Abstract
Polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) is a powerful technique for preparing block copolymer nanostructures. Recently, efforts have been focused on applying photochemistry to promote PISA due to the mild reaction conditions, low cost, and spatiotemporal control that light confers. Despite these advantages, chain-end degradation and long reaction times can mar the efficacy of this process. Herein, we demonstrate the use of ultrafast photoiniferter PISA to produce polymeric nanostructures. By exploiting the rapid photolysis of xanthates, near-quantitative monomer conversion can be achieved within five minutes to prepare micelles, worms, and vesicles at various core-chain lengths, concentrations, or molar compositions.

Abstract
Photoinduced reversible deactivation radical polymerization (photo-RDRP) or photoinduced controlled/living radical polymerization has emerged as a versatile and powerful technique for preparing functional and advanced polymer materials under mild conditions by harnessing light energy. While UV and visible light (λ = 400-700 nm) are extensively employed in photo-RDRP, the utilization of near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths (λ = 700-2500 nm) beyond the visible region remains relatively unexplored. NIR light possesses unique properties, including enhanced light penetration, reduced light scattering, and low biomolecule absorption, thereby providing opportunities for applying photo-RDRP in the fields of manufacturing and medicine. This comprehensive review categorizes all known NIR light-induced RDRP (NIR-RDRP) systems into four mechanism-based types: mediation by upconversion nanoparticles, mediation by photocatalysts, photothermal conversion, and two-photon absorption. The distinct photoinitiation pathways associated with each mechanism are discussed. Furthermore, this review highlights the diverse applications of NIR-RDRP reported to date, including 3D printing, polymer brush fabrication, drug delivery, nanoparticle synthesis, and hydrogel formation. By presenting these applications, the review underscores the exceptional capabilities of NIR-RDRP and offers guidance for developing high-performance and versatile photopolymerization systems. Exploiting the unique properties of NIR light unlocks new opportunities for synthesizing functional and advanced polymer materials.

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
Amphiphilic copolymers can self-assemble into nano-objects in aqueous solution. However, the self-assembly process is usually performed in a diluted solution (<1 wt%), which greatly limits scale-up production and further biomedical applications. With recent development of controlled polymerization techniques, polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) has emerged as an efficient approach for facile fabrication of nano-sized structures with a high concentration as high as 50 wt%. In this review, after the introduction, various polymerization method-mediated PISAs that include nitroxide-mediated polymerization-mediated PISA (NMP-PISA), reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization-mediated PISA (RAFT-PISA), atom transfer radical polymerization-mediated PISA (ATRP-PISA), and ring-opening polymerization-mediated PISA (ROP-PISA) are discussed carefully. Afterward, recent biomedical applications of PISA are illustrated from the following aspects, i.e., bioimaging, disease treatment, biocatalysis, and antimicrobial. In the end, current achievements and future perspectives of PISA are given. It is envisioned that PISA strategy can bring great chance for future design and construction of functional nano-vehicles.

Abstract
Visible light induced polymerizations are a strongly emerging field in recent years. Besides the often mild reaction conditions, visible light offers advantages of spatial and temporal control over chain growth, which makes visible light ideal for functionalization of surfaces and more specifically of nanoscale pores. Current challenges in nanopore functionalization include, in particular, local and highly controlled polymer functionalizations. Using spatially limited light sources such as lasers or near field modes for light-induced polymer functionalization is envisioned to allow local functionalization of nanopores and thereby improve nanoporous material performance. These light sources are usually providing visible light while classical photopolymerizations are mostly based on UV-irradiation. In this review, we highlight developments in visible light induced polymerizations and especially in visible light induced controlled polymerizations as well as their potential for nanopore functionalization. Existing examples of visible light induced polymerizations in nanopores are emphasized.

Abstract
We report on a fundamental feature of photoiniferter polymerizations mediated with trithiocarbonates and xanthates. The polymerizations were found to be highly dependent on the activated electronic excitation of the iniferter. Enhanced rates of polymerization and greater control over molecular weights were observed for trithiocarbonate- and xanthate-mediated photoiniferter polymerizations when the n → π* transition of the iniferter was targeted compared to the polymerizations activating the π → π* transition. The disparities in rates of polymerization were attributed to the increased rate of C-S photolysis which was confirmed using model trapping studies. This study provides valuable insight into the role of electronic excitations in photoiniferter polymerization and provides guidance when selecting irradiation conditions for applications where light sensitivity is important.

Abstract
Constructing artificial systems that effectively replace or supplement natural biological machinery within cells is one of the fundamental challenges underpinning bioengineering. At the sub-cellular scale, artificial organelles (AOs) have significant potential as long-acting biomedical implants, mimicking native organelles by conducting intracellularly compartmentalized enzymatic actions. The potency of these AOs can be heightened when judiciously combined with genetic engineering, producing highly tailorable biohybrid cellular systems. Here, the authors present a cost-effective, microliter scale (10 µL) polymersome (PSome) synthesis based on polymerization-induced self-assembly for the in situ encapsulation of Gaussia luciferase (GLuc), as a model luminescent enzyme. These GLuc-loaded PSomes present ideal features of AOs including enhanced enzymatic resistance to thermal, proteolytic, and intracellular stresses. To demonstrate their biomodulation potential, the intracellular luminescence of GLuc-loaded PSomes is coupled to optogenetically engineered cardiomyocytes, allowing modulation of cardiac beating frequency through treatment with coelenterazine (CTZ) as the substrate for GLuc. The long-term intracellular stability of the luminescent AOs allows this cardiostimulatory phenomenon to be reinitiated with fresh CTZ even after 7 days in culture. This synergistic combination of organelle-mimicking synthetic materials with genetic engineering is therefore envisioned as a highly universal strategy for the generation of new biohybrid cellular systems displaying unique triggerable properties.

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
Light-mediated polymerization techniques offer distinct advantages over polymerization reactions fueled by thermal energy, such as high spatial and temporal control as well as the possibility to work under mild reaction conditions. Reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerization is a highly versatile radical polymerization method that can be utilized to control a variety of monomers and produce a vast number of complex macromolecular structures. The use of light to drive a RAFT-polymerization is possible via multiple routes. Besides the use of photo-initiators, or photo-catalysts, the direct activation of the chain transfer agent controlling the RAFT process in a photo-iniferter (PI) process is an elegant way to initiate and control polymerization reactions. Within this review, PI-RAFT polymerization and its advantages over the conventional RAFT process are discussed in detail.

Abstract
To prepare molecular bottlebrushes with high yield via a grafting-from strategy using a reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) technique has always been a big challenge due to the intra- and intermolecular radical-radical coupling. Herein, a polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA)-assisted grafting-from strategy based on reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) dispersion polymerization was developed to synthesize the Janus molecular bottlebrushes with a well-defined structure and high yield using polynorbornene-g-(poly(ethylene glycols)-branch-RAFT agent) (PNB-g-(PEG-branch-CTA)) as a solvophilic multifunctional macro-CTA. The results indicated the biradical coupling terminations of propagating side chains could be significantly suppressed due to the nanoconfinement effect in the PISA of the generated Janus molecular bottlebrushes. Janus molecular bottlebrushes with a narrow molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn < 1.25) and negligible intermolecular cross-linking at monomer conversion as high as 84% were prepared, demonstrating the efficiency and versatility of the PISA-assisted grafting-from approach.

Abstract
Radical polymerization with reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT polymerization) has been successfully applied to generate polymers of well-defined architecture. For RAFT polymerization a source of radicals is required. Recent work has demonstrated that for minimal side-reactions and high spatio-temporal control these should be formed directly from the RAFT agent or macroRAFT agent (usually carbonothiosulfanyl compounds) thermally, photochemically or by electrochemical reduction. In this work, we investigated low-energy electron attachment to a common RAFT agent (cyanomethyl benzodithioate), and, for comparison, a simple carbonothioylsulfanyl compound (dimethyl trithiocarbonate, DMTTC) in the gas phase by means of mass spectrometry as well as quantum chemical calculations. We observe for both compounds that specific cleavage of the C-S bond is induced upon low-energy electron attachment at electron energies close to zero eV. This applies even in the case of a poor homolytic leaving group (. CH3 in DMTTC). All other dissociation reactions found at higher electron energies are much less abundant. The present results show a high control of the chemical reactions induced by electron attachment.

Abstract
Over the past decade or so, polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) has become a versatile method for rational preparation of concentrated block copolymer nanoparticles with a diverse set of morphologies. Much of the PISA literature has focused on the preparation of well-defined linear block copolymers by using linear macromolecular chain transfer agents (macro-CTAs) with high chain transfer constants. In this review, a recent process is highlighted from an unusual angle that has expanded the scope of PISA including i) synthesis of block copolymers with nonlinear architectures (e.g., star block copolymer, branched block copolymer) by PISA, ii) in situ synthesis of blends of polymers by PISA, and iii) utilization of macro-CTAs with low chain transfer constants in PISA. By highlighting these important examples, new insights into the research of PISA and future impact these methods will have on polymer and colloid synthesis are provided.

Abstract
Herein, we establish the effect of intensity and wavelength on the size of microparticles formed via precipitation polymerization, employing photocrosslinkable prepolymers. Simultaneous measurement of backscattered laser irradiation enabled real-time tracking of particle growth and provides the ability to vary the LED intensity (λmax = 415 nm) during various stages of particle growth. Critically, particle diameters can be controlled between 200 and 700 nm by varying the LED power from 73 to 0.63 mW, respectively. High intensities during the nucleation phase-spanning only the initial seconds-were found to dictate the particle diameter, irrespective of the energy used during the growth phase. Finally, a bathochromic shift was observed between the wavelength generating the highest rate of particle formation and the absorbance maxima of the photoactive group. We submit that these findings are broadly applicable in the continuously developing field of photoinitiated synthesis of polymer particles.

Abstract
We report on two important advances in radical polymerization with reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT polymerization). (1) Electrochemically initiated emulsion RAFT (eRAFT) polymerization provides rapid polymerization of styrene at ambient temperature. The electrolytes and mediators required for eRAFT are located in the aqueous continuous phase separate from the low-molar-mass-dispersity macroRAFT agent mediator and product in the dispersed phase. Use of a poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide)-block-poly(butyl acrylate) amphiphilic macroRAFT agent composition means that no added surfactant is required for colloidal stability. (2) Direct photoinitiated (visible light) RAFT polymerization provides an effective route to high-purity, low-molar-mass-dispersity, side chain liquid-crystalline polymers (specifically, poly(4-biphenyl acrylate)) at high monomer conversion. Photoinitiation gives a product free from low-molar-mass initiator-derived by-products and with minimal termination. The process is compared with thermal dialkyldiazene initiation in various solvents. Numerical simulation was found to be an important tool in discriminating between the processes and in selecting optimal polymerization conditions.

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.

Abstract
Over the past two decades, block copolymer vesicles have been widely used by many research groups to encapsulate small molecule drugs, genetic material, nanoparticles or enzymes. They have also been used to design examples of autonomous self-propelled nanoparticles. Traditionally, such vesicles are prepared via post-polymerization processing using a water-miscible co-solvent such as DMF or THF. However, such protocols are invariably conducted in dilute solution, which is a significant disadvantage. In addition, the vesicle size distribution is often quite broad, whereas aqueous dispersions of relatively small vesicles with narrow size distributions are highly desirable for potential biomedical applications. Alternatively, concentrated dispersions of block copolymer vesicles can be directly prepared via polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA). Moreover, using a binary mixture of a relatively long and a relatively short steric stabilizer block enables the convenient PISA synthesis of relatively small vesicles with reasonably narrow size distributions in alcoholic media (C. Gonzato et al., JACS, 2014, 136, 11100-11106). Unfortunately, this approach has not yet been demonstrated for aqueous media, which would be much more attractive for commercial applications. Herein we show that this important technical objective can be achieved by judicious use of two chemically distinct, enthalpically incompatible steric stabilizer blocks, which ensures the desired microphase separation across the vesicle membrane. This leads to the formation of well-defined vesicles of around 200 nm diameter (size polydispersity = 13-16%) in aqueous media at 10% w/w solids as judged by transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering and small-angle X-ray scattering.

Abstract
The development of advanced materials based on well-defined polymeric architectures is proving to be a highly prosperous research direction across both industry and academia. Controlled radical polymerization techniques are receiving unprecedented attention, with reversible-deactivation chain growth procedures now routinely leveraged to prepare exquisitely precise polymer products. Reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization is a powerful protocol within this domain, where the unique chemistry of thiocarbonylthio (TCT) compounds can be harnessed to control radical chain growth of vinyl polymers. With the intense recent focus on RAFT, new strategies for initiation and external control have emerged that are paving the way for preparing well-defined polymers for demanding applications. In this work, the cutting-edge innovations in RAFT that are opening up this technique to a broader suite of materials researchers are explored. Emerging strategies for activating TCTs are surveyed, which are providing access into traditionally challenging environments for reversible-deactivation radical polymerization. The latest advances and future perspectives in applying RAFT-derived polymers are also shared, with the goal to convey the rich potential of RAFT for an ever-expanding range of high-performance applications.

Abstract
In this study, we report dual roles for doxorubicin (DOX), which can serve as an antitumor drug as well as a cocatalyst for a photoliving radical polymerization. DOX enhances the polymerization rates of a broad range of monomers, including acrylamide, acrylate, and methacrylates, allowing for high monomer conversion and well-defined molecular weights under irradiation with a blue light-emitting diode light (λmax = 485 nm, 2.2 mW/cm2). Utilizing this property, the photopolymerization of N,N-diethylacrylamide was performed in the presence of a poly(oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether acrylate) macroreversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (macroRAFT) agent to prepare polymeric nanoparticles via aqueous polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA). By varying the monomer:macroRAFT ratio, spherical polymeric nanoparticles of various diameters could be produced. Most notably, DOX was successfully encapsulated into the hydrophobic core of nanoparticles during the PISA process. The DOX-loaded nanoparticles were effectively uptaken into tumor cells and significantly inhibited the proliferation of tumor cells, demonstrating that the DOX bioactivity was not affected by the polymerization reaction.

Abstract
The near-field of surface plasmon resonances at planar metal surfaces is confined to the nanoscale, but its resonance wavelength is located in the visible light range, making it interesting for confining polymer functionalization of surfaces but incompatible with the majority of polymerization reactions. Here, fluorescein as a polymerization initiator allowing dye-sensitized polymerization with green light (438-540 nm) is demonstrated to allow polymer functionalization of mesoporous films deposited onto planar silver metal layers. The fluorescein-induced polymer functionalization of mesoporous silica films is investigated with respect to the influence of irradiation power and irradiation time and its potential to generate polymer gradients. Finally, the polymer functionalization of mesoporous films upon surface-plasmon-initiated polymerization is demonstrated. Polymer functionalization thereby determines pH-responsive ionic mesopore accessibility. Consequently, these results present a sound basis for further nanoscale near-field-induced polymer functionalization of porous films.

Abstract
The past decades have witnessed an increasing interest in developing advanced polymerization techniques subjected to external fields. Various physical modulations, such as temperature, light, electricity, magnetic field, ultrasound, and microwave irradiation, are noninvasive means, having superb but distinct abilities to regulate polymerizations in terms of process intensification and spatial and temporal controls. Gas as an emerging regulator plays a distinctive role in controlling polymerization and resembles a physical regulator in some cases. This review provides a systematic overview of seven types of external-field-regulated polymerizations, ranging from chain-growth to step-growth polymerization. A detailed account of the relevant mechanism and kinetics is provided to better understand the role of each external field in polymerization. In addition, given the crucial role of modeling and simulation in mechanisms and kinetics investigation, an overview of model construction and typical numerical methods used in this field as well as highlights of the interaction between experiment and simulation toward kinetics in the existing systems are given. At the end, limitations and future perspectives for this field are critically discussed. This state-of-the-art research progress not only provides the fundamental principles underlying external-field-regulated polymerizations but also stimulates new development of advanced polymerization methods.
