Abstract
Recent developments in the field of the breath figure (BF) method have led to renewed interest from researchers in the pore-selective functionalization of honeycomb-patterned (HCP) films. The pore-selective functionalization of the HCP film gives unique properties to the film which can be used for specific applications such as protein recognition, catalysis, selective cell culturing, and drug delivery. There are several comprehensive reviews available for the pore-selective functionalization by the self-assembly process. However, considerable progress in preparation technologies and incorporation of new materials inside the pore surface for exact applications have emerged, thus warranting a review. In this review, we have focused on the pore-selective functionalization of the HCP films by the modified BF method, in which the self-assembly process is accompanied by an interfacial reaction. We review the importance of pore-selective functionalization, its applications, present limitations, and future perspectives.

[PMID: 30966114 PMCID: PMC6415076 DOI: 10.3390/polym10010080] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2017] [Revised: 01/02/2018] [Accepted: 01/11/2018] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Polymers prepared by controlled radical polymerization (CRP) can be employed in subsequent chain-end joining reactions, yet accurately assessing the extent of coupling in mechanistically unique paths is not straightforward. Precisely known mixtures of polystyrene standards were prepared and analyzed by gel permeation chromatography (GPC), mimicking the coupled product and precursor that could be present after a post-polymerization, chain-end joining reaction. The exactly known percentages of each polymer in the mixture allowed for comparison of the true "extent of coupling" (Xc) to that determined by a commonly used equation, which is based on number average molecular weights (Mn) of the precursor and coupled product. The results indicated that an improvement in accuracy could be achieved by instead using refractive index (RI) signal height ratios under the peak molecular weight (Mp) of each component, with all calculations being within 0.05 of the true Xc of the fabricated "product" mixture (compared to greater than 0.10 average error using the more established method) when the sample mixture had nominal molecular weights of 2500 and 5000 Da. Moreover, when "precursor" and "coupled" pairs mixed were not related as a simple doubling of molecular weight, the calculation method presented here remained effective at determining the content of the mixture, especially at higher Xc values (>0.45). This second case is important for experiments that may link polymer chains together with a spacer, such as a radical trap, a triazole, or even larger structure such as an oligomer.

Abstract
Development of value-added micropatterned porous materials from naturally abundant polymers, such as cellulose, are of growing interest. In this paper, regioselectively modified amphiphilic cellulose azide, 3-O-azidopropoxypoly(ethylene glycol)-2,6-di-O-thexyldimethylsilyl cellulose, with different degrees of substitution (DS) and degrees of polymerization (DP) of the poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) side chain, was synthesized and employed in the formation of honeycomb-patterned films. With the variation of the DP and/or DS, the amphiphilicity of the polymer and the pore size of the formed films changed accordingly. It was found that amphiphilicity of the cellulose azide played a significant role in the formation of honeycomb films. Balanced amphiphilicity was of particular importance in the formation of uniform honeycomb films. Via the Cu(I)-catalyzed alkyne-azide [2 + 3] cycloaddition reaction, fluorescent avidin and quantum dots were attached to the films. By means of confocal microscopy, it was confirmed that the functional azido group was preferentially allocated inside the pores. This provides a platform for the development of advanced honeycomb materials with site-specific functionalities, such as biosensors.

Abstract
Glyconanocapsules with a biocompatible oily core have been successfully prepared by copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) interfacial step growth polymerization between 6,6'-diazido-6,6'-dideoxysucrose and bis(propargyloxy)butane in oil-in-water miniemulsion conditions. Optimization of the interfacial polymerization process in dispersed medium afforded the rapid and reproducible preparation of stable monodispersed glyconanocapsules having a diameter around 200 nm.

Abstract
This paper provides a third update to the review of reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) achieved with thiocarbonylthio compounds (ZC(=S)SR) by a mechanism of reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) that was published in June 2005 (Aust. J. Chem. 2005, 58, 379). The first update was published in November 2006 (Aust. J. Chem. 2006, 59, 669) and the second in December 2009 (Aust. J. Chem. 2009, 62, 1402). This review cites over 700 publications that appeared during the period mid 2009 to early 2012 covering various aspects of RAFT polymerization which include reagent synthesis and properties, kinetics and mechanism of polymerization, novel polymer syntheses, and a diverse range of applications. This period has witnessed further significant developments, particularly in the areas of novel RAFT agents, techniques for end-group transformation, the production of micro/nanoparticles and modified surfaces, and biopolymer conjugates both for therapeutic and diagnostic applications.
