Abstract
There has been growing interest in polymeric systems that break down or undergo property changes in response to stimuli. Such polymers can play important roles in biological systems, where they can be used to control the release of therapeutics, modulate imaging signals, actuate movement, or direct the growth of cells. In this Perspective, after discussing the most important stimuli relevant to biological applications, we will present a selection of recent exciting developments. The growing importance of stimuli-responsive polysaccharides will be discussed, followed by a variety of stimuli-responsive polymeric systems for the delivery of small molecule drugs and nucleic acids. Switchable polymers for the emerging area of therapeutic response measurement in theranostics will be described. Then, the diverse functions that can be achieved using hydrogels cross-linked covalently, as well as by various dynamic approaches will be presented. Finally, we will discuss some of the challenges and future perspectives for the field.

Abstract
Shape transformation of polymer particles is generally a nonequilibrium dynamics process. Controlling the shape transformation of polymers is increasingly attractive and challenging for scientists due to their extensive use in drug delivery and cancer therapy. Herein, we investigated the UV-triggered shape transformation pathway of polymeric vesicles assembled from Polystyrene-block-poly(4-vinylpyridine) and 4-hydroxyazobenzene (PS-b-P4VP(Azo-OH)) and the direct assembly pathway of UV-irradiated PS-b-P4VP(Azo-OH) homogeneous solution. In the shape transformation process, well-assembled vesicles can be transformed into toroid, cylindrical, rod-like, and spherical micelles. In the direct assembly pathway, rod-like and spherical micelles can be obtained. Interestingly, the toroid micelles can be obtained only from the UV-triggered shape transformation pathway. Contrasting the two pathways reveals the pathway dependence of PS-b-P4VP(Azo-OH) assembly, suggesting that the final assembly morphology is determined by the initial state and dynamic process. The speed of UV-triggered shape transformation and the final morphology of assemblies can be tuned easily by adjusting the UV illuminance, time, and content of Azo-OH addition. Moreover, the light-responsive polymeric vesicles can be used as drug carriers and have the potential to release drugs precisely.

Abstract
Polymeric vesicles present great potential in disease treatment as they can be featured as a structurally stable and easily functionalized drug carrier that can simultaneously encapsulate multiple drugs and release them on-demand. Based on the dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulation, the drug-loaded vesicles were designed by the co-assembly process of linear amphiphilic triblock copolymers and hydrophobic nanodrugs in solvents, and most importantly, the drug release behavior of drug-loaded vesicles were intensively investigated. The drug-loaded aggregates, such as vesicles, spherical micelles, and disk-like micelles, were observed by varying the size and concentration of nanodrugs and the length of the hydrophobic block. The distribution of nanodrugs in the vesicles was intensively analyzed. As the size of the nanodrugs increases, the localization of nanodrugs change from being unable to fully wrap in the vesicle wall to the uniform distribution and finally to the aggregation in the vesicles at the fixed concentration of nanodrugs. The membrane thickness of the drug-loaded polymeric vesicle can be increased, and the nanodrugs localized closer to the center of the vesicle by increasing the length of the hydrophobic block. The nanodrugs will be released from vesicles by varying the interactions between the nanodrug and the solvent or the hydrophobic block and the solvent, respectively. We found that the release kinetics conforms to the first-order kinetic model, which can be used to fit the cumulative release rate of nanodrugs over time. The results showed that increasing the size of nanodrugs, the length of hydrophobic block, and the interaction parameters between the hydrophobic block and the solvent will slow down the release rate of the nanodrug and change the drug release process from monophasic to biphasic release model.

Abstract
Post-encapsulation and release of the anticancer drug doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX·HCl) through cell-like transmission functions of polymeric vesicles were studied using cross-linked pH-responsive polymeric vesicles. The vesicles were fabricated for the first time via the redox-initiated reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer dispersion polymerization in ethanol-water mixture, using 2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl methacrylate and glycidyl methacrylate, and the vesicle membrane was modified post-cross-linking by using ethylenediamine. A phase diagram was constructed for reproducible fabrication of the polymeric vesicles, and well-shaped vesicles were formed when the target degree of polymerization of the hydrophobic polymer chains was equal to or higher than 50 with solid content in the range of 10-30 wt%. The cross-linked vesicle membrane served as a gate enabling "open" and "closed" states in response to pH stimulation. Up to 50% drug loading efficiency and 39% drug loading content could be achieved, and in vitro release of the DOX-loaded vesicles in aqueous buffer solutions showed a much faster DOX release rate at pH 5.0 than at pH 6.5. The polymeric vesicles were of very low cytotoxicity to A549 cells up to the concentration of 2 mg/mL, and the IC50 of DOX-loaded vesicles were higher than that of the free DOX. The intracellular DOX release study indicated higher cellular uptake capability for DOX-loaded vesicles than that of free DOX.

Abstract
Polymersomes have been extensively investigated for drug delivery as nanocarriers for two decades due to a series of advantages including high stability under physiological conditions, simultaneous encapsulation of hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs inside inner cavities and membranes, respectively, and facile adjustment of membrane and surface properties, as well as controlled drug release through incorporation of stimuli-responsive components. Despite these features, polymersome nanocarriers frequently suffer from nontargeting delivery and poor membrane permeability. In recent years, polymersomes have been functionalized for more efficient drug delivery. The surface shells were explored to be modified with diverse active targeting groups to improve disease-targeting delivery. The membrane permeability of the polymersomes was adjusted by incorporation of the stimuli-responsive components for smart controlled transportation of the encapsulated drugs. Therefore, being the polymersome-biointerface, tailorable properties can be introduced by its carefully modulated engineering. This review elaborates on the role of polymersome membranes as a platform to incorporate versatile features. First, we discuss how surface functionalization facilitates the directional journey to the targeting sites toward specific diseases, cells, or intracellular organelles via active targeting. Moreover, recent advances in the past decade related to membrane permeability to control drug release are also summarized. We finally discuss future development to promote polymersomes as in vivo drug delivery nanocarriers.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) active 3-(3-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-2-hydroxyphenyl)-2-(4'-(diphenylamino)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)acrylonitrile (BTPA) has been designed and synthesized herein, with the goal of detecting CN- ions at a low-level in semi-aqueous medium. The deliberate addition of the electron-deficient alkene BTPA increased its sensitivity and selectivity to CN- ions, with a better detection limit of 6.4 nM, unveiling the next-generation approach to creating sophisticated CN- ions selective chemosensors. The ESI-MS and NMR spectra analyses provided strong support for the structures of the chemosensors, while the UV-Vis, photoluminescence, and 1H-NMR titration experiments provided support for the sensing efficiencies. Subsequently, PVDF/BTPA electrospun nanofibers have been effectively produced as functional films. These nanofiber films exhibit outstanding mechanical strength, photo/thermal stability, and optical responsiveness to CN- ions, making them a potential choice for on-field emerging contaminant detection.

Abstract
The thermal decomposition and kinetic parameters of four polymers, PN-1, PN-05, PN-01, and PN-005, were determined by thermogravimetry (TGA/DTG) under non-isothermal conditions. N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPA)-based polymers were synthesized by the surfactant-free precipitation polymerization (SFPP) with different concentrations of the anionic initiator potassium persulphate (KPS). Thermogravimetric experiments were carried out in the temperature range of 25-700 °C at four heating rates, 5, 10, 15, and 20 °C min-1, under a nitrogen atmosphere. Poly NIPA (PNIPA) showed three stages of mass loss during the degradation process. The thermal stability of the test material was determined. Activation energy values were estimated using Ozawa, Kissinger, Flynn-Wall-Ozawa (FWO), Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS), and Friedman (FD) methods.

Abstract
This paper reports a generic method to prepare polymer nanoparticle-based complex coacervate (PNCC) hydrogels by employing rationally designed nanogels synthesised by reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT)-mediated polymerisation-induced self-assembly (PISA). Specifically, a poly(potassium 3-sulfopropyl methacrylate) (PKSPMA) macromolecular chain-transfer agent (macro-CTA) was synthesised via RAFT solution polymerisation followed by chain-extension with a statistical copolymer of benzyl methacrylate (BzMA) and methacrylic acid (MAA) at pH 2. Thus, pH-responsive nanoparticles (NPs) comprising a hydrophobic polyacid core-forming block and a sulfonate-functional stabiliser block were formed. With the introduction of methacrylic acid into the core of the NPs, they become swollen with increasing pH, as judged by dynamic light scattering (DLS), indicating nanogel-type behaviour. PNCC hydrogels were prepared by simply mixing the PISA-derived nanogels and cationic branched polyethyleneimine (bPEI) at 20% w/w. In the absence of MAA in the core of the NPs, gel formation was not observed. The mass ratio between the nanogels and bPEI affected resulting hydrogel strength and a mixture of bPEI and PKSPMA68-P(BzMA0.6-stat-MAA0.4)300 NPs with a mass ratio of 0.14 at pH ∼7 resulted in a hydrogel with a storage modulus of approximately 2000 Pa, as determined by oscillatory rheology. This PNCC hydrogel was shear-thinning and injectable, with recovery of gel strength occurring rapidly after the removal of shear.

Abstract
Polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) combines polymerization and self-assembly in a single step with distinct efficiency that has set it apart from the conventional solution self-assembly processes. PISA holds great promise for large-scale production, not only because of its efficient process for producing nano/micro-particles with high solid content, but also thanks to the facile control over the particle size and morphology. Since its invention, many research groups around the world have developed new and creative approaches to broaden the scope of PISA initiations, morphologies and applications, etc. The growing interest in PISA is certainly reflected in the increasing number of publications over the past few years, and in this review, we aim to summarize these recent advances in the emerging aspects of RAFT-mediated PISA. These include (1) non-thermal initiation processes, such as photo-, enzyme-, redox- and ultrasound-initiation; the achievements of (2) high-order structures, (3) hybrid materials and (4) stimuli-responsive nano-objects by design and adopting new monomers and new processes; (5) the efforts in the realization of upscale production by utilization of high throughput technologies, and finally the (6) applications of current PISA nano-objects in different fields and (7) its future directions.

Abstract
Self-assembled block copolymer nanoparticles (NPs) have emerged as major potential nanoscale vehicles for fluorescence bioimaging. The preparation of NPs with high yields possessing high kinetic stability to prevent the leakage of fluorophore molecules is crucial to their practical implementation. Here, we report a photomediated RAFT polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) yielding uniform and nanosized poly((oligo(ethylene glycol) acrylate)-block-poly(benzyl acrylate) particles (POEGA-b-PBzA) with a concentration of 22 wt%, over 20 times more than with micellization and nanoprecipitation. The spherical diblock copolymer nanoparticles have an average size of 10-50 nm controllable through the degree of polymerization of the stabilizing POEGA block. Subsequent dialysis against water and swelling with Nile red solution led to highly stable fluorescent NPs able to withstand the changes in concentration, ionic strength, pH or temperature. A PBzA/water interfacial tension of 48.6 mN m-1 hinders the exchange between copolymer chains, resulting in the trapping of NPs in a "kinetically frozen" state responsible for high stability. A spectroscopic study combining fluorescence and UV-vis absorption agrees with a preferential distribution of fluorophores in the outer POEGEA shell despite its hydrophobic nature. Nile red-doped POEGA-b-PBzA micelles without initiator residues and unimers but with high structural stability turn out to be noncytotoxic, and can be used for the optical imaging of cells. Real-time confocal fluorescence microscopy shows a fast cellular uptake using C2C12 cell lines in minutes, and a preferential localization in the perinuclear region, in particular in the vesicles.

Abstract
Reactive polymersomes represent a versatile artificial cargo carrier system that can facilitate an immediate release in response to a specific stimulus. The herein presented oxidation-sensitive polymersomes feature a time-delayed release mechanism in an oxidative environment, which can be precisely adjusted by either tuning the membrane thickness or partial pre-oxidation. These polymeric vesicles are conveniently prepared by PISA allowing the straightforward and effective in situ encapsulation of cargo molecules, as shown for dyes and enzymes. Kinetic studies revealed a critical degree of oxidation causing the destabilization of the membrane, while no release of the cargo is observed beforehand. The encapsulation of glucose oxidase directly transforms these polymersomes into glucose-sensitive vesicles, as small molecules including sugars can passively penetrate their membrane. Considering the ease of preparation, these polymersomes represent a versatile platform for the confinement and burst release of cargo molecules after a precisely adjustable time span in the presence of specific triggers, such as H2 O2 or glucose.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has been proposed to convert tumoral H2O2 into toxic hydroxyl radicals (OH) via Fenton or Fenton-like reactions for antitumor efficacy, which is frequently limited by low H2O2 concentrations or lack of enough metal ions inside tumor tissues. In this report, we present ferrocene-containing responsive polymersome nanoreactors via loading glucose oxidase (GOD) and hypoxia-activable prodrug tirapazamine (TPZ) in the inner aqueous cavities. After intravenous injection, the polymersome nanoreactors with the optimized nanoparticle size of ~100 nm and poly(ethylene glycol) corona facilitate tumor accumulation. The tumor acidic microenvironment can trigger the permeability of the polymersome membranes to activate the nanoreactors and release the loaded TPZ prodrugs. Tumor oxygen and glucose can enter the polymersome nanoreactors and are transformed into H2O2 under the catalysis of GOD, which are further converted into OH via Fenton reaction under catalysis of ferrocene moieties. The oxygen consumption can aggravate tumor hypoxia to activate hypoxia-responsive TPZ prodrugs which can produce benzotriazinyl (BTZ) radicals and OH. All the produced radicals synergistically kill tumor cells via the amplified CDT and suppress the tumor growth efficiently. Thus, the ferrocene-containing responsive polymersome nanoreactors loading GOD and TPZ represent a potent nanoplatform to exert amplified CDT for improved anticancer efficacy.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles have gained attention in cancer therapy due to their non-toxic properties and high bio-compatibility. In this report, we synthesize a dual-responsive magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) that is sensitive to subtle pH and temperature change as in the tumor microenvironment. Thus, the functional doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded MNP (DOX-PNIPAM-PMAA@Fe3O4) can perform specific DOX releases in the cancer cell. The particle was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta-potential, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The microscopy data revealed the particle as having a spherical shape. The zeta-potential and size distribution analysis data demonstrated the difference for the stepwise modified MNPs. The FTIR spectrum showed characteristic absorption bands of NH2-SiO2@Fe3O4, CPDB@Fe3O4, PMAA@Fe3O4, and PNIPAM-PMAA@Fe3O4. Drug-loading capacity and releasing efficiency were evaluated under different conditions. Through an in vitro analysis, we confirmed that PNIPAM-PMAA@Fe3O4 has enhanced drug releasing efficiency under acidic and warmer conditions. Finally, cellular uptake and cell viability were estimated via different treatments in an MDA-MB-231 cell line. Through the above analysis, we concluded that the DOX-loaded particles can be internalized by cancer cells, and such a result is positive and prospective.

Abstract
Smart polymeric vesicles with both tertiary amine and epoxy functional groups were fabricated for the first time via a reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer dispersion polymerization approach, using (2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DIPEMA) and glycidyl methacrylate (GlyMA) in an ethanol–water mixture. Monitoring of the in situ polymerization revealed the low molecular weight distributions and the intermediate structures of spheres and worms, indicating an evolution in particle morphology. A phase diagram was constructed for reproducible fabrication of the vesicles, and copolymer composition was found to be more related to particle morphology. The vesicles exhibited superior structural stability for the cross-linking of the core through epoxydiamine chemistry, and intelligent pH responsibility due to the presence of the tertiary amine groups. The cross-linked vesicles showed good stability and reversibility during the swelling and shrinking cycles by switching the pH values, which endowed them with potential cell-like transmission functions. This research thus provides a method for producing structurally stable pH-responsive polymeric vesicles, and the reported vesicles are based on commercially available starting materials for possible industrial scale-up. Smart polymeric vesicles with both tertiary amine and epoxy functional groups were fabricated for the first time via a reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer dispersion polymerization approach.![]()

Abstract
Self-organized nano- and microscale polymer compartments such as polymersomes, giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs), polyion complex vesicles (PICsomes) and layer-by-layer (LbL) capsules have increasing potential in many sensing applications. Besides modifying the physicochemical properties of the corresponding polymer building blocks, the versatility of these compartments can be markedly expanded by biomolecules that endow the nanomaterials with specific molecular and cellular functions. In this review, we focus on polymer-based compartments that preserve their structure, and highlight the key role they play in the field of medical diagnostics: first, the self-assembling abilities that result in preferred architectures are presented for a broad range of polymers. In the following, we describe different strategies for sensing disease-related signals (pH-change, reductive conditions, and presence of ions or biomolecules) by polymer compartments that exhibit stimuli-responsiveness. In particular, we distinguish between the stimulus-sensitivity contributed by the polymer itself or by additional compounds embedded in the compartments in different sensing systems. We then address necessary properties of sensing polymeric compartments, such as the enhancement of their stability and biocompatibility, or the targeting ability, that open up new perspectives for diagnostic applications.

Abstract
Polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA), incorporating the polymerization with in situ self-assembly, can achieve nano-objects efficiently. However, the cooperative polymerization and self-assembly lead to unclear polymerization kinetics and aggregation behavior, especially for the systems forming rigid chains. Here, we used dissipative particle dynamics simulations with a probability-based reaction model to explore the PISA behavior of rod-coil block copolymer systems. The impact of the length of macromolecular initiators, the targeted length of rigid chains, and the reaction probability on the PISA behavior, including polymerization kinetics and self-assembly, were examined. The difference between PISA and traditional self-assembly was revealed. A comparison with experimental observations shows that the simulation can capture the essential feature of the PISA. The present work provides a comprehensive understanding of rod-coil PISA systems and may provide meaningful information for future experimental research.

Abstract
We investigated the co-assembly of amphiphilic diblock copolymers in solutions containing drugs and functional nanoparticles using the dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) method. By controlling the size and the concentration of the functional nanoparticles, the length of the hydrophobic blocks, and the interaction parameters between the hydrophobic block/solvent and the functional nanoparticles, we obtained the desired aggregates to load drugs. The aggregates loaded with drugs can be disk-like micelles, sphere-like micelles and vesicles with functional nanoparticles on the surface. When the solvent environment changes, the drugs loaded in the functional vesicles can release into the solvent. The release content is critically dependent on the repulsive interaction between the drugs and the solvent. The dynamic curve of drug release is obtained. The result is in agreement with the experiments about drug release. Our studies showed that we can precisely control the formation of functional vesicles to load and release drugs. Loading drugs in the process of self-assembly and controlling the release have broad potential in the field of clinical medicine and adding functional nanoparticles can be of great help in drug delivery and medical diagnosis.

Abstract
Conventional synthesis of colloidal molecules (CMs) mainly depends on particle-based self-assembly of patchy building blocks. However, direct access to CMs by the self-assembly of isotropic colloidal subunits remains challenging. Here, we report the mass production of AB n -type CMs by polymerization-induced particle-assembly (PIPA), using a linear ABC triblock terpolymer system. Starting from diblock copolymer spheres, the association of spheres takes place in situ during the polymerization of the third block. The third blocks aggregate into attractive domains, which connect spheres into CMs. The stability of CMs is ensured, as long as the conversions are limited to ca. 50%, and the pH is low. The valence of AB n -type CMs (n = 2-6) is determined by the volume ratio of the polymer blocks. By tuning the volume ratio, 78.5% linear AB2-type CMs are yielded. We demonstrate that polymerization-induced particle-assembly is successful for the scalable fabrication of AB n -type CMs (50 g L-1), and can be easily extended to vastly different triblock terpolymers, for a wide range of applications.

Abstract
Microfluidic flow-directed self-assembly of biological stimuli-responsive block copolymers is demonstrated with dual-location cleavable linkages at the junction between hydrophilic and hydrophobic blocks and on pendant group within the hydrophobic blocks. On-chip self-assembly within a two-phase microfluidic reactor forms various "DualM" polymer nanoparticles (PNPs), including cylinders and multicompartment vesicles, with sizes and morphologies that are tunable with manufacturing flow rate. Complex kinetically trapped intermediates between shear-dependent states provide the most detailed mechanism to date of microfluidic PNP formation in the presence of flow-variable high shear. Glutathione (GSH)-triggered changes in PNP size and internal structure depend strongly on the initial flow-directed size and internal structure. Upon incubation in GSH, flow-directed PNPs with smaller average sizes showed a faster hydrodynamic size increase (attributed to junction cleavage) and those with higher excess Gibbs free energy showed faster inner compartment growth (attributed to pendant cleavage). These results demonstrate that the combination of chemical control of the location of biologically responsive linkages with microfluidic shear processing offers promising routes for tunable "smart" polymeric nanomedicines.

Abstract
Polymeric vesicles (or polymersomes) are hollow bilayer structures consisting of an inner aqueous compartment enclosed by a hydrophobic membrane. Vesicular constructs are ubiquitous in nature and perform a variety of functions by compartmentalizing molecules into disparate environments. For polymer chemists, the synthesis of vesicles can be readily accomplished using polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA), whereby pure vesicle morphologies can be easily accessed by tuning initial reaction parameters. Research into polymersomes is motivated primarily by the fact that hydrophilic cargo such as drug molecules, DNA, or enzymes can be encapsulated and protected from the often harsh conditions of the surrounding environment. A key factor governing the capability of vesicles to retain and protect their cargo is the permeability of their hydrophobic membrane. Herein, we demonstrate that membrane permeability of enzyme-loaded epoxy-functionalized polymersomes synthesized by aqueous emulsion PISA can be modulated via epoxide ring-opening with various diamine cross-linkers and hydrophobic primary amines. In general, membrane cross-linking or amine conjugation resulted in increased polymersome membrane thickness. Membrane modification was also found to decrease permeability in all cases, as measured by enzymatically-catalysed oxidation of an externally administered substrate. Functionalization with hydrophobic amines resulted in the largest reduction in enzyme activity, suggesting significant blocking of substrate diffusion into the central aqueous compartment. This procedurally facile strategy yields meaningful insight into how the chemical structure of the membrane influences permeability and thus could be generally applied to the formulation of polymeric vesicles for therapeutic applications.
