Abstract
N-carboxyanhydride ring-opening polymerization-induced self-assembly (NCA ROPISA) offers a convenient route for generating poly(amino acid)-based nanoparticles in a single step, crucially avoiding the need for post-polymerization self-assembly. Most examples of NCA ROPISA make use of a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrophilic stabilizing block, however this non-biodegradable, oil-derived polymer may cause an immunological response in some individuals. Alternative water-soluble polymers are therefore highly sought. This work reports the synthesis of wholly poly(amino acid)-based nanoparticles, through the chain-extension of a polysarcosine macroinitiator with L-Phenylalanine-NCA (L-Phe-NCA) and Alanine-NCA (Ala-NCA), via aqueous NCA ROPISA. The resulting polymeric structures comprise of predominantly anisotropic, rod-like nanoparticles, with morphologies primarily influenced by the secondary structure of the hydrophobic poly(amino acid) that enables their formation.

Abstract
Polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) is a powerful and versatile technique for producing colloidal dispersions of block copolymer particles with desired morphologies. Currently, PISA can be carried out in various media, over a wide range of temperatures, and using different mechanisms. This method enables the production of biodegradable objects and particles with various functionalities and stimuli sensitivity. Consequently, PISA offers a broad spectrum of potential commercial applications. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the current state of rational synthesis of block copolymer particles with diverse morphologies using various PISA techniques and mechanisms. The discussion begins with an examination of the main thermodynamic, kinetic, and structural aspects of block copolymer micellization, followed by an exploration of the key principles of PISA in the formation of gradient and block copolymers. The review also delves into the main mechanisms of PISA implementation and the principles governing particle morphology. Finally, the potential future developments in PISA are considered.

Group-Transfer Polymerization-Induced Self-Assembly (GTPISA) in Non-polar Media: An Organocatalyzed Route to Block Copolymer Nanoparticles at Room Temperature. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202305945. [PMID: 37403785 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202305945] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2023] [Revised: 06/21/2023] [Accepted: 07/03/2023] [Indexed: 07/06/2023]
Abstract
Polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) enables the synthesis at large scale of a wide variety of functional nanoparticles. However, a large number of works are related to controlled radical polymerization (CRP) methods and are generally undertaken at elevated temperatures (>50 °C). Here is the first report on methacrylate-based nanoparticles fabricated by group transfer polymerization-induced self-assembly (GTPISA) in non-polar media (n-heptane). This GTPISA process is achieved at room temperature (RT) using 1-methoxy-1-(trimethylsiloxy)-2-methylprop-1-ene (MTS) and tetrabutylammonium bis-benzoate (TBABB) as initiator and organic catalyst, respectively. Under these conditions, well-defined metal-free and colorless diblock copolymers are produced with efficient crossover from the non-polar stabilizing poly(lauryl methacrylate) (PLMA) block to the non-soluble poly(benzyl methacrylate) (PBzMA) segment. The resulting PLMA-b-PBzMA block copolymers simultaneously self-assemble into nanostructures of various sizes and morphologies. GTPISA in non-polar solvent proceeds rapidly at RT and avoids the use of sulfur or halogenated compounds or metallic catalysts associated with the implementation of CRP methods, thus expanding the potential of PISA formulations for applications in non-polar environments.

Abstract
Organic-inorganic nanocomposite particles, possessing defined morphologies, represent the next frontier in advanced materials due to their superior collective performance. In this pursuit of efficient preparation of composite nanoparticles, a series of diblock polymers polystyrene-block-poly(tert-butyl acrylate) (PS-b-PtBA) were initially synthesized using the Living Anionic Polymerization-Induced Self-Assembly (LAP PISA) technique. Subsequently, the tert-butyl group on the tert-butyl acrylate (tBA) monomer unit in the diblock copolymer, yielded from the LAP PISA process, was subjected to hydrolysis using trifluoroacetic acid (CF3COOH), transforming it into carboxyl groups. This resulted in the formation of polystyrene-block-poly(acrylic acid) (PS-b-PAA) nano-self-assembled particles of various morphologies. The pre-hydrolysis diblock copolymer PS-b-PtBA produced nano-self-assembled particles of irregular shapes, whereas post-hydrolysis regular spherical and worm-like nano-self-assembled particles were generated. Utilizing PS-b-PAA nano-self-assembled particles that containing carboxyl groups as polymer templates, Fe3O4 was integrated into the core region of the nano-self-assembled particles. This was achieved based on the complexation between the carboxyl groups on the PAA segments and the metal precursors, facilitating the successful synthesis of organic-inorganic composite nanoparticles with Fe3O4 as the core and PS as the shell. These magnetic nanoparticles hold potential applications as functional fillers in the plastic and rubber sectors.

Abstract
Living anionic polymerization will soon celebrate 70 years of existence. This living polymerization is considered the mother of all living and controlled/living polymerizations since it paved the way for their discovery. It provides methodologies for synthesizing polymers with absolute control of the essential parameters that affect polymer properties, including molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, composition and microstructure, chain-end/in-chain functionality, and architecture. This precise control of living anionic polymerization generated tremendous fundamental and industrial research activities, developing numerous important commodity and specialty polymers. In this Perspective, we present the high importance of living anionic polymerization of vinyl monomers by providing some examples of its significant achievements, presenting its current status, giving several insights into where it is going (Quo Vadis) and what the future holds for this powerful synthetic method. Furthermore, we attempt to explore its advantages and disadvantages compared to controlled/living radical polymerizations, the main competitors of living carbanionic polymerization.

Abstract
Although the preparation of nano-objects by emulsifier-free controlled/living radical emulsion polymerization has drawn much attention, the morphologies of these formed objects are difficult to predict and to reproduce because of the much more complex nucleation mechanisms of emulsion polymerization compared to only one self-assembling nucleation mechanism of controlled radical dispersion polymerization. The present study compares dispersion polymerization with emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization in terms of nucleation mechanism, polymerization kinetics, and disappearance behavior of the macrochain transfer agent, gel permeation chromatograms curves of the obtained block copolymer as well as the structural and morphological differences between the produced nano-objects on the basis of published data. Moreover, the effects of the inherently heterogeneous nature of emulsion polymerization on the mechanism of reversible addition-fragmentation transfer polymerization and the nano-object morphology are examined, and efficient agitation and adequate solubility of the core-forming monomer in water are identified as the most crucial factors for the fabrication of nonspherical nano-objects.

Abstract
Responsive Pickering emulsions exhibit promising application in industry owing to the integration of the high storage stability with on-demand demulsification. In this study, stimuli-responsive Pickering emulsions stabilized by poly[oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate]15-b-poly(diacetone acrylamide)120 (E15D120) worms were indicated, in which E15D120 worms were prepared via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer-based aqueous dispersion polymerization using thermo-sensitive POEGMA15 as both the stabilizer block and macro-chain transfer agent. The factors influencing the morphologies of copolymers during polymerization-induced self assembly have been investigated. A series of different morphological polymer nanoparticles including spheres, worms, and vesicles could be produced through rational synthesis. E15D120 worms demonstrated excellent emulsifying performances and could be used as emulsifiers to form n-dodecane-in-water Pickering emulsions at a low content. The formed n-dodecane-in-water Pickering emulsions revealed a slow demulsification at pH 10 or 70 °C or pH 10/70 °C combinations, and several hours were needed for the demulsification of Pickering emulsions. However, n-dodecane-in-water Pickering emulsions displayed a rapid demulsification (∼10 min) at an elevated temperature, such as 90 °C. The different demulsification rates were attributed to different sensitivities of E15D120 worms to external stimuli. Pickering emulsions integrating a rapid responsive demulsification with a slow one would be well satisfactory on different occasions.

Direct Access to Polysaccharide-Based Vesicles with a Tunable Membrane Thickness in a Large Concentration Window via Polymerization-Induced Self-Assembly. Biomacromolecules 2021; 22:3128-3137.

Abstract
Polymersomes are multicompartmental vesicular nano-objects obtained by self-assembly of amphiphilic copolymers. When prepared in the aqueous phase, they are composed of a hydrophobic bilayer enclosing water. Although such fascinating polymeric nano-objects have been widely reported with synthetic block copolymers, their formation from polysaccharide-based copolymers remains a significant challenge. In the present study, the powerful platform technology known as polymerization-induced self-assembly was used to prepare in situ pure vesicles from a polysaccharide-grafted copolymer: dextran-g-poly(2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate) (Dex-g-PHPMA). The growth of the PHPMA grafts was performed with a dextran-based macromolecular chain transfer agent in water at 20 °C using photomediated reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer polymerization at 405 nm. Transmission electron microscopy, cryogenic electron microscopy, small-angle X-ray scattering, atomic force microscopy, and dynamic light scattering revealed that amphiphilic Dex-g-PHPMAX = 100-300 (X is the targeted average degree of polymerization, Xn̅, of each graft at full conversion) exhibit remarkable self-assembly behavior. On the one hand, vesicles were obtained over a wide range of solid concentrations (from 2.5% to 13.5% w/w), which can facilitate posterior targeting of such rare morphology. On the other hand, the extension of Xn̅ induces an increase in the vesicle membrane thickness, rather than a morphological evolution (spherical micelles to cylinders to vesicles).

Abstract
In this work we constructed a detailed phase diagram for the solutions of ideal diblock-copolymers and compared such diagram with that obtained during polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA); a wide range of polymer concentrations as well as chain compositions was studied. As the length of the solvophobic block nB increases (the length of the solvophilic block nA was fixed), the transition from spherical micelles to cylinders and further to vesicles (lamellae) occurs. We observed a rather wide transition region between the spherical and cylindrical morphology in which the system contains a mixture of spheres and short cylinders, which appear to be in dynamic equilibrium; the transition between the cylinders and vesicles was found to be rather sharp. Next, upon increasing the polymer concentration in the system, the transition region between the spheres and cylinders shifts towards lower nB/nA values; a similar shift but with less magnitude was observed for the transition between the cylinders and vesicles. Such behavior was attributed to the increased number of contacts between the micelles at higher polymer volume concentrations. We also found that the width of the stability region of the cylindrical micelles for small polymer volume concentrations is in good quantitative agreement with the predictions of analytical theory. The obtained phase diagram for PISA was similar to the case of presynthesized diblock copolymer; however, the positions of the transition lines for PISA are slightly shifted towards higher nB/nA values in comparison to the presynthesized diblock copolymers, which is more pronounced for the case of the cylinders-to-vesicles transition. We believe that the reason for such behavior is the polydispersity of the core-forming blocks: The presence of the short and long blocks being located at the micelle interface and in its center, respectively, helps to reduce the entropy losses due to the insoluble block stretching, which leads to the increased stability of more curved micelles.
