Abstract
Polymer prodrugs are based on the covalent linkage of therapeutic molecules to a polymer structure which avoids the problems and limitations commonly encountered with traditional drug-loaded nanocarriers in which drugs are just physically entrapped (e.g., burst release, poor drug loadings). In the past few years, reversible-deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) techniques have been extensively used to design tailor-made polymer prodrug nanocarriers. This synthesis strategy has received a lot of attention due to the possibility of fine tuning their structural parameters (e.g., polymer nature and macromolecular characteristics, linker nature, physico-chemical properties, functionalization, etc.), to achieve optimized drug delivery and therapeutic efficacy. In particular, adjusting the nature of the drug-polymer linker has enabled the easy synthesis of stimuli-responsive polymer prodrugs for efficient spatiotemporal drug release. In this context, this review article will give an overview of the different stimuli-sensitive polymer prodrug structures designed by RDRP techniques, with a strong focus on the synthesis strategies, the macromolecular architectures and in particular the drug-polymer linker, which governs the drug release kinetics and eventually the therapeutic effect. Their biological evaluations will also be discussed.

Abstract
Polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) has emerged as a scalable one-pot technique to prepare block copolymer (BCP) nanoparticles. Recently, a PISA process, that results in poly(l-lactide)-b-poly(ethylene glycol) BCP nanoparticles coined ring-opening polymerization (ROP)-induced crystallization-driven self-assembly (ROPI-CDSA), was developed. The resulting nanorods demonstrate a strong propensity for aggregation, resulting in the formation of 2D sheets and 3D networks. This article reports the synthesis of poly(N,N-dimethyl acrylamide)-b-poly(l)-lactide BCP nanoparticles by ROPI-CDSA, utilizing a two-step, one-pot approach. A dual-functionalized photoiniferter is first used for controlled radical polymerization of the acrylamido-based monomer, and the resulting polymer serves as a macroinitiator for organocatalyzed ROP to form the solvophobic polyester block. The resulting nanorods are highly stable and display anisotropy at higher molecular weights (>12k Da) and concentrations (>20% solids) than the previous report. This development expands the chemical scope of ROPI-CDSA BCPs and provides readily accessible nanorods made with biocompatible materials.

Abstract
Polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) combines polymerization and in situ self-assembly of block copolymers in one system and has become a widely used method to prepare block copolymer nanoparticles at high concentrations. The persistence of polymers in the environment poses a huge threat to the ecosystem and represents a significant waste of resources. There is an urgent need to develop novel chemical approaches to synthesize degradable polymers. To meet with this demand, it is crucial to install degradability into PISA nanoparticles. Most recently, degradable PISA nanoparticles have been synthesized by introducing degradation mechanisms into either shell-forming or core-forming blocks. This Minireview summarizes the development in degradable block copolymer nanoparticles synthesized by PISA, including shell-degradable, core-degradable, and all-degradable nanoparticles. Future development will benefit from expansion of polymerization techniques with new degradation mechanisms and adaptation of high-throughput approaches for both PISA syntheses and degradation studies.

Abstract
Polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) is conducted in a non-polar medium (n-dodecane) via reversible complexation-mediated polymerization (RCMP). Stearyl methacrylate (SMA) is used to synthesize a macroinitiator, and subsequent block polymerization of benzyl methacrylate (BzMA) from the macroinitiator in n-dodecane afforded a PSMA-PBzMA block copolymer, where PSMA is poly(stearyl methacrylate) and PBzMA is poly(benzyl methacrylate). Because PSMA is soluble but PBzMA is insoluble in n-dodecane, the block copolymer formed a self-assembly during the block polymerization (PISA). Spherical micelles, worms, and vesicles are obtained, depending on the degrees of polymerization of PSMA and PBzMA. "One-pot" PISA is also attained; namely, BzMA is directly added to the reaction mixture of the macroinitiator synthesis, and PISA is conducted in the same pot without purification of the macroinitiator. The spherical micelle and vesicle structures are also fixed using a crosslinkable monomer during PISA. RCMP-PISA is highly attractive as it is odorless and metal-free. The "one-pot" synthesis does not require the purification of the macroinitiator. RCMP-PISA can provide a practical approach to synthesize self-assemblies in non-polar media.

Abstract
Polymer self-assembly has become a reliable and versatile workhorse to produce polymeric nanomaterials. With appropriate polymer design and monomer selection, polymers can assemble into shapes and morphologies beyond well-studied spherical and cylindrical micellar structures. Steadfast access to anisotropic polymer nanoparticles has meant that the fabrication and application of 2D soft matter has received increasing attention in recent years. In this review, we focus on nanoscale polymer discs, toroids, and platelets: three morphologies that are often interrelated and made from similar starting materials or common intermediates. For each morphology, we illustrate design rules, and group and discuss commonly used self-assembly strategies. We further highlight polymer compositions, fundamental principles and self-assembly conditions that enable precision in bottom-up fabrication strategies. Finally, we summarise potential applications of such nanomaterials, especially in the context of biomedical research and template chemistry and elaborate on future endeavours in this space.

Abstract
The decoration of 2D nanostructures using heteroepitaxial growth is of great importance to achieve functional assemblies employed in biomedical, electrical, and mechanical applications. Although the functionalization of polymers before self-assembly has been investigated, the exploration of direct surface modification in the third dimension from 2D nanostructures has, to date, been unexplored. Here, we used living crystallization-driven self-assembly to fabricate poly(ε-caprolactone)-based 2D platelets with controlled size. Importantly, surface modification of the platelets in the third dimension was achieved by using functional monomers and light-induced polymerization. This method allows us to selectively regulate the height and fluorescence properties of the nanostructures. Using this approach, we gained unprecedented spatial control over the surface functionality in the specific region of complex 2D platelets.

Abstract
Compartmentalization is a crucial feature of a natural cell, manifested in cell membrane and inner lumen. Inspired by the cellular structure, multicompartment polymersomes (MCPs), including membrane-compartmentalized polymersomes and lumen-compartmentalized polymersomes (polymersomes-in-polymersomes), have aroused great expectations for biological applications such as biocatalysis and cell mimics in the past decades. Compared with traditional polymersomes, MCPs have advantages in encapsulating multiple enzymes separately for multistep enzymatic cascade reactions. In this review, first, the design principles and preparation methods of membrane-compartmentalized and lumen-compartmentalized polymersomes are summarized. Next, recent advances of MCPs as nanoreactors and cell mimics to mimic subcellular organelles or artificial cells are discussed. Finally, the future research directions of MCPs are prospected.

Abstract
Over the past decade, polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) has fully proved its versatility for scale-up production of block copolymer nanoparticles with tunable sizes and morphologies; yet, there are still some limitations. Recently, seeded PISA approaches combing PISA with heterogeneous seeded polymerizations have been greatly explored and are expected to overcome the limitations of traditional PISA. In this review, recent advances in seeded PISA that have expanded new horizons for PISA are highlighted including i) general considerations for seeded PISA (e.g., kinetics, the preparation of seeds, the selection of monomers), ii) morphological evolution induced by seeded PISA (e.g., from corona-shell-core nanoparticles to vesicles, vesicles-to-toroid, disassembly of vesicles into nanospheres), and iii) various well-defined nanoparticles with hierarchical and sophisticated morphologies (e.g., multicompartment micelles, porous vesicles, framboidal vesicles, AXn -type colloidal molecules). Finally, new insights into seeded PISA and future perspectives are proposed.

Abstract
Most nanoparticles produced for drug delivery purposes are spherical. However, the literature suggests that elongated particles are advantageous, notably in terms of cellular uptake. Thus, we synthesized biocompatible polylactide-b-poly(ethylene glycol) (PLA-PEG) polymers bearing carboxylate moieties, and used them to formulate worm-like nanoparticles by a simple emulsion-evaporation process. Worm-like nanoparticles with variable aspect ratio were obtained by simply adjusting the molar mass of the PLA block: the shorter the molar mass of the PLA block, the more elongated the particles. As PLA molar mass decreased from 80,000 g/mol to 13,000 g/mol, the proportion of worm-like nanoparticles increased from 0 to 46%, in contradiction with the usual behavior of block polymers based on their packing parameter. To explain this unusual phenomenon, we hypothesized the shape arises from a combination of steric and electrostatic repulsions between PEG chains bearing a carboxylate moiety present at the dichloromethane-water interface during the evaporation process. Worm-like particles turned out to be unstable when incubated at 37 °C, above polymer glass transition temperature. Indeed, above Tg, a Plateau-Rayleigh instability occurs, leading to the division of the worm-like particles into spheres. However, this instability was slow enough to assess worm-like particles uptake by murine macrophages. A slight but significant increase of internalization was observed for worm-like particles, compared to their spherical counterparts, confirming the interest of developing biocompatible anisotropic nanoparticles for pharmaceutical applications such as drug delivery.

Abstract
Fluorine-19 magnetic resonance imaging (19F MRI) probes have received considerable research interest as imaging contrast agents (CAs), but they remain neglected and underutilized due to the limited fluorine content or poor performance of fluorinated tracers. Here, we present polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) as 19F MRI CAs with a simple synthesis method and promising imaging performance. First, hydrophilic random copolymers were synthesized from oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether acrylate and perfluoropolyether methacrylate by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The optimal fluorine content, polymer concentration, and cytotoxicity as 19F MRI CAs were investigated in detail. Then, the optimal copolymer was selected as the macromolecular chain transfer agent, and the chain extension was performed with 2-(perfluorooctyl ethyl methacrylate). Subsequently, the NPs with different morphologies, such as ellipsoidal, spherical nanoparticles and vesicles, were prepared in situ by the RAFT-mediated polymerization-induced self-assembly method. In addition, the 19F MRI signal and cytotoxicity studies further confirmed that these polymeric NPs are nontoxic and have great potential as promising 19F MRI CAs for biological applications.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is always characterized as excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) inside articular cavity. Mimicking natural metalloenzymes with metal ions as the active centers, stable metal organic framework (MOF) formed by natural polyphenols and metal ions shows great potential in alleviating inflammatory diseases. Herein, a series of novel copper-morin-based MOF (CuMHs) with different molar ratios of Cu2+ and MH were employed to serve as ROS scavengers for OA therapy. As a result, CuMHs exhibited enhanced dispersion in aqueous solution, improved biocompatibility, and efficient ROS-scavenging ability compared to MH. On the basis of H2O2-stimulated chondrocytes, intracellular ROS levels were efficiently declined and cell death was prevented after treated by Cu6MH (Cu2+ and MH molar ratio of 6:1). Meanwhile, Cu6MH also exhibited efficient antioxidant and anti-inflammation function by down-regulating the expression of IL6, MMP13, and MMP3, and up-regulating cartilage specific gene expression as well. Importantly, Cu6MH could repair mitochondrial function by increasing mitochondrial membrane potential, reducing the accumulation of calcium ions, as well as promoting ATP content production. In OA joint model, intra-articular (IA) injected Cu6MH suppressed the progression of OA. It endowed that Cu6MH might be promising nanoenzymes for the prevention and treatment of various inflammatory diseases.
