Abstract
Multicompartment particles have been produced to date by the self-assembly of linear multiblock polymers. Besides the large diversity of structures that can be obtained with this approach, these are highly sensitive to dilution and environmental factors. Here we show that using core-shell bottlebrush polymers with a hydrophobic polyester core as starting materials it is possible to create compartmentalized particles from the micrometer size down to the molecular scale. These polymers can be used as building blocks to create multicompartment particles and networks via a self-assembly process. The polymers can encapsulate active compounds and slowly degrade in water into polymeric micelles, making them promising materials for drug delivery applications.

Abstract
The present study reports the preparation of poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PEO-b-PCL) polymer vesicles via a nanoprecipitation method and the loading of two different size hydrophobically coated ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO) nanoparticles (a magnetic core size of 4.2 nm and 7.6 nm) into the membrane of these nanovesicles, whose thickness was measured precisely by small angle neutron scattering (SANS). Spherical nano-assemblies with a high USPIO payload and a diameter close to 150 nm were obtained as confirmed by dynamic light scattering (DLS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and cryo-TEM. The vesicular structure of these hybrid nano-assemblies was confirmed by multi-angle light scattering (MALS) measurements. Their magnetic properties were evaluated by T1 and T2 measurements (20 and 60 MHz) and by nuclear magnetic relaxation dispersion (NMRD) profiles. The size of USPIO entrapped in the membranes of PEO-b-PCL vesicles has a strong impact on their magnetic properties. It affects both their longitudinal and their transverse relaxivities and thus their magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sensitivity. Acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of the PCL membrane also influences their relaxivities as shown by measurements carried out at pH 7 vs. pH 5. This property was used to monitor the membrane hydrolytic degradation in vitro, as a proof of concept of potential monitoring of drug delivery by nanomedicines in vivo and non-invasively, by MRI.

Polymers (Basel) 2020; 12:polym12061252.

Abstract
Well-defined amphiphilic, biocompatible and partially biodegradable, thermo-responsive poly(N-vinylcaprolactam)-b-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PNVCL-b-PCL) block copolymers were synthesized by combining reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) and ring-opening polymerizations (ROP). Poly(N-vinylcaprolactam) containing xanthate and hydroxyl end groups (X–PNVCL–OH) was first synthesized by RAFT/macromolecular design by the interchange of xanthates (RAFT/MADIX) polymerization of NVCL mediated by a chain transfer agent containing a hydroxyl function. The xanthate-end group was then removed from PNVCL by a radical-induced process. Finally, the hydroxyl end-capped PNVCL homopolymer was used as a macroinitiator in the ROP of ε-caprolactone (ε-CL) to obtain PNVCL-b-PCL block copolymers. These (co)polymers were characterized by Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC), Fourier-Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (1H NMR), UV–vis and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) measurements. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) of the block copolymers in aqueous solution measured by the fluorescence probe technique decreased with increasing the length of the hydrophobic block. However, dynamic light scattering (DLS) demonstrated that the size of the micelles increased with increasing the proportion of hydrophobic segments. The morphology observed by cryo-TEM demonstrated that the micelles have a pointed-oval-shape. UV–vis and DLS analyses showed that these block copolymers have a temperature-responsive behavior with a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) that could be tuned by varying the block copolymer composition.

Abstract
The application of nanoparticles comprising amphiphilic block copolymers for the delivery of drugs is a subject of great interest as they hold promise for more effective and selective therapies. In order to achieve this ambition, it is of critical importance to develop our understanding of the self-assembly mechanisms by which block copolymers undergo so that we can control their morphology, tune their ability to be loaded with biofunctional cargoes, and optimize their interactions with target cells. To this end, we have developed a strategy by which blends of (biocompatible) amphiphilic block copolymers generate nonspherical nanovectors, simultaneously enhancing drug loading without the need for subsequent purification owing to the use of the biocompatible direct hydration approach. The principal morphology achieved using this blending strategy are wormlike nanovectors (nanoworms, NWs), with an elongated form known to have a profound effect on flow behavior and interactions with cells. Unloaded nanoworms are not toxic toward human retinal (ARPE-19) cells and can be effectively endocytosed even after varying the surface charge. In terms of drug loading, we demonstrate that uptake of dexamethasone (DEX; a clinically relevant therapeutic agent) in nanoworms (DEX@NWs) can be enhanced using this process, increasing drug content up to 0.5 mg/mL (10 wt % in particles). Furthermore, such nanoworms are stable for at least 5 months and are, therefore, a promising platform for nanomedicine applications.
