxyl groups with lone pairs of electrons, easily coordinated with transition metals with empty orbitals. The CD unit can also provide host-guest binding sites for functional molecules. This article utilizes this feature of PCD for the first time as a "linker" to combine transition metal nanomaterials with synergistic functional molecules. We synthesized PCD with 50% CD monomer by epichlorohydrin cross-linking method. Utilizing the coordination effect of the hydroxyl group in PCD and the iron ion in photothermal nanoparticles (PB-Yb), the PCD is coated on its surface; simultaneously, CD in PCD can form a host-guest complex with adamantane-modified zinc phthalocyanine (Pc) photosensitizer. Using PCD as a "linker", PB-Yb and Pc (denoted PYPP) were combined to improve the solubility of PB-Yb, reduce the aggregation degree of Pc to increase their activity, and achieve photothermal and photodynamic synergistic tumor therapy.

Abstract
Cyclodextrins (CDs) are cyclic oligosaccharides with unique conical structure enabling host-guest inclusion complexes. However, virgin CDs sufferfrom low solubility, lack of functional groups and its inability to strong complexation with the guests. One of the most efficient ways to improve the properties of cyclodextrins is the synthesis of polycyclodextrins. Generally, there are two types of polycyclodextrins: 1) polymers containing CD units as parts of the main backbone; and 2) polymers with CD units as side chains. These polycyclodextrins are produced (i) from direct copolymerization of virgin cyclodextrins or cyclodextrins derivatives with various monomers including isocyanates, epoxides, carboxylic acids, anhydrides, acrylates, acrylamides and fluorinated aromatic compounds, or (ii) by post-functionalization of other polymers with CDs or CD derivatives.. By selecting the proper derivatives of CDs and controlling the polymerization, polycyclodextrins with linear, hyperbranched, and crosslinked structures have been synthesized. Polycyclodextrins have found significant applications in numerous areas, as adsorbents for removal of organic pollutants, carriers in gene/drug delivery, and for preparation of supramolecular based hydrogels. The focus of this review paper is placed on the synthesis, characterization, and applications of CDs so as to highlight challenges as well as the promising features of the future ahead of material developments based on CDs.

Abstract
Cyclodextrins (CD) are a group of cyclic oligosaccharides with a cavity/specific structure that enables to form inclusion complexes (IC) with a variety of molecules through non-covalent host-guest interactions. By an elegant combination of CD with biocompatible, synthetic and natural polymers, different types of universal drug delivery systems with dynamic/reversible properties have been generated. This review presents the design of nano- and micro-carriers, hydrogels, and fibres based on the polymer/CD supramolecular systems highlighting their possible biomedical applications. Application of the most prominent hydrophobic aliphatic polyesters that exhibit biodegradability, represented by polylactide and polycaprolactone, is described first. Subsequently, particular attention is focused on materials obtained from hydrophilic polyethylene oxide. Moreover, examples are also presented for grafting of CD on polysaccharides. In summary, we show the application of host-guest interactions in multi-component functional biomaterials for controlled drug delivery.

Abstract
Gene therapy holds great promise for various medical and biomedical applications. Nonviral gene delivery systems formed by cationic polymer and nucleic acids (e.g., polyplexes) have been extensively investigated for targeted gene therapy; however, their in vitro and in vivo stability is affected by both their intrinsic properties such as chemical compositions (e.g., polymer molecular weight and structure, and N/P ratio) and a number of environmental factors (e.g., shear stress during circulation in the bloodstream, interaction with the serum proteins, and physiological ionic strength). In this review, we surveyed the effects of a number of important intrinsic and environmental factors on the stability of polymeric gene delivery systems, and discussed various strategies to enhance the stability of polymeric gene delivery systems, thereby enabling efficient gene delivery into target cells. Future opportunities and challenges of polymeric nucleic acid delivery nanosystems were also briefly discussed.

Abstract
Dye wastewater is one of the most important problems to be faced and solved in wastewater treatment. However, the treatment cannot be single and simple adsorption due to the complexity of dye species. In this work, we prepared novel composite fiber adsorbent materials consisting of ε-polycaprolactone (PCL) and beta-cyclodextrin-based polymer (PCD) by electrospinning. The morphological and spectral characterization demonstrated the successful preparation of a series of composite fibers with different mass ratios. The obtained fiber materials have demonstrated remarkable selective adsorption for MB and 4-aminoazobenzene solutions. The addition of a PCD component in composite fibers enhanced the mechanical strength of membranes and changed the adsorption uptake due to the cavity molecular structure via host⁻guest interaction. The dye removal efficiency could reach 24.1 mg/g towards 4-aminoazobenzene. Due to the admirable stability and selectivity adsorption process, the present prepared beta-cyclodextrin-based composite fibers have demonstrated potential large-scale applications in dye uptake and wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The excellent physical and chemical properties of cyclodextrin polymer (poly-CD)/azobenzene-modified polyacrylic acid (PAA-Azo) binary composite hydrogels have been designed and prepared. The prepared hydrogels were subjected to a variety of characterizations, including scanning electron microscopy, ultraviolet spectroscopy, circular dichroism spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, rheological properties, and specific surface area tests. It was found that the obtained hydrogels have the cross-linked three-dimensional porous network nanostructures, and the formed composite poly-CD/PAA-Azo hydrogel can basically be shear thinned and have good recovery performance. A process of gel-sol transition can occur when the gel has a stimulatory response under UV light irradiation. In addition, such excellent properties of hydrogels exhibit different mechanisms in the adsorption of organic molecules that are harmful to the environment, such as bisphenol A (BPA) and methylene blue (MB). The polymeric hydrogel serves as novel adsorbent agents to adsorb BPA via host-guest interaction and anchor MB via electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonding.

Abstract
Materials that interact with light and subsequently change their physicochemical properties are of great interest for drug delivery. The human body is semitransparent to light of the near-infrared (NIR) region, which makes it possible to use light as an external stimulus to trigger drug release. In this chapter, we review light-triggered drug release systems of both photochemical and photothermal mechanisms. We explore recent literature on a variety of light-responsive materials for drug delivery, including organic, inorganic, and hybrid systems, which collectively embody the strategies for synergizing light responsiveness for controlled drug release/activation with other drug delivery techniques.

Abstract
Light as an external stimulus can be precisely manipulated in terms of irradiation time, site, wavelength, and density. As such, photoresponsive drug/gene delivery systems have been increasingly pursued and utilized for the spatiotemporal control of drug/gene delivery to enhance their therapeutic efficacy and safety. In this review, we summarized the recent research progress on photoresponsive drug/gene delivery, and two major categories of delivery systems were discussed. The first category is the direct responsive systems that experience photoreactions on the vehicle or drug themselves, and different materials as well as chemical structures responsive to UV, visible, and NIR light are summarized. The second category is the indirect responsive systems that require a light-generated mediator signal, such as heat, ROS, hypoxia, and gas molecules, to cascadingly trigger the structural transformation. The future outlook and challenges are also discussed at the end.

[PMID: 30965853 PMCID: PMC6418643 DOI: 10.3390/polym9110553] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2017] [Revised: 10/23/2017] [Accepted: 10/24/2017] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
This review provides an overview of the syntheses of photosensitive layer-by-layer (LbL) films and microcapsules modified with azobenzene derivatives and their biomedical applications. Photosensitive LbL films and microcapsules can be prepared by alternate deposition of azobenzene-bearing polymers and counter polymers on the surface of flat substrates and microparticles, respectively. Azobenzene residues in the films and microcapsules exhibit trans-to-cis photoisomerization under UV light, which causes changes in the physical or chemical properties of the LbL assemblies. Therefore, azobenzene-functionalized LbL films and microcapsules have been used for the construction of photosensitive biomedical devices. For instance, cell adhesion on the surface of a solid can be controlled by UV light irradiation by coating the surface with azobenzene-containing LbL films. In another example, the ion permeability of porous materials coated with LbL films can be regulated by UV light irradiation. Furthermore, azobenzene-containing LbL films and microcapsules have been used as carriers for drug delivery systems sensitive to light. UV light irradiation triggers permeability changes in the LbL films and/or decomposition of the microcapsules, which results in the release of encapsulated drugs and proteins.
