Abstract
Aiming toward the development of tailored carrier materials for the cytostatics panobinostat and imatinib, an amphiphilic block copolymer composed of poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) and a degradable poly(2-(3-phenylpropyl)-2-oxazoline) analogue (dPPhPrOx-b-PEtOx) was synthesized via a postpolymerization synthesis route based on reacylation of oxidized linear poly(ethylene imine). The obtained dPPhPrOx-b-PEtOx was found to readily self-assemble into well-defined micelles with a critical micelle concentration of 1 μg mL-1. The incubation of HUVEC cells with the blank micelles revealed their excellent cytocompatibility (up to 2 mg mL-1), thus confirming the polymers' suitability for potential drug delivery application. Subsequently, the encapsulation of the two cytostatics, panobinostat and imatinib, into the dPPhPrOx-b-PEtOx micelles was successfully demonstrated (Dh ≈ 80 nm, PDI ≈ 0.16), whereby the well-defined nature of the micelle was maintained upon extended incubation at 37 °C (36 h) and storage at 4 °C (1 month). Labeling of the micelles with Alexa Fluor 594 and Alexa Fluor 647, which form a Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) pair, indicated the stability of loaded micelles upon dilution until the CMC. Finally, the cytotoxicity of the loaded micelles was investigated against three different cell lines: Medulloblastoma cell lines ONS-76 and DAOY as well as the glioblastoma cell line U87MG. While the panobinostat-loaded micelles displayed similar cytotoxicity compared to the pure drug in the cell lines, imatinib-loaded micelles were found to be more potent compared to the pristine drug, as significantly higher cytotoxicity was observed across all three cell lines.

Self-Assembly of Molecular Brushes with Polyimide Backbone and Amphiphilic Block Copolymer Side Chains in Selective Solvents. Polymers (Basel) 2020; 12:polym12122922.

Abstract
Three-component molecular brushes with a polyimide backbone and amphiphilic block copolymer side chains with different contents of the “inner” hydrophilic (poly(methacrylic acid)) and “outer” hydrophobic (poly(methyl methacrylate)) blocks were synthesized and characterized by molecular hydrodynamics and optics methods in solutions of chloroform, dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran and ethanol. The peculiarity of the studied polymers is the amphiphilic structure of the grafted chains. The molar masses of the molecular brushes were determined by static and dynamic light scattering in chloroform in which polymers form molecularly disperse solutions. Spontaneous self-assembly of macromolecules was detected in dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran and ethanol. The aggregates size depended on the thermodynamic quality of the solvent as well as on the macromolecular architectural parameters. In dimethylformamide and tetrahydrofuran, the distribution of hydrodynamic radii of aggregates was bimodal, while in ethanol, it was unimodal. Moreover, in ethanol, an increase in the poly(methyl methacrylate) content caused a decrease in the hydrodynamic radius of aggregates. A significant difference in the nature of the blocks included in the brushes determines the selectivity of the used solvents, since their thermodynamic quality with respect to the blocks is different. The macromolecules of the studied graft copolymers tend to self-organization in selective solvents with formation of a core–shell structure with an insoluble solvophobic core surrounded by the solvophilic shell of side chains.

Abstract
Anisotropic nanomaterials are non-spherical structures that possess unique shape-dependent physicochemical properties and functionalities. Inspired by the abundance of filamentous entities in nature, cylindrical nanostructures have gained significant attention due to their unique performance. Herein, we discuss the effect of side-chain length on the encapsulation properties of amphiphilic heterografted bottlebrushes. We observed that by grafting a long hydrophilic block to the double-brush, we were able to restrict solute-induced conformational changes, thus producing drug-loaded anisotropic carriers. Unimolecular encapsulation in brushes was solute-dependent as shown here for probucol and rose bengal lactone. Stabilization with an amphiphilic diblock copolymer-consisting of the same type of blocks as those comprising the heterografted brush-served to explain the solute-dependent behavior observed for brushes, suggesting that solutes with a higher propensity to nucleation could be more effectively stabilized by the anisotropic carrier in a unimolecular worm-like construct.

Abstract
Polymer brushes are special macromolecular structures with polymer chains densely tethered to another polymer chain (one-dimensional, 1D) or the surface of a planar (two-dimensional, 2D), spherical or cylindrical (three-dimensional, 3D) solid via a stable covalent or noncovalent bond linkage. In comparison with the corresponding linear counterpart with similar molecular composition, one-dimension polymer brushes have some fascinating properties including wormlike conformation, compact molecular dimension, and notable chain end effects due to their compact and confined densely grafted structure. The introduction of polymer chains onto the surface of planar and spherical or cylindrical matrix will not only significantly change the surface-related properties of the matrix but also endows the obtained hybrid polymer brushes with new functionalities. Thus, polymer brushes are of great interest in the fields of polymer and material science due to their broad applications, such as catalysis, nanolithography, biomineralization, drug delivery, medical diagnosis, optoelectronics, and so on. Although a variety of 1D, 2D, and 3D polymer brushes have been prepared with the advent of living/controlled polymerization, the development of more efficient and facile synthetic protocols that permit access to polymer brushes with precisely controlled composition, structure, and functionality still represents a key contemporary challenge. In this Account, we summarize our recent efforts on the development of efficient methods to prepare 1D, 2D, and 3D polymer brushes and exploration of their potential applications in drug delivery, antifouling coating, catalysis, and lithium-ion batteries and also highlight related achievements by other groups. First, we briefly introduce the precedent examples of efficient synthesis of polymer brushes with different structures and functionalities by the combination of monomer design with living/controlled polymerization. Given the excellent tolerance and use of the same catalytic system without any mutual interference of ATRP and Cu-catalyzed alkyne-azide cyclization (CuAAC) click reaction, a versatile and efficient platform for precise synthesis of complex asymmetric (Janus-type) 1D polymer brushes was developed on the basis of the "trifunctional monomer" strategy without polymeric functionality transformation. Subsequently, a noncovalent strategy based on crystallization-driven self assembly to prepare well-defined polymer brushes with precise control over their composition and dimensions is described. Notably, the crystallization-driven self assembly can be treated as a living/controlled polymerization of "polymeric monomer" with a special building segment for crystallization, which allows for preparing linear polymer brushes with length as high as tens of micrometers. Moreover, the properties and related applications of polymer brushes as interesting building blocks for constructing hierarchical nanostructures, efficient drug deliver carriers, antifouling films, and lithium-ion batteries are addressed by some typical examples. These advancements in this field will provide a new avenue for obtaining fascinating polymer-brush-based functional materials.

Abstract
A series of well-defined amphiphilic graft copolymer bearing a hydrophilic poly(2-hydroxyethyl acrylate) (PHEA) backbone and hydrophobic poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) side chains was synthesized by successive reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization and atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) through the grafting-from strategy. A well-defined PHEA-based backbone with Cl-containing ATRP initiating group in every repeated unit (Mw/Mn = 1.08), poly(2-hydroxyethyl 2-((2-chloropropanoyloxy)methyl)acrylate) (PHECPMA), was first prepared by RAFT homopolymerization of 2-hydroxyethyl 2-((2-chloropropanoyloxy)methyl)acrylate (HECPMA), a Cl-containing trifunctional acrylate. ATRP of methyl methacrylate was subsequently initiated by PHECPMA homopolymer to afford the target well-defined poly(2-hydroxyethyl acrylate)-graft-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PHEA-g-PMMA) graft copolymers (Mw/Mn ≤ 1.36) with 34 PMMA side chains and 34 pendant hydroxyls in PHEA backbone using CuCl/dHbpy as catalytic system. The critical micelle concentration (cmc) of the obtained graft copolymer was determined by fluorescence spectroscopy using N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine as probe while micellar morphologies in aqueous media were visualized by transmission electron microscopy. Interestingly, PHEA-g-PMMA graft copolymer could self-assemble into large compound micelles rather than common spherical micelles, which can encapsulate hydrophilic rhodamine 6 G and hydrophobic pyrene separately or simultaneously.

Abstract
Asymmetric molecular brushes emerge as a unique class of nanostructured polymers, while their versatile synthesis keeps a challenge for chemists. Here we show the synthesis of well-defined asymmetric molecular double-brushes comprising two different side chains linked to the same repeat unit along the backbone by one-pot concurrent atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and Cu-catalyzed azide/alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction. The double-brushes are based on a poly(Br-acrylate-alkyne) homopolymer possessing an alkynyl for CuAAC reaction and a 2-bromopropionate initiating group for ATRP in each repeat unit. The versatility of this one-shot approach is demonstrated by CuAAC reaction of alkynyl/poly(ethylene oxide)-N3 and ATRP of various monomers. We also show the quantitative conversion of pentafluorophenyl ester groups to amide groups in side chains, allowing for the further fabrication of diverse building blocks. This work provides a versatile platform for facile synthesis of Janus-type double-brushes with structural and functional control, in a minimum number of reactions.Producing well-defined polymer compositions and structures facilitates their use in many different applications. Here the authors show the synthesis of well-defined asymmetric double-brushes by a one-pot concurrent atom transfer radical polymerization and Cu-catalyzed Click reaction.

Abstract
Macromolecular brushes bearing poly(ethylene glycol) and poly(d,l-lactide) side chains were used to stabilize hydrophobic solute nanoparticles formed by a rapid change in solvent quality. Unlike linear diblock copolymers with the same hydrophilic and hydrophobic block chemistries, the brush copolymer enabled the formation of ellipsoidal β-carotene nanoparticles, which in cosolvent mixtures developed into rod-like structures, resulting from a combination of Ostwald ripening and particle aggregation. The stabilizing ability of the copolymer was highly dependent on the mobility of the hydrophobic component, influenced by its molecular weight. As shown here, asymmetric amphiphilic macromolecular brushes of this type may be used as hydrophobic drug stabilizers and potentially assist the shape control of nonspherical aggregate morphologies.
