Abstract
Since the first use of vaccine tell the last COVID-19 pandemic caused by spread of SARS-CoV-2 worldwide, the use of advanced biotechnological techniques has accelerated the development of different types and methods for immunization. The last pandemic showed that the nucleic acid-based vaccine, especially mRNA, has an advantage in terms of development time; however, it showed a very critical drawback namely, the higher costs when compared to other strategies, and its inability to protect against new variants. This showed the need of more improvement to reach a better delivery and efficacy. In this review we will describe different vaccine delivery systems including, the most used viral vector, and also variable strategies for delivering of nucleic acid-based vaccines especially lipid-based nanoparticles formulation, polymersomes, electroporation and also the new powerful tools for the delivery of mRNA, which is based on the use of cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs). Additionally, we will also discuss the main challenges associated with each system. Finlay, the efficacy and safety of the vaccines depends not only on the formulations and delivery systems, but also the dosage and route of administration are also important players, therefore we will see the different routes for the vaccine administration including traditionally routes (intramuscular, Transdermal, subcutaneous), oral inhalation or via nasal mucosa, and will describe the advantages and disadvantage of each administration route.

Capturing Enzyme-Loaded Diblock Copolymer Vesicles Using an Aldehyde-Functionalized Hydrophilic Polymer Brush. LANGMUIR : THE ACS JOURNAL OF SURFACES AND COLLOIDS 2024; 40:14086-14098. [PMID: 38934738 PMCID: PMC11238591 DOI: 10.1021/acs.langmuir.4c01561] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2024] [Revised: 06/04/2024] [Accepted: 06/12/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
Compared to lipids, block copolymer vesicles are potentially robust nanocontainers for enzymes owing to their enhanced chemical stability, particularly in challenging environments. Herein we report that cis-diol-functional diblock copolymer vesicles can be chemically adsorbed onto a hydrophilic aldehyde-functional polymer brush via acetal bond formation under mild conditions (pH 5.5, 20 °C). Quartz crystal microbalance studies indicated an adsorbed amount, Γ, of 158 mg m-2 for vesicle adsorption onto such brushes, whereas negligible adsorption (Γ = 0.1 mg m-2) was observed for a control experiment conducted using a cis-diol-functionalized brush. Scanning electron microscopy and ellipsometry studies indicated a mean surface coverage of around 30% at the brush surface, which suggests reasonably efficient chemical adsorption. Importantly, such vesicles can be conveniently loaded with a model enzyme (horseradish peroxidase, HRP) using an aqueous polymerization-induced self-assembly formulation. Moreover, the immobilized vesicles remained permeable toward small molecules while retaining their enzyme payload. The enzymatic activity of such HRP-loaded vesicles was demonstrated using a well-established colorimetric assay. In principle, this efficient vesicle-on-brush strategy can be applied to a wide range of enzymes and functional proteins for the design of next-generation immobilized nanoreactors for enzyme-mediated catalysis.

Abstract
The de novo construction of a living organism is a compelling vision. Despite the astonishing technologies developed to modify living cells, building a functioning cell "from scratch" has yet to be accomplished. The pursuit of this goal alone has─and will─yield scientific insights affecting fields as diverse as cell biology, biotechnology, medicine, and astrobiology. Multiple approaches have aimed to create biochemical systems manifesting common characteristics of life, such as compartmentalization, metabolism, and replication and the derived features, evolution, responsiveness to stimuli, and directed movement. Significant achievements in synthesizing each of these criteria have been made, individually and in limited combinations. Here, we review these efforts, distinguish different approaches, and highlight bottlenecks in the current research. We look ahead at what work remains to be accomplished and propose a "roadmap" with key milestones to achieve the vision of building cells from molecular parts.

Abstract
Membrane proteins (MPs) play key roles in cellular signaling pathways and are responsible for intercellular and intracellular interactions. Dysfunctional MPs are directly related to the pathogenesis of various diseases, and they have been exploited as one of the most sought-after targets in the pharmaceutical industry. However, working with MPs is difficult given that their amphiphilic nature requires protection from biological membrane or membrane mimetics. Polymersomes are bilayered nano-vesicles made of self-assembled block copolymers that have been widely used as cell membrane mimetics for MP reconstitution and in engineering of artificial cells. This review highlights the prevailing trend in the application of polymersomes in MP study and drug discovery. We begin with a review on the techniques for synthesis and characterization of polymersomes as well as methods of MP insertion to form proteopolymersomes. Next, we review the structural and functional analysis of the different types of MPs reconstituted in polymersomes, including membrane transport proteins, MP complexes, and membrane receptors. We then summarize the factors affecting reconstitution efficiency and the quality of reconstituted MPs for structural and functional studies. Additionally, we discuss the potential in using proteopolymersomes as platforms for high-throughput screening (HTS) in drug discovery to identify modulators of MPs. We conclude by providing future perspectives and recommendations on advancing the study of MPs and drug development using proteopolymersomes.

Abstract
The integration of active cell machinery with synthetic building blocks is the bridge toward developing synthetic cells with biological functions and beyond. Self-replication is one of the most important tasks of living systems, and various complex machineries exist to execute it. In Escherichia coli, a contractile division ring is positioned to mid-cell by concentration oscillations of self-organizing proteins (MinCDE), where it severs membrane and cell wall. So far, the reconstitution of any cell division machinery has exclusively been tied to liposomes. Here, the reconstitution of a rudimentary bacterial divisome in fully synthetic bicomponent dendrimersomes is shown. By tuning the membrane composition, the interaction of biological machinery with synthetic membranes can be tailored to reproduce its dynamic behavior. This constitutes an important breakthrough in the assembly of synthetic cells with biological elements, as tuning of membrane-divisome interactions is the key to engineering emergent biological behavior from the bottom-up.

Abstract
The construction of biomembranes that faithfully capture the properties and dynamic functions of cell membranes remains a challenge in the development of synthetic cells and their application. Here a new concept for synthetic cell membranes based on the self-assembly of amphiphilic comb polymers into vesicles, termed ionic combisomes (i-combisomes) is introduced. These combs consist of a polyzwitterionic backbone to which hydrophobic tails are linked by electrostatic interactions. Using a range of microscopies and molecular simulations, the self-assembly of a library of combs in water is screened. It is discovered that the hydrophobic tails form the membrane's core and force the backbone into a rod conformation with nematic-like ordering confined to the interface with water. This particular organization resulted in membranes that combine the stability of classic polymersomes with the biomimetic thickness, flexibility, and lateral mobility of liposomes. Such unparalleled matching of biophysical properties and the ability to locally reconfigure the molecular topology of its constituents enable the harboring of functional components of natural membranes and fusion with living bacteria to "hijack" their periphery. This provides an almost inexhaustible palette to design the chemical and biological makeup of the i-combisomes membrane resulting in a powerful platform for fundamental studies and technological applications.

Abstract
Polymeric vesicles served as the most promising candidates of drug delivery nanocarriers are attracting increasing attention in cancer therapy. Significant advantages have been reported, including hydrophilic molecules with high loading capacity, controllable drug release, rapid and smart responses to stimuli and versatile functionalities. In this study, we have made a systematic review of all aspects of nano-vesicles as drug delivery vectors for cancer treatment, mainly including the following aspect: characteristics of polymeric nanovesicles, polymeric nanovesicle synthesis, and recent progress in applying polymeric nanovesicles in antitumor drug delivery. Polymer nanovesicles have the advantages of synergistic photothermal and imaging in improving the anticancer effect. Therefore, we believe that drug carrier of polymer nanovesicles is a key direction for cancer treatment.

Abstract
The challenge of effective integration and use of artificial organelles with orthogonal-responsive membranes and their communication in eukaryotic protocells is to understand the intrinsic membrane characteristics. Here, a novel photo-crosslinked and pH-responsive polymersome (Psome B) with 2-(N,N'-diisopropylamino)ethyl units in the membrane and its respective Avidin-Psome B hybrids, are reported as good candidates for artificial organelles. Biotinylated (macro)molecules are able to dock and diffuse into Avidin-Psome B to carry out biological activity in a pH- and size-dependent manner. Combined with another polymersome (Psome A) with 2-(N,N'-diethylamino)ethyl units in the membrane, two different pH-responsive polymersomes for mimicking different organelles in one protocell system are reported. The different intrinsic docking and diffusion processes of cargo (macro)molecules through the membranes of coexisting Psome A and B are pH-dependent as confirmed using pH titration-dynamic light scattering (DLS). Psome A and B show separated "open", "closing/opening", and "closed" states at various pH ranges with different membrane permeability. The results pave the way for the construction of multicompartmentalized protocells with controlled communications between different artificial organelles.

Abstract
A new method of stimuli-responsive proteinosome fabrication with the shell cross-linked micelle as a template is reported in this research. A thermoresponsive diblock copolymer poly[di(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate]-b-poly[poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate-co-pyridyl disulfide methacrylamide] [PDEGMA-b-P(PEGMA-co-PDSMA)] was synthesized and self-assembled into micelles with PDEGMA cores and P(PEGMA-co-PDSMA) shells at the temperature above its lower critical solution temperature (LCST). Reduced bovine serum albumin (BSA) molecules with six thiol groups were used to cross-link the shells of the micelles by reacting with the pendant pyridyl disulfide groups on the P(PEGMA-co-PDSMA) block. At a temperature below the LCST of the polymer, the PDEGMA cores were dissolved in water, affording proteinosomes with a size of about 50 nm and capsule-like structures. The proteinosome was also thermoresponsive with a phase transition temperature at 35 °C. The fabrication of the proteinosome had no obvious influence on the structure and activity of BSA, and BSA retained most of its secondary structure and esterase-like activity. Because the BSA molecules were connected to the polymer chains through disulfide bonds, they could be released upon addition of dithiothreitol. The in vitro cell viability evaluation and the cellular uptake assay demonstrated that the proteinosome showed low toxicity to NIH 3T3 and 4T1 cells and could be internalized into the 4T1 cells.

Microfluidic production of protein loaded chimeric stealth liposomes. Int J Pharm 2020; 590:119955.

Abstract
The addition of polyethylene glycol (PEG) on the surface of liposomes increases their circulation time when administered intravenously. However, the inclusion of PEG using PEGylated phospholipids could result in a possible micelles formation. The development of chimeric systems mixing synthetic biocompatible and biodegradable PEG-containing copolymers with lipids is a strategy to obtain as well PEGylated liposomes. Microfluidics is an innovative manufacturing technology easy to scale up that presents high reproducibility, low batch-to-batch variation, and better control over particles characteristics. Taking advantage of this technique, in this research work, chimeric stealth liposomes were produced mixing five different synthesized methoxy-poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(δ-decalactone) (mPEG-PDL, varying in polymer length) with 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) and cholesterol. The obtained chimeric formulations were around 150 nm in size with a narrow distribution and an almost neutral surface charge. Ovalbumin (OVA) was used as a model protein to evaluate the loading potential reaching an encapsulation efficiency of 41 ± 4%. The prepared systems showed no cytotoxicity in vitro on THP-1 cell with an uptake up to 89 ± 4% after 3 h. Finally, protein integrity after encapsulation was confirmed with DQ-OVA. In this work, we demonstrated that using microfluidics, it is possible to produce stable and highly protein-loaded chimeric stealth liposomes with good physicochemical characteristics, no toxicity, protein integrity, and effective uptake by endocytosis.

Abstract
The self-assembly of nanostructures from conjugates of elastin-like peptides and collagen-like peptides (ELP-CLP) has been studied as means to produce thermoresponsive, collagen-binding drug delivery vehicles. Motivated by our previous work in which ELP-CLP conjugates successfully self-assembled into vesicles and platelet-like nanostructures, here, we extend our library of ELP-CLP bioconjugates to a series of tryptophan/phenylalanine-containing ELPs and GPO-based CLPs [W2F x -b-(GPO) y ] with various domain lengths to determine the impact of these modifications on the thermoresponsiveness and morphology. The lower transition temperature of the conjugates with longer ELP or CLP domains enables the formation of well-defined nanoparticles near physiological temperature. Moreover, the morphological transition from vesicles to platelet-like nanostructures occurred when the ratio of the lengths of ELP/CLP decreased. Given the previously demonstrated ability of many ELP-CLP bioconjugates to bind to both hydrophobic drugs and collagen-containing materials, our results suggest new opportunities for designing specific thermoresponsive nanostructures for targeted biological applications.

Abstract
There is an increasing interest in biocatalysis to perform chemical reactions in biphasic systems, consisting of an aqueous phase and a water-immiscible organic solvent or ionic liquid. In most cases, the hydrophobic phase is used as reservoir for poorly water-soluble substrates or for in situ product removal. However, many enzymes are solvent-sensitive and cannot be used in such systems. In this study, the solvent-sensitive enzyme mandelate racemase is exemplarily protected from the organic phase by its entrapment in (crosslinked) polymersomes. The covalent crosslinking of the individual chains of the block copolymer poly(2-methyloxazoline)15 -poly(dimethylsiloxane)68 -poly(2-methyloxazoline)15 via terminal methacrylates leads to enhanced membrane stability. This effect is especially pronounced for long-time incubation in the presence of organic solvents and ionic liquids. By using a gentle polymerization initiator at its minimal necessary concentration, the prior encapsulated enzymes remain intact during crosslinking. Although the insertion of natural channel proteins into the membrane improves the mass transport into the vesicles, it is non-essential. Mandelate racemase in (crosslinked) polymersomes remains active in different highly dispersed biphasic systems for more than 24 h. The free enzyme, on the other hand, gets completely inactivated within 1 h, thus illustrating the potential of polymersomes as nanoreactors in biphasic reaction setups.

Abstract
AbstractSelf-assembly of amphiphilic block copolymers into polymersomes continues to be a hot topic in modern research on biomimetics. Their well-known and valued mechanical strength can be increased even further if they are cross-linked. These additional bonds prevent a collapse or disassembly of the polymersomes and open the way towards smart nanoreactors. A variety of chemistries have been applied to obtain the desired cross-linked polymersomes, and therefore, the chemical approaches performed over time will be highlighted in this mini-review. Due to the large number of studies, a selected set of photo-cross-linked and pH-sensitive polymersomes will be specifically highlighted. This system has proven to be a very potent candidate for the formation of nanoreactors and drug delivery systems, and even for the formation of functional multicompartment cell mimics.

Abstract
Vesicles composed of diblock copolymers, or polymersomes, have proven to possess numerous applications ranging from drug delivery to catalytically driven nano-motors. The shape of a polymersome can be responsive to external stimuli, such as light or solvent. Molecular dynamics simulations reveal that the shape change upon the contraction of the inner volume of a polymersome vesicle occurs in two separate regimes-a stretching regime and a bending regime. The barrier is shown to be dependent on the solvent environment. These results suggest that tailoring the bending modulus of polymer membranes can be used as a design methodology to engineer new stimuli-responsive vesicles.

Abstract
One practical approach towards robust and stable biomimetic platforms is to generate hybrid bilayers that incorporate both lipids and block co-polymer amphiphiles. The currently limited number of reports on the interaction of glass surfaces with hybrid lipid and polymer vesicles—DOPC mixed with amphiphilic poly(ethylene oxide-b-butadiene) (PEO-PBd)—describe substantially different conclusions under very similar conditions (i.e., same pH). In this study, we varied vesicle composition and solution pH in order to generate a broader picture of spontaneous hybrid lipid/polymer vesicle interactions with rigid supports. Using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D), we followed the interaction of hybrid lipid-polymer vesicles with borosilicate glass as a function of pH. We found pH-dependent adsorption/fusion of hybrid vesicles that accounts for some of the contradictory results observed in previous studies. Our results show that the formation of hybrid lipid-polymer bilayers is highly pH dependent and indicate that the interaction between glass surfaces and hybrid DOPC/PEO-PBd can be tuned with pH.

Abstract
How biomembranes are self-organized to perform their functions remains a pivotal issue in biological and chemical science. Understanding the self-assembly principles of lipid-like molecules hence becomes crucial. Herein, we report the mesostructural evolution of amphiphilic sphere-rod conjugates (giant lipids), and study the roles of geometric parameters (head-tail ratio and cross-sectional area) during this course. As a prototype system, giant lipids resemble natural lipidic molecules by capturing their essential features. The self-assembly behavior of two categories of giant lipids (I-shape and T-shape, a total of 8 molecules) is demonstrated. A rich variety of mesostructures is constructed in solution state and their molecular packing models are rationally understood. Giant lipids recast the phase behavior of natural lipids to a certain degree and the abundant self-assembled morphologies reveal distinct physiochemical behaviors when geometric parameters deviate from natural analogues.

Abstract
The long-standing goal in membrane development is creating materials with superior transport properties, including both high flux and high selectivity. These properties are common in biological membranes, and thus mimicking nature is a promising strategy towards improved membrane design. In previous studies, we have shown that artificial water channels can have excellent water transport abilities that are comparable to biological water channel proteins, aquaporins. In this study, we propose a strategy for incorporation of artificial channels that mimic biological channels into stable polymeric membranes. Specifically, we synthesized an amphiphilic triblock copolymer, poly(isoprene)-block-poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(isoprene), which is a high molecular weight synthetic analog of naturally occurring lipids in terms of its self-assembled structure. This polymer was used to build stacked membranes composed of self-assembled lamellae. The resulting membranes resemble layers of natural lipid bilayers in living systems, but with superior mechanical properties suitable for real-world applications. The procedures used to synthesize the triblock copolymer resulted in membranes with increased stability due to the crosslinkability of the hydrophobic domains. Furthermore, the introduction of bridging hydrophilic domains leads to the preservation of the stacked membrane structure when the membrane is in contact with water, something that is challenging for diblock lamellae that tend to swell, and delaminate in aqueous solutions. This new method of membrane fabrication offers a practical model for making channel-based biomimetic membranes, which may lead to technological applications in reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, and ultrafiltration membranes.

Abstract
Microcapsules are often used as individually dispersed carriers of active ingredients to prolong their shelf life or to protect premature reactions with substances contained in the surrounding. This study goes beyond this application and employs microcapsules as principal building blocks of macroscopic 3D materials with well-defined granular structures. To achieve this goal and inspired by nature, capsules are fabricated from block-copolymer surfactants that are functionalized with catechols, a metal-coordinating motive. These surfactants self-assemble at the surface of emulsion drops where they are ionically cross-linked to form viscoelastic capsules that display a low permeability even toward small encapsulants. It is demonstrated that the combination of the mechanical strength, flexibility, and stickiness of the capsules enables their additive manufacturing into macroscopic granular structures. Thereby, they open up new opportunities for 3D printing of soft, self-healing materials composed of individual compartments that can be functionalized with different types of spatially separated reagents.

Abstract
Polymersomes are of interest as nanocarriers due to their physical and chemical robustness, which arises from the macromolecular nature of their block copolymer components. However, the physical robustness of polymersomes impairs transmembrane diffusion and responsiveness to mechanical forces. Polymer nanocarriers that can reversibly deform under stress while maintaining structural integrity and transmembrane diffusivity are desired for development of gas transport vehicles. Here, we report polymersomes composed of amphiphilic block copolymers containing polydimethylsiloxane with side-chain pendant vinyl groups. A reversibly deformable polymersome compartmentalizing membrane was obtained by cross-linkage of PEG- b-poly(dimethyl- r-methylvinyl)silane in a self-assembled bilayer via photoradical generation in aqueous media. The covalently cross-linked polymersomes exhibited superior physical robustness compared to unlinked polymersomes while maintaining deformability under stress. Transmembrane oxygen diffusion was confirmed when lumen-encapsulated Zn-porphyrin generated singlet O2 under irradiation, and the anthracene-9,10-dipropionic acid O2 quencher was consumed. Polymersome-encapsulated hemoglobin bound oxygen reversibly, indicating the polymersomes could be used as O2 carriers that reversibly deform without sacrificing structural integrity or oxygen transportability.

Abstract
Utilizing the unique solubility of poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) (PMPC), which is soluble in only water and alcohol, we synthesized a water-soluble block copolymer emulsifier composed of a hydrophilic PMPC block and an amphiphilic poly[oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylate] (POEGMA) block via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. Water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions were successfully formed in the presence of the resulting PMPC- b-POEGMA, which acted as a stabilizer of water droplets in a chloroform continuous phase because the PMPC and POEGMA blocks were distributed to the water and chloroform phases, respectively. Next, the amphiphilic poly[poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate] (PPEGMA) gel layer, which contained bis(2-methacryloyl)oxyethyl disulfide as a reductively responsive cross-linker, was prepared by inverse miniemulsion periphery RAFT polymerization from the PMPC- b-POEGMA that stabilized the W/O emulsions. The resulting PPEGMA gel capsules were colloidally stable in not only chloroform but also water without additional hydrophilic surface modification. The drug-release behavior from the PPEGMA gel capsules in response to dithiothreitol (DTT), which is a reducing agent, was investigated using fluorescein-conjugated dextran (FITC-Dex) as a model drug. The FITC-Dex release rate from the gel capsules in a phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.4, 20 mM) with DTT was fast compared to that without DTT. The reductively responsive FITC-Dex release is attributed to the cleavage of disulfide bonds that act as cross-links in the PPEGMA gel layer. The fascinating properties of the PPEGMA gel capsules suggest that they can provide a useful platform for designing drug carriers for protein and gene delivery and nanobioreactors.

Abstract
Amphiphilic block co-polymers are used to form large spherical vesicles. A sudden change in the osmotic pressure across the polymer membrane is used to induce the fission of the polymer vesicle. The membrane area to volume ratio, as expected, is observed to be a parameter suitable to describe the process and even mark the critical points along this transition. The effect of the length of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic chains on the fission process is analyzed. The effects of membrane lamellarity and initial polydispersity are thoroughly analyzed from the experimental data following mathematical models, and the phenomenon of fission in these polymer vesicles is understood via measurements characterizing the membrane, i.e., area stretch modulus.

Abstract
The vesicle is one of the most intriguing platforms for drug delivery, which is believed to improve drug efficacy. In the past few decades, a great deal of materials have been explored to make vesicles, including lipids, block copolymers, dendrons, erythrocyte membranes, and even DNA. Other than shape and size control, most efforts are focused on achieving certain functions, for example, an abundance of stimuli-responsive features are introduced to vesicles, which can be applied to controllable release, such as pH, redox, light, radiation, enzyme etc. Besides, crosslinking or pegylation is used to increase vesicles' stability and elongate circulation time. By incorporating affinity ligands, vesicles can further accumulate to diseased cells or tissues to achieve targeting properties. Recently, multidrug delivery is believed to show a synergy effect in cancer therapy and has become a new direction in this field. However, coloading hydrophilic-hydrophobic small molecules, oligonucleotides, and peptides in the same size- and shape-controlled vesicle through a stepwise manner with high efficiency is still challenging. Herein, a modularly designable vesicle is reported for sequential multiple loading based on frame-guided assembly, which is believed to be an outstanding platform for drug delivery in the future.

Abstract
Polymersomes, vesicles composed of block copolymers, are promising candidates as membrane alternatives and functional containers, e.g., as potential carriers for functional molecules because of their stability and tunable membrane properties. In the scope of possible use for membrane protein delivery to cells by electrofusion, we investigated the cytotoxicity of such polymersomes as well as the effects of nanosecond electric pulses with variable repetition rate on the shape and permeability of polymersomes in buffers with different conductivities. The polymersomes did not show cytotoxic effects to CHO and B16-F1 cells in vitro in concentrations up to 250 µg/mL (for 48 h) or 1.35 mg/mL (for 60 min), which renders them suitable for interacting with living cells. We observed a significant effect of the pulse repetition rate on electrodeformation of the polymersomes. The electrodeformation was most pronounced in low conductivity buffer, which is favorable for performing electrofusion with cells. However, despite more pronounced deformation at higher pulse repetition rate, the electroporation performance of polymersomes was unaffected and remained in similar ranges both at 10 Hz and 10 kHz. This phenomenon is possibly due to the higher stability and rigidity of polymer vesicles, compared to liposomes, and can serve as an advantage (or disadvantage) depending on the aim in employing polymersomes such as stable membrane alternative architectures or drug vehicles.

Abstract
Our group recently introduced a new process to synthesize nanoparticle shells of about 100 nm, named "hybridosomes®". Here, the structure and mechanical properties of hybridosomes® made from iron oxide nanoparticles and poly(acrylic acid) are characterized using TEM, AFM and an osmotic compression technique. For the latter, the size distribution of the hybridosomes is monitored by nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) in the presence of poly(ethylene glycol)s of different molecular weights. It is found that the size of the hybridosomes® can be tuned from ca. 80 nm to over 110 nm by adjusting the amount of nanoparticles and that their shell consists of a single layer of nanoparticles, with a porous structure. The size of the pores is estimated from osmotic compression experiments at ca. 4000 g mol-1. The mechanical properties are measured both at the ensemble level using size measurements under osmotic pressure and at the single nanoparticle level by atomic force microscopy nanoindentation. Both osmotic and AFM experiments are analyzed in the framework of the continuum elastic theory of thin shells and yield a value of Young's modulus of the order of MPa.

Abstract
Stealth nanocarriers are a promising technology for the treatment of diseases. However, the preparation and characterization of well-defined soft nanoparticulate systems remain challenging. Here we describe a platform of amphiphilic graft copolymers leading to nanoparticles with multiple morphologies and the role of the hydrophilic backbone in their interaction with a model protein. The amphiphilic graft copolymers platform was composed of hydrophilic backbone poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline-co-2-pentyl-2-oxazoline) (P(MeOx-co-PentOx)), prepared via cationic ring-opening polymerization. Hydrophobic poly(d,l-lactide) (PLA) chains were grafted on the backbone via Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. The "click" copper-catalyzed cycloaddition reactions of azides with alkynes (CuAAC) were successfully carried out, and a series of amphiphilic copolymers were prepared containing a backbone with a number-average molecular weight of 14.2 × 103 g mol-1 and different hydrophobic PLA grafts with various molecular weights (2.8 × 103-12.4 × 103 g mol-1). These original architectures of copolymers, when nanoprecipitated in water, the backbone-selective solvent, allowed us to obtain various structures of nanoparticles with a hydrodynamic diameter in the range of 65-99 nm. More interestingly, a plurality of morphologies going from unilamellar, multilamellar, and large compound vesicles to core-shell nanoparticles and depending on the PLA molecular weights were evidenced by combining cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) studies. A first evaluation of their stealthiness by studying the stability and the interaction of these nano-objects with a model protein revealed the role played by the P(MeOx-co-PentOx) in these interactions, demonstrating the utility of this amphiphilic graft copolymers platform with well-defined architectures for the design of nanocarriers in drug delivery applications.

Abstract
Polymersomes are self-assembled vesicles of amphiphilic block copolymers and have been explored for wide applications from drug delivery to micro/nanoreactors. As polymersomes are soft and highly deformable, their shape instability due to osmolarity difference across polymer membranes and low elasticity could conversely limit their practical use. Instead of selecting particular polymer chemical reactions to enhance the mechanical properties, we have employed inorganic polyoxometalate (POM) clusters as simple physical cross-linkers to control the shape and mechanical stability of polymersomes in aqueous suspensions. Robust spherical shape with enhanced elastic and bending moduli of POM-dressed poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) based polymersomes is achieved. We have accounted for the hydrogen bonding between POM and PEO blocks for the adsorption and stabilization of POMS on polymersomes, whose interaction strength could also be tuned by mixing solvents of hydrogen bond donors or receptors with water. The stimuli-responsive properties of POMs are introduced in POM-dressed polymersomes upon the interaction of POMs with PEO blocks in aqueous media. As POM can be used as nanomedicines, catalysts, and other functional nanomaterials, POM-dressed polymersomes with significant shape and mechanical reinforcement could broaden the applications of PEO-based polymersomes and other PEO-tethered nanocolloids.
