Abstract
In the realm of cancer therapy, the spotlight is on nanoscale pharmaceutical delivery systems, especially polymer-based nanoparticles, for their enhanced drug dissolution, extended presence in the bloodstream, and precision targeting achieved via surface engineering. Leveraging the amplified permeation and retention phenomenon, these systems concentrate therapeutic agents within tumor tissues. Nonetheless, the hurdles of systemic toxicity, biological barriers, and compatibility with living systems persist. Fluorinated polymers, distinguished by their chemical idiosyncrasies, are poised for extensive biomedical applications, notably in stabilizing drug metabolism, augmenting lipophilicity, and optimizing bioavailability. Material science heralds the advent of fluorinated polymers that, by integrating fluorine atoms, unveil a suite of drug delivery merits: the hydrophobic traits of fluorinated alkyl chains ward off lipid or protein disruption, the carbon-fluorine bond's stability extends the drug's lifecycle in the system, and a lower alkalinity coupled with a diminished ionic charge bolsters the drug's ability to traverse cellular membranes. This comprehensive review delves into the utilization of fluorinated polymers for oncological pharmacotherapy, elucidating their molecular architecture, synthetic pathways, and functional attributes, alongside an exploration of their empirical strengths and the quandaries they encounter in both experimental and clinical settings.

Abstract
Currently, cancer poses a significant health challenge in the medical community. Traditional chemotherapeutic agents are often accompanied by toxic side effects and limited therapeutic efficacy, restricting their application and advancement in cancer treatment. Therefore, there is an urgent need for developing intelligent drug release systems. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have many advantages, such as a large specific surface area, substantial pore volume and size, adjustable mesoporous material pore size, excellent biocompatibility, and thermodynamic stability, making them ideal carriers for drug delivery and release. Additionally, they have been widely used to develop novel anticancer drug carriers. Recently, MSNs have been employed to design responsive systems that react to the tumor microenvironment and external stimuli for controlled release of anticancer drugs. This includes factors within the intratumor environment, such as pH, temperature, enzymes, and glutathione as well as external tumor stimuli, such as light, magnetic field, and ultrasound, among others. In this review, we discuss the research progress on environmental stimulus-responsive MSNs in anticancer drug delivery systems, including internal and external environment single stimulus-responsive release and combined stimulus-responsive release. We also summarize the current challenges associated with environmental stimulus-responsive MSNs and elucidate future directions, providing a reference for the functionalization modification and practical application of these MSNs.

Abstract
The way that polymer brushes respond to shear flow has important implications in various applications, including antifouling, corrosion protection, and stimuli-responsive materials. However, there is still much to learn about the behaviours and mechanisms that govern these responses. To address this gap in knowledge, our study uses in situ X-ray reflectivity to investigate how poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS) brushes stretch and change in different environments, such as isopropanol (a poor solvent), water (a good solvent), and aqueous solutions containing various cations (Cs+, Ba2+, La3+, and Y3+). We have designed a custom apparatus that exposes the PSS brushes to both tangential shear forces from the primary flow and upward drag forces from a secondary flow. Our experimental findings clearly show that shear forces have a significant impact on how the chains in PSS brushes are arranged. At low shear rates, the tangential shear force causes the chains to tilt, leading to brush contraction. In contrast, higher shear rates generate an upward shear force that stretches and expands the chains. By analysing electron density profiles obtained from X-ray reflectivity, we gain valuable insights into how the PSS brushes respond structurally, especially the role of the diffuse layer in this dynamic behaviour. Our results highlight the importance of the initial chain configuration, which is influenced by the solvent and cations present, in shaping how polymer brushes respond to shear flow. The strength of the salt bridge network also plays a crucial role in determining how easily the brushes can stretch, with stronger networks offering more resistance to stretching. Ultimately, our study aims to enhance our understanding of polymer physics at interfaces, with a particular focus on practical applications involving polymer brushes.

Abstract
Increasing the security by the multilevel authentication mechanism was the most significant challenge in recent years for the development of anticounterfeiting inks based on photoluminescent nanomaterials. For this purpose, the greatest strategy is the use of multicomponent organic materials and a combination of Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) with the intelligent behavior of photochromic compounds like spiropyran. Here, the hydroxyl-functionalized polymer nanoparticles were synthesized by emulsion copolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) in different compositions (0-30 wt % of HEMA). Results illustrated that the size of the nanoparticles changed from 64 to 204 nm, and a morphology evolution from spherical to Janus shape was observed by increasing the concentration of HEMA. Photoluminescent inks with red, green, and blue (RGB) fluorescence emissions were prepared by modification of nanoparticles containing 15 wt % of HEMA with spiropyran, fluorescein, and coumarin, respectively. To develop dual-color and multicolor photoluminescent inks that display static and dynamic emission, RGB latex samples were mixed together in different ratios and printed on cellulosic paper. Results display that the fluorescence emission of developed inks can be photoswitched between different statuses, including white to blue, green to blue, green to red/orange, purple to pink, and white to pink, utilizing the FRET phenomenon, photochromism, and a combination of both phenomena. Samples containing spiropyran displayed dynamic color changes in the emission to red, orange, and pink depending on the composition. Hence, developed dual-color and multicolor photoluminescent inks were used for printing of security tags and also painting of some hand-drawn artworks, which obtained results indicating high printability, maximum fluorescence intensity, high resolution, and fast responsivity upon UV-light irradiations of 254 nm (for static mode) and 365 nm (for dynamic mode). In addition, the multilevel authentication mechanism by a static emission under UV-light irradiation of 254 nm, a dynamic emission under UV-light irradiation of 365 nm, and photochromic color change was observed, resulting in increasing the security of developed inks. Actually, developed multicolor photoluminescent inks are the most efficient candidates for developing a new category of chameleon-like high-security anticounterfeiting inks that have tunable optical properties and complex multilevel authentication mechanisms.

Abstract
Fluorinated polymeric nanoparticles (FPNPs) combine unique properties of fluorocarbon and polymeric nanoparticles, which has stimulated massive interest for decades. However, fluoropolymers are not readily available from nature, resulting in synthetic developments to obtain FPNPs via free radical polymerizations. Recently, while increasing cutting-edge directions demand tailored FPNPs, such materials have been difficult to access via conventional approaches. Reversible-deactivation radical polymerizations (RDRPs) are powerful methods to afford well-defined polymers. Researchers have applied RDRPs to the fabrication of FPNPs, enabling the construction of particles with improved complexity in terms of structure, composition, morphology, and functionality. Related examples can be classified into three categories. First, well-defined fluoropolymers synthesized via RDRPs have been utilized as precursors to form FPNPs through self-folding and solution self-assembly. Second, thermally and photoinitiated RDRPs have been explored to realize in situ preparations of FPNPs with varied morphologies via polymerization-induced self-assembly and cross-linking copolymerization. Third, grafting from inorganic nanoparticles has been investigated based on RDRPs. Importantly, those advancements have promoted studies toward promising applications, including magnetic resonance imaging, biomedical delivery, energy storage, adsorption of perfluorinated alkyl substances, photosensitizers, and so on. This Review should present useful knowledge to researchers in polymer science and nanomaterials and inspire innovative ideas for the synthesis and applications of FPNPs.

Abstract
ConspectusThe surface-tethered polymer brush has become a powerful approach to tailoring the chemical and physical properties of surfaces and interfaces and revealed broad application prospects in widespread fields such as self-cleaning, surface lubrication, and antibiofouling. Access to these diverse functional polymer brushes is highly dependent on versatile and powerful surface-initiated controlled radical polymerization (SI-CRP) strategies. However, conventional SI-CRP typically requires oxygen exclusion, large amounts of catalysts and monomer solution, and a long reaction time, making it time-consuming and sophisticated. When using a two-plate system consisting of an initiator-bearing substrate and a metal plate, we and our collaborators introduced surface-initiated zerovalent metal-mediated controlled radical polymerization (SI-Mt0CRP). In the SI-Mt0CRP setup, a metal(0) plate (Cu, Fe, Zn, or Sn) is placed proximately to an initiator-functionalized substrate and forms a confined polymerization system which considerably simplifies the synthesis of a wide range of polymer brushes with high grafting densities over large areas (up to the meter scale).In comparison to classical SI-ATRP (catalyzed by metal salts), SI-Mt0CRP demonstrates oxygen tolerance, high controllability, good retention of chain-end functionality, and facile recyclability of the metal catalysts (i.e., metal foil/plate). Taking advantage of the confined geometry of the SI-Mt0CRP setup, polymer brushes with various conformations and architectures are easily accessible while consuming only microliter volumes of monomer solution and without complicated operations under ambient conditions. Owing to these attractive characteristics, SI-Mt0CRP has become a versatile technique for functionalizing materials for targeted applications, ranging from the areas of surface science to materials science and nanotechnology.In this Account, we summarize the recent advances of SI-Mt0CRP catalyzed by zerovalent metals (e.g., Cu, Fe, Zn, and Sn) and highlight the intrinsic advantages of the featured experimental setup, compared with the "classical" SI-CRP in which metal salt, powder, or wire is applied. We further discuss the synthetic features and proposed mechanism of SI-Mt0CRP while emphasizing the various external technologies' (including "on water" reaction, galvanic replacement, lithography, and capillary microfluidic) integrated polymerization systems. We also describe structural polymer brushes, including block copolymers, patterned and gradient structures, and arrayed and binary polymer brushes. Finally, we introduce the diverse polymer brushes that have been prepared using these techniques, with a focus on targeted and emerging applications. We anticipate that the discussion presented in this Account will promote a better understanding of the SI-Mt0CRP technique and advance the future development of practical surface brushing.

Abstract
Traditional transparent polymer nanocomposites combined with functional fluorescent inorganic nanofillers are promising for many advanced optical applications. However, the aggregation of the incorporated functional nanoparticles results in light scattering and will decrease the transparency of nanocomposites, which will restrain the application of the transparent nanocomposites. Herein, a robust synthesis strategy was proposed to modify upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) with polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) to form UCNP@PMMA core@shell nanocomposites though metal-free photoinduced surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (photo-SI-ATRP), and thus, the dispersity of UCNP@PMMA and the interface compatibility between the surface of UCNPs and the bulk PMMA matrix was greatly improved. The obtained PMMA nanocomposites possess high transparency and show strong upconversion photoluminescence properties, which promises great opportunities for application in 3D display and related optoelectronic fields. This strategy could also be applied to fabricate other kinds of functional transparent polymer nanocomposites with inorganic nanoparticles uniformly dispersed.

Abstract
Hypoxia is a distinctive feature of most solid tumors due to insufficient oxygen supply of the abnormal vasculature, which cannot work with the demands of the fast proliferation of cancer cells. One of the main obstacles to limiting the efficacy of cancer medicines is tumor hypoxia. Thus, oxygen is a vital parameter for controlling the efficacy of different types of cancer therapy, such as chemotherapy (CT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), photothermal therapy (PTT), immunotherapy (IT), and radiotherapy (RT). Numerous technologies have attracted much attention for enhancing oxygen distribution in humans and improving the efficacy of cancer treatment. Such technologies include treatment with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO), delivering oxygen by polysaccharides (e.g., cellulose, gelatin, alginate, and silk) and other biocompatible synthetic polymers (e.g., PMMA, PLA, PVA, PVP and PCL), decreasing oxygen consumption, producing oxygen in situ in tumors, and using polymeric systems as oxygen carriers. Herein, this review provides an overview of the relationship between hypoxia in tumor cells and its role in the limitation of different cancer therapies alongside the numerous strategies for oxygen delivery using polysaccharides and other biomaterials as carriers and for oxygen generation.

Abstract
Catechol and/or pyrogallol groups are recognized as crucial for the formation of polyphenol coatings on various substrates. Meanwhile, studies on polyphenolic molecules that do not contain such groups are relatively rare. The key molecule in turmeric-based universal (i.e., substrate-independent) coatings is curcumin, which contains no catechol or pyrogallol groups. As chemically reactive hydroxyl groups would remain after curcumin coating, it is hypothesized that curcumin coating can serve as a reactive layer for controlling interfacial properties. In this study, a curcumin-based surface modification method is developed to graft polymer brushes from various substrates, including titanium dioxide, gold, glass, stainless steel, and nylon. α-Bromoisobutyryl bromide, a polymerization initiator, is introduced to the curcumin-coated substrates via esterification; subsequently, poly(oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylate) (poly(OEGMA)) is grafted from the surfaces. Compared to the control surfaces, poly(OEGMA)-grafted surfaces significantly suppress bacterial adhesion by up to 99.4%, demonstrating their antibacterial properties. Considering its facile and versatile surface modification, curcumin-based polymer grafting can be an efficient method for controlling the chemical/physical properties of surfaces in a substrate-independent manner.

Abstract
Single-chain polymer nanoparticles (SCNPs) are soft matter constructed by intrachain crosslink, with promising prospects in detection and catalysis. Herein, the fluorescent core (SCNPs) with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) was prepared, applying for H2 O2 detection through intermolecular heavy-atom effect. In detail, the SCNPs precursors were synthesized by ring-opening copolymerization. Then the SCNPs were prepared by intramolecularly cross-linking via olefin metathesis. Imitating the structure of AIE dots, SCNPs were encapsulated by H2 O2 -responsive polymers. Probably due to the stable secondary structure of SCNPs, the obtained micelles show stable fluorescence performance. Furthermore, as the heavy-atom, tellurium was introduced into the carriers to construct the heavy-atom effect. In this micelle-based system, the SCNPs act as the fluorescent core, and the stimuli-responsive polymer acts as the carrier and the fluorescent switch. The hydrophilicity of the tellurium-containing segment is affected by the concentration of H2 O2 , resulting in a change in the distance from the SCNPs, which ultimately leads to a change in the fluorescence intensity. And tellurium is particularly sensitive to H2 O2 , which can detect low concentrations of H2 O2 . The SCNPs were merged with AIE materials, hoping to explore new probe design.

Abstract
Modulating the surface chemistry of nanoparticles, often by grafting hydrophilic polymer brushes (e.g., polyethylene glycol) to prepare nanoformulations that can resist opsonization in a hematic environment and negotiate with the mucus barrier, is a popular strategy toward developing biocompatible and effective nano-drug delivery systems. However, there is a need for tools that can screen multiple surface ligands and cluster them based on both structural similarity and physicochemical attributes. Molecular descriptors offer numerical readouts based on molecular properties and provide a fertile ground for developing quick screening platforms. Thus, a study was conducted with 14 monomers/repeating blocks of polymeric chains, namely, oxazoline, acrylamide, vinylpyrrolidone, glycerol, acryloyl morpholine, dimethyl acrylamide, hydroxypropyl methacrylamide, hydroxyethyl methacrylamide, sialic acid, carboxybetaine acrylamide, carboxybetaine methacrylate, sulfobetaine methacrylate, methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine, and vinyl-pyridinio propanesulfonate, capable of imparting hydrophilicity to a surface when assembled as polymeric brushes. Employing free, Web-based, and user-friendly platforms, such as SwissADME and ChemMine tools, a series of molecular descriptors and Tanimoto coefficient of molecular pairs were determined, followed by hierarchical clustering analyses. Molecular pairs of oxazoline/dimethyl acrylamide, hydroxypropyl methacrylamide/hydroxyethyl methacrylamide, acrylamide/glycerol, carboxybetaine acrylamide/vinyl-pyridinio propanesulfonate, and sulfobetaine methacrylate/methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine were clustered together. Similarly, the molecular pair of hydroxypropyl methacrylamide/hydroxyethyl methacrylamide demonstrated a high Tanimoto coefficient of >0.9, whereas the pairs oxazoline/vinylpyrrolidone, acrylamide/dimethyl acrylamide, acryloyl morpholine/dimethyl acrylamide, acryloyl morpholine/hydroxypropyl methacrylamide, acryloyl morpholine/hydroxyethyl methacrylamide, carboxybetaine methacrylate/sulfobetaine methacrylate, and glycerol/hydroxypropyl methacrylamide had a Tanimoto coefficient of >0.8. The analyzed data not only demonstrated the ability of such in silico tools as a facile technique in clustering molecules of interest based on their structure and physicochemical characteristics but also provided vital information on their behavior within biological systems, including the ability to engage an array of possible molecular targets when the monomers are self-assembled on nanoparticulate surfaces.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are crystalline porous organic structures with two- or three-dimensional (2D or 3D) features and composed of building blocks being connected via covalent bonds. The manifold applications of COFs in optoelectronic devices, energy conversion and storage, adsorption, separation, sensing, organocatalysis, photocatalysis, electrocatalytic reactions, and biomedicine are increasing because of their notable intrinsic features such as large surface area, porosity, designable structure, low density, crystallinity, biocompatibility, and high chemical stability. These properties have rendered 2D and 3D COF-based materials as desirable entities for drug delivery, gene delivery, photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, combination therapy, biosensing, bioimaging, and anticancer activities. Herein, different reactions and methods for the synthesis of 2D and 3D COFs are reviewed with special emphasis on the construction and state-of-the-art progress pertaining to the biomedical applications of 2D and 3D COFs of varying shapes, sizes, and structures. Specifically, stimuli-responsive COFs-based systems and targeted drug delivery approaches are summarized.

Abstract
The applications of fluorinated molecules in bioengineering and nanotechnology are expanding rapidly with the controlled introduction of fluorine being broadly studied due to the unique properties of C-F bonds. This review will focus on the design and utility of C-F containing materials in imaging, therapeutics, and environmental applications with a central theme being the importance of controlling fluorine-fluorine interactions and understanding how such interactions impact biological behavior. Low natural abundance of fluorine is shown to provide sensitivity and background advantages for imaging and detection of a variety of diseases with 19F magnetic resonance imaging, 18F positron emission tomography and ultrasound discussed as illustrative examples. The presence of C-F bonds can also be used to tailor membrane permeability and pharmacokinetic properties of drugs and delivery agents for enhanced cell uptake and therapeutics. A key message of this review is that while the promise of C-F containing materials is significant, a subset of highly fluorinated compounds such as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), have been identified as posing a potential risk to human health. The unique properties of the C-F bond and the significant potential for fluorine-fluorine interactions in PFAS structures necessitate the development of new strategies for facile and efficient environmental removal and remediation. Recent progress in the development of fluorine-containing compounds as molecular imaging and therapeutic agents will be reviewed and their design features contrasted with environmental and health risks for PFAS systems. Finally, present challenges and future directions in the exploitation of the biological aspects of fluorinated systems will be described.

Abstract
In this work, we report a much simpler and low-cost method to prepare main-chain-type semifluorinated alternating copolymers by the formation of a halogen bond (XB) complex between α,ω-diiodoperfluoroalkanes and amines/halide salts. It is interesting that the terminal iodine functional group of the polymer chains is easily lost in the amine-promoted system, while the loss can be significantly reduced by adding a small amount of water. Importantly, the system promoted by halide salts can ensure complete retention of the iodine functional group. Overall, the establishment of this method provides a new strategy for designing smart fluoropolymer materials in a green and environmentally friendly facile manner under irradiation with visible light at room temperature.

Abstract
A novel dual pH/thermoresponsive amphiphilic poly(histidine methacrylamide)-block-hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene-block-poly(histidine methacrylamide) (PHisMAM-b-PB-b-PHisMAM) triblock copolymer biohybrid, composed of hydrophobic PB and ampholytic PHisMAM segments, is developed via direct switching from living anionic polymerization to recyclable nanoparticle catalyst-mediated reversible-deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP). The transformation involved in situ postpolymerization modification of living polybutadiene-based carbanionic species, end-capped with ethylene oxide, into dihydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene and a subsequent reaction with 2-bromo-2-methylpropionyl bromide resulting in a telechelic ATRP macroinitiator (Br-PB-Br). Br-PB-Br was used to mediate RDRP of an l-histidine-derived monomer, HisMAM, yielding a series of PHisMAM-b-PB-b-PHisMAM triblock copolymers. The copolymer's stimuli response was assessed against pH and temperature changes. The copolymer is capable of switching among its zwitterionic, anionic, and cationic forms and exhibited unique antifouling properties in its zwitterionic form. These novel triblock copolymers are expected to be show promising potential in biomedical applications.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a treatment modality in which a photosensitizer is irradiated with light, producing reactive oxygen species, often via energy transfer with oxygen. As it is common for tumors to be hypoxic, methods to deliver photosensitizer and oxygen are desirable. One such approach is the use of perfluorocarbons, molecules in which all C-H bonds are replaced with C-F bonds, to co-deliver oxygen because of the high solubility of gases in perfluorocarbons. This review highlights the benefits and limitations of several fluorinated nanomaterial architectures for use in PDT.

Abstract
After the protocol-related indecisive clinical trial of Oxygent, a perfluorooctylbromide/phospholipid nanoemulsion, in cardiac surgery, that often unduly assigned the observed untoward effects to the product, the development of perfluorocarbon (PFC)-based O2 nanoemulsions ("blood substitutes") has come to a low. Yet, significant further demonstrations of PFC O2-delivery efficacy have continuously been reported, such as relief of hypoxia after myocardial infarction or stroke; protection of vital organs during surgery; potentiation of O2-dependent cancer therapies, including radio-, photodynamic-, chemo- and immunotherapies; regeneration of damaged nerve, bone or cartilage; preservation of organ grafts destined for transplantation; and control of gas supply in tissue engineering and biotechnological productions. PFC colloids capable of augmenting O2 delivery include primarily injectable PFC nanoemulsions, microbubbles and phase-shift nanoemulsions. Careful selection of PFC and other colloid components is critical. The basics of O2 delivery by PFC nanoemulsions will be briefly reminded. Improved knowledge of O2 delivery mechanisms has been acquired. Advanced, size-adjustable O2-delivering nanoemulsions have been designed that have extended room-temperature shelf-stability. Alternate O2 delivery options are being investigated that rely on injectable PFC-stabilized microbubbles or phase-shift PFC nanoemulsions. The latter combine prolonged circulation in the vasculature, capacity for penetrating tumor tissues, and acute responsiveness to ultrasound and other external stimuli. Progress in microbubble and phase-shift emulsion engineering, control of phase-shift activation (vaporization), understanding and control of bubble/ultrasound/tissue interactions is discussed. Control of the phase-shift event and of microbubble size require utmost attention. Further PFC-based colloidal systems, including polymeric micelles, PFC-loaded organic or inorganic nanoparticles and scaffolds, have been devised that also carry substantial amounts of O2. Local, on-demand O2 delivery can be triggered by external stimuli, including focused ultrasound irradiation or tumor microenvironment. PFC colloid functionalization and targeting can help adjust their properties for specific indications, augment their efficacy, improve safety profiles, and expand the range of their indications. Many new medical and biotechnological applications involving fluorinated colloids are being assessed, including in the clinic. Further uses of PFC-based colloidal nanotherapeutics will be briefly mentioned that concern contrast diagnostic imaging, including molecular imaging and immune cell tracking; controlled delivery of therapeutic energy, as for noninvasive surgical ablation and sonothrombolysis; and delivery of drugs and genes, including across the blood-brain barrier. Even when the fluorinated colloids investigated are designed for other purposes than O2 supply, they will inevitably also carry and deliver a certain amount of O2, and may thus be considered for O2 delivery or co-delivery applications. Conversely, O2-carrying PFC nanoemulsions possess by nature a unique aptitude for 19F MR imaging, and hence, cell tracking, while PFC-stabilized microbubbles are ideal resonators for ultrasound contrast imaging and can undergo precise manipulation and on-demand destruction by ultrasound waves, thereby opening multiple theranostic opportunities.

Abstract
The use of α-bromoisobutyryl-functionalized polydopamine (PDA), derived from an in situ mixture with dopamine (DA) and α-bromoisobutyryl bromide, enables surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) of a broad range of methacrylate monomers for surface functionalization. Although the putative intermediate 2-bromo-N-(3,4-dihydroxyphenethyl)-2-methylpropanamide 1 has been proposed to account for the SI-ATRP activity of α-bromoisobutyryl-functionalized PDA, there has not been a systematic investigation on the efficacy of other catechol-derived 2-bromoisobutyryl derivatives for SI-ATRP. In this work, a number of catechol-derived ATRP initiators containing the 2-bromoisobutyryl moiety were designed and synthesized, in an effort to investigate the effect of changes in structure on initiator immobilization, and subsequent ATRP performance. The change in the length of the linker unit bearing the 2-bromoisobutyryl moiety, the introduction of a free amine group, or the replacement of the amide with an ester were found to have profound effects on the ability of the molecule to deposit ATRP-initiator-modified PDA coatings, as well as the subsequent SI-ATRP performance. Among the ATRP initiators synthesized, 5-(2-aminoethyl)-2,3-dihydroxyphenethyl 2-bromo-2-methylpropanoate hydrobromide 4·HBr was most efficiently incorporated into ATRP-initiator-modified PDA coatings and also the best at effecting SI-ATRP with 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate; the high performance of this initiator is likely due to the presence of a free amine and an appropriately long methylene linker unit to the 2-bromoisobutyryl moiety. This methodology was found to be suitable for the functionalization of a range of organic and inorganic surfaces, for the fabrication of high-value surface-grafted polymer brush coatings for various applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Understanding structural interactions between the active drug and conjugated nanoparticles is critical for optimizing intracellular drug transport and for increasing nano drug efficacy. In this regard, analyzing the conformational deformation of conjugated drugs surrounding nanoparticles is essential to understand the corresponding nanodrug efficacy. PURPOSE The objective of this study is to present an optimal synthesis method for efficient drug delivery through a clear structural analysis of nanodrugs according to the type of conjugation. METHODS AND RESULTS In this study, the structural variation of methotrexate (MTX) surrounding carbon nanotubes, depending on the type of conjugation style, such as covalent and non-covalent (PEGylation) bonds, was investigated. Specifically, covalent bonds of MTX surrounding CNTs induced greater structural deformation compared to non-covalent bonds (ie, PEGylated CNT). CONCLUSION Greater changes in the structural variations of MTX analyzed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) significantly improved the anti-inflammatory drug efficacy of human fibroblast-like synovial cells (FLS) via stable drug release in the extracellular environment and burst drug release under intracellular conditions.

Abstract
Hypoxia as one of the most prominent features in tumors, has presented negative effects on tumor therapies including photodynamic therapy, radiotherapy, and chemotherapies, leading to the tumor regeneration and metastasis. Recently, nanomedicines have been proposed to handle the hypoxia dilemma. Some nanomedicines alleviated hypoxia to enhance the therapeutic effect, others used hypoxia-sensitive substances to treat tumor. Among them, macromolecular nanomaterials-based nanomedicine has attracted increased research interest. However, the complicated tumor microenvironment disturbs the practical application of macromolecular nanomaterials to deal with hypoxia. This review highlights the influence of hypoxia on tumor therapy and some new strategies of using macromolecular nanomaterials to overcome hypoxia for effective tumor therapy.

Abstract
Radiodynamic therapy (RDT) is an emerging non-invasive anti-cancer treatment based on the generation of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) at the lesion site following the interaction between X-rays and a photosensitizer drug (PS). The broader application of RDT is impeded by the tumor-associated hypoxia that results in low availability of oxygen for the generation of sufficient amounts of ROS. Herein, a novel nanoparticle drug formulation for RDT, which addresses the problem of low oxygen availability, is reported. It consists of poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) co-loaded with a PS drug verteporfin (VP), and the clinically approved oxygen-carrying molecule, perfluorooctylbromide (PFOB). When triggered by X-rays (4 Gy), under both normoxic and hypoxic conditions, PLGA-VP-PFOB nanoconstructs (NCs) induced a significant increase of the ROS production compared with matching PLGA-VP nanoparticles. The RDT with NCs effectively killed ~60% of human pancreatic cancer cells in monolayer cultures, and almost completely suppressed the outgrowth of tumor cells in 2-weeks clonogenic assay. In a 3D engineered model of pancreatic cancer metastasis to the liver, RDT with NCs destroyed ~35% of tumor cells, demonstrating an exceptional efficiency at a tissue level. These results show that PLGA-VP-PFOB is a promising agent for RDT of deep-seated hypoxic tumors.

Abstract
Given the fact that excessive levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) induce damage to proteins, lipids, and DNA, various ROS-generating agents and strategies have been explored to induce cell death and tumor destruction by generating ROS above toxic threshold. Unfortunately, hypoxia in tumor microenvironment (TME) not only promotes tumor metastasis but also enhances tumor resistance to the ROS-generated cancer therapies, thus leading to ineffective therapeutic outcomes. A variety of nanotechnology-based approaches that generate or release O2 continuously to overcome hypoxia in TME have showed promising results to improve the efficacy of ROS-generated cancer therapy. In this minireview, we present an overview of current nanomaterial-based strategies for advanced cancer therapy by modulating the hypoxia in the TME and promoting ROS generation. Particular emphasis is put on the O2 supply capability and mechanism of these nanoplatforms. Future challenges and opportunities of design consideration are also discussed. We believe that this review may provide some useful inspiration for the design and construction of other advanced nanomaterials with O2 supply ability for overcoming the tumor hypoxia-associated resistance of ROS-mediated cancer therapy and thus promoting ROS-generated cancer therapeutics.

Abstract
Morphology transition of block copolymer assemblies in response to external stimuli has attracted considerable attention. However, our knowledge about the mechanism of such a transition is still limited, especially for rod-coil block copolymers. Here, we report a programmable morphology evolution of assemblies induced by variation of chain ordering for rod-coil-rod triblock copolymers. A sequence of morphology transition from ellipsoids to disks, bowls, and vesicles is observed by increasing the solution temperature. At high temperatures, the mobility of the rod chain increases and the rigidity of the rod chain decreases. This gives rise to an ellipsoid-to-vesicle morphology transition. Dissipative particle dynamics theoretical simulations were performed to reveal the mechanism of this morphology transition process. It was found that the increase of rod chain mobility and the decrease of rod chain rigidity induce a decrease of chain ordering of rod blocks as temperature increases, which results in an ellipsoid-to-vesicle morphology transition. The gained information can guide the construction of nanoassemblies based on the rod-coil block copolymers.

Abstract
Nano- and microemulsions have found various applications in pharmaceutical and medical areas both in research field as well as in applied solutions for drug delivery or diagnostic agents. However, production of stable and bio- / hemocompatible nanoemulsions are still challenging. New group of ionic surfactants have been synthesized with perfluorohexyl- or perfluorooctyl-groups as hydrophobic tail. The CMC and the parametres of the O/W emulsion (the particle size distribution and the zeta-potential) were determined. The influence of the surfactants on in vitro proliferation of human endothelial cell lines HMEC-1, murine fibroblasts L929 and hemolysis were investigated as characteristic for biocompatibility. Three candidates of surfactants were selected for pre-clinical tests on a small animal model (adult Sprague Dawley rats) on the basis of preliminary studies. This allowed to obtain nanoemulsions with narrow droplets size (average droplet diameter 141-147 nm with PDI index 0.059 - 0.065) and showed better stability over time in comparison to the commercially available surfactants. Neither cytotoxic nor hemolytic potential were observed during incubation of obtained fluorosurfactans with model cell lines L929 and HMEC-1 (average cell viability above 85 % after incubation with 1% solutions) and erythrocytes (hemolysis rate below 3.1 % for all 0.5 % solutions). During acute toxicity test on rat model, it was found that all three tested surfactant solutions showed no significant differences in controlled parameters and survival rate with control group (p > 0.05). Presented surfactants are dedicated but not limited to emulsification of organic fluorocompounds.
