Abstract
The successful use of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for clinical development of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines marked a breakthrough in mRNA-LNP therapeutics. As one of the vital components of LNPs, poly(ethylene glycol)-lipid conjugates (PEG-lipids) influence particle biophysical properties and stability, as well as interactions within biological environments. Reports suggesting that anti-PEG antibodies can be detected quite commonly within the human population raise concerns that PEG content in commercial LNP products could further stimulate immune responses to PEG. The presence of anti-PEG antibodies has been linked to accelerated clearance of LNPs, potentially a source of variability in the biological response to mRNA-LNP products. This motivated us to explore potential PEG alternatives. Herein, we report physicochemical and biological properties of mRNA-LNPs assembled using poly(2-oxazoline) (POx)- and poly(2-oxazine) (POz)-based polymer-lipid conjugates. Notably, we investigated monoacyl lipids as alternatives to diacyl lipids. mRNA-LNPs produced using monoacyl POx/POz-lipids displayed comparable biophysical characteristics and cytocompatibility. Delivery of reporter mRNA resulted in similar transfection efficiencies, in both adherent and suspension cells, and in mice, compared to PEG-lipid equivalents. Our results suggest that monoacyl POx/POz-lipid-containing LNPs are promising candidates for the development of PEG-free LNP-based therapeutic products.

Abstract
Poly(2-oxazoline)s (POZs) are widely investigated for their applications in various fields due to their unique properties. To exploit and combine different characteristics of the POZ family, 2-oxazoline monomers can be copolymerized to prepare tailor-made copolymers with the desired glass transition temperature (T g), melting temperature (T m), amphiphilicity, and functionality. Here, we report the synthesis and characterization of 2-oxazoline monomers and a range of POZ copolymers produced, thereof. 2-Propyl-2-oxazoline (PrOZ) and 2-pentyl-2-oxazoline (PeOZ) monomers were synthesized by two different methods starting from nitriles or carboxylic acids. A number of POZ copolymers were synthesized by copolymerization of 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline (EOZ) with either one of PrOZ, PeOZ, or 2-phenyl-2-oxazoline (PhOZ) at three different compositions (25:75, 50:50, and 75:25) and three molecular weights (1000, 2000, and 5000 Da). The successful synthesis of the monomers and copolymers was demonstrated through their structural analysis by 1H NMR and FTIR. SEC results confirmed the targeted molar masses of the copolymers and living nature of the polymerization by showing low dispersity values. Thermal properties of the copolymers were studied using DSC and TGA. DSC studies revealed the amorph and random state of the copolymers with obtained T g values for the copolymers in the range of -3 to 84 °C depending on their molecular weight and type of the side chain. While the presence of longer aliphatic side chains resulted in lower T g values, the presence of 2-phenyl substituents on the polymer led to higher T g values. The decomposition temperatures determined by TGA were in the range of 328 to 383 °C depending on the molecular weight, composition, and side chain of the copolymers. It was observed that higher molecular weights led to higher T g values and decomposition temperatures. While copolymers with aliphatic side chains exhibited a single-step decomposition profile, the decomposition of copolymers having aromatic side chains occurred in multiple steps. The variations in the molecular weight, composition, and side chains of the copolymers resulted in a library of tailorable amphiphilic copolymers suitable for multiple applications ranging from biomedical applications to composite manufacturing.

Abstract
We design and synthesize a set of homologous organic molecules by taking advantage of facile and tailorable Suzuki cross coupling reactions to produce triarylbenzene derivatives. By adjusting the number and the arrangement of conjugated rings, the identity of heteroatoms, lengths of fluorinated alkyl chains, and other interaction parameters, we create a library of glassformers with a wide range of properties. Measurements of the glass transition temperature (Tg) show a power-law relationship between Tg and molecular weight (MW), with of the molecules, with an exponent of 0.3 ± 0.1, for Tg values spanning a range of 300-450 K. The trends in indices of refraction and expansion coefficients indicate a general increase in the glass density with MW, consistent with the trends observed in Tg variations. A notable exception to these trends was observed with the addition of alkyl and fluorinated alkyl groups, which significantly reduced Tg and increased the dynamical fragility (which is otherwise insensitive to MW). This is an indication of reduced density and increased packing frustrations in these systems, which is also corroborated by the observations of the decreasing index of refraction with increasing length of these groups. These data were used to launch a new database for glassforming materials, glass.apps.sas.upenn.edu.

Abstract
Water-soluble poly(cyclic imino ether)s (PCIEs) have emerged as promising biocompatible polymers for nanomedicine applications in recent years. Despite their generally accepted stealth properties, there has been no comprehensive evaluation of their interactions with primary immune cells in human blood. Here we present a library of core cross-linked micelles (CCMs) containing various PCIE shells. Well-defined high molar mass CCMs (Mn > 175 kDa, Ð < 1.2) of similar diameter (~20 nm) were synthesised using a cationic ring-opening polymerisation (CROP) - surfactant-free reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) emulsion polymerisation strategy. The stealth properties of the different PCIE CCMs were assessed employing a whole human blood assay simulating the complex blood environment. Cell association studies revealed lower associations of poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline) (PMeOx) and poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) (PEtOx) CCMs with blood immune cells compared to the respective poly(2-oxazine) (POz) CCMs. Noteworthy, PMeOx CCMs outperformed all other reported CCMs, showing overall low associations and only negligible differences in the presence and absence of serum proteins. This study highlights the importance of investigating individual nanomaterials under physiologically relevant conditions and further strengthens the position of PMeOx as a highly promising stealth material for biomedical applications.

Abstract
A known limitation of polymer micelles for the formulation of hydrophobic drugs is their low loading capacity (LC), which rarely exceeds 20 wt%. One general strategy to overcome this limitation is to increase the amphiphilic contrast, that is, to make the hydrophobic core of the micelles more hydrophobic. However, in the case of poly(2-oxazoline) (POx)-based amphiphilic triblock copolymers, a minimal amphiphilic contrast was reported to be beneficial. Here, this subject is revisited in more detail using long hydrophobic side chains that are either linear (nonyl) or branched (3-ethylheptyl). Two different backbones within the hydrophobic block are investigated, in particular POx and poly(2-oxazine) (POzi), for the solubilization and co-solubilization of the two highly water insoluble compounds, curcumin and paclitaxel. Even though high loading capacities can be achieved for curcumin using POzi-based triblock copolymers, the solubilization capacity of all investigated polymers with longer side chains is significantly lower compared to POx and poly(2-oxazine)s with shorter side chains. Although the even lower LC for paclitaxel can be somehow improved by co-formulating curcumin, this study corroborates that in the case of POx and POzi-based polymer micelles, an increased amphiphilic contrast leads to less drug solubilization.

Abstract
Unlike any other polymer class, the (co-)poly(2-oxazoline)s have tremendously benefited from the introduction of microwave reactors into chemical laboratories. This review focuses on the research activities in the area of (co-)poly(2-oxazoline)s prepared by microwave-assisted syntheses and, correspondingly, summarizes the current-state-of the-art of the microwave-assisted synthesis of 2-oxazoline monomers and the microwave-assisted ring-opening (co-)polymerization of 2-oxazolines as well as prominent examples of post-polymerization modification of (co-)poly(2-oxazoline)s. Special attention is attributed to the kinetic analysis of the microwave-assisted polymerization of 2-oxazolines and the discussion of non-thermal microwave effects.
