Abstract
We present a neutron spin echo (NSE) investigation to examine the impact of macromolecular crowding on the dynamics of single-chain nanoparticles (SCNPs), serving as synthetic models for biomacromolecules with flexibility and internal degrees of freedom, such as intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). In particular, we studied the dynamics of a medium-size poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)-based SCNP (33 kDa) in solutions with low- (10 kDa) and high- (100 kDa) molecular weight analogous deuterated PMMA linear crowders. The dynamic structure factors of the SCNPs in dilute solution show certain degrees of freedom, yet the analysis in terms of the Zimm model reveals high internal friction that effectively stiffens the chain-a phenomenon also observed for IDPs. Under crowding conditions, the internal dynamics remains essentially unchanged, but the center-of-mass diffusion slows down. The effective viscosity felt by the SCNPs at the timescales probed by NSE is lower than the macroscopic viscosity of the crowder solution, and it does not depend significantly on the molecular weight.

Abstract
The conformation of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)-based single-chain nanoparticles (SCNPs) and their corresponding linear precursors in the presence of deuterated linear PMMA in deuterated dimethylformamide (DMF) solutions has been studied by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). The SANS profiles were analyzed in terms of a three-component random phase approximation (RPA) model. The RPA approach described well the scattering profiles in dilute and crowded solutions. Considering all the contributions of the RPA leads to an accurate estimation of the single chain form factor parameters and the Flory-Huggins interaction parameter between PMMA and DMF. The value of the latter in the dilute regime indicates that the precursors and the SCNPs are in good solvent conditions, while in crowding conditions, the polymer becomes less soluble.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 13:838.

Abstract
This research aims to characterize the adsorption morphology of block copolymer dispersants of the styrene-block-4-vinylpyridine family (S4VP) on the surface of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) in a polar organic solvent, N,N-dimethyl formamide (DMF). Good, unagglomerated dispersion is important in several applications such as fabricating CNT nanocomposites in a polymer film for electronic or optical devices. Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) measurements, using the contrast variation (CV) method, are used to evaluate the density and extension of the polymer chains adsorbed on the nanotube surface, which can yield insight into the means of successful dispersion. The results show that the block copolymers adsorb onto the MWCNT surface as a continuous coverage of low polymer concentration. Poly(styrene) (PS) blocks adsorb more tightly, forming a 20 Å layer containing about 6 wt.% PS, whereas poly(4-vinylpyridine) (P4VP) blocks emanate into the solvent, forming a thicker shell (totaling 110 Å in radius) but of very dilute (<1 wt.%) polymer concentration. This indicates strong chain extension. Increasing the PS molecular weight increases the thickness of the adsorbed layer but decreases the overall polymer concentration within it. These results are relevant for the ability of dispersed CNTs to form a strong interface with matrix polymers in composites, due to the extension of the 4VP chains allowing for entanglement with matrix chains. The sparse polymer coverage of the CNT surface may provide sufficient space to form CNT-CNT contacts in processed films and composites, which are important for electrical or thermal conductivity.

Abstract
We construct a segmental scale force level theory for the center-of-mass diffusion constant and corresponding relaxation time for globally compact unconcatenated ring polymer solutions and melts (degree of polymerization N). The approach is based on slowly decaying macromolecular scale intermolecular force dynamic correlations as the origin of their unusual dynamics. Unentangled Rouse, weakly caged, and activated regimes are predicted. The barrier of the activated regime scales linearly with N and as a power law of concentration, which drives a kinetic glass transition on the radius-of-gyration scale. The values of N at the two dynamic crossovers (Rouse to weakly caged, weakly caged to activated) are proportional, with nonuniversality entering mainly via macromolecular volume fraction and dimensionless compressibility. Quantitative comparisons with simulation data reveal good agreement. Aspects of intermediate time dynamics are analyzed, and predictions are made for the conditions required to observe a macromolecular glass transition in the laboratory and on the computer.

Abstract
By using coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations, we have investigated the structure and dynamics of supercooled single-chain cross-linked nanoparticle (SCNP) melts having a range of cross-linking degrees ϕ. We find a nearly linear increase in glass-transition temperature (Tg) with increasing ϕ. Correspondingly, we have also experimentally synthesized a series of polystyrene-based SCNPs and have found that the measured Tg estimated from differential scanning calorimetry is qualitatively consistent with the trend predicted by our simulation estimates. Experimentally, an increase in Tg as large as ΔTg = 61 K for ϕ = 0.36 is found compared with their linear chain counterparts, indicating that the changes in dynamics with cross-links are quite appreciable. We attribute the increase in Tg to the enlarged effective hard-core volume and the corresponding reduction in the free volume of the polymer segments. Topological constraints evidently frustrate the local packing. In addition, the introduction of intra-molecular cross-linking bonds slows down the structural relaxation and simultaneously enhances the local coupling motion on the length scales within SCNPs. Consequently, a more pronounced dynamical heterogeneity (DH) is observed for larger ϕ, as quantified by measuring the dynamical correlation length through the four-point susceptibility parameter, χ4. The increase in DH is directly related to the enhanced local cooperative motion derived from intra-molecular cross-linking bonds and structural heterogeneity derived from the cross-linking process. These results shed new light on the influence of intra-molecular topological constraints on the segmental dynamics of polymer melts.

Abstract
Single-chain nanoparticles (SCNPs) are ultrasoft objects obtained through purely intramolecular cross-linking of single polymer chains. By means of computer simulations with implemented hydrodynamic interactions, we investigate for the first time the effect of the shear flow on the structural and dynamic properties of SCNPs in semidilute and concentrated solutions. We characterize the dependence of several conformational and dynamic observables on the shear rate and the concentration, obtaining a set of power-law scaling laws. The concentration has a very different effect on the shear rate dependence of the former observables in SCNPs than in simple linear chains. Whereas for the latter the scaling behaviour is marginally dependent on the concentration, two clearly different scaling regimes are found for the SCNPs below and above the overlap concentration. At fixed shear rate SCNPs and linear chains also respond very differently to crowding. Whereas, at moderate and high Weissenberg numbers the linear chains swell, the SCNPs exhibit a complex non-monotonic behaviour. We suggest that these findings are inherently related to the topological interactions preventing concatenation of the SCNPs, which lead to less interpenetration than for linear chains, and to the limitation to stretching imposed by the permanent cross-links in the SCNPs, which itself limits the ways to spatially arrange in the shear flow.

Abstract
Single-chain nanoparticles (SCNP) are a class of polymeric nanoparticles obtained from the intramolecular cross-linking of polymers bearing reactive pendant groups. The development of SCNP has drawn tremendous attention since the fabrication of SCNP mimics the self-folding behavior in natural biomacromolecules and is highly desirable for a variety of applications ranging from catalysis, nanomedicine, nanoreactors, and sensors. The versatility of novel chemistries available for SCNP synthesis has greatly expanded over the past decade. Significant progress was also made in the understanding of a structure-property relationship in the single-chain folding process. In this Viewpoint, we discuss the effect of precursor polymer topology on single polymer folding. We summarize the progress in SCNP of complex architectures and highlight unresolved issues in the field, such as scalability and topological purity of SCNP.
