Abstract
Charge-governed ion transport is the vital property of nanofluidic channels for salinity-gradient energy harvesting and other electrochemical energy conversion technologies. 2D nanofluidic channels constructed by nanosheets exhibit great superiority in ion selectivity, but a high ion transport rate remains challenging due to the insufficiency of intrinsic surface charge density in nanoconfinement. Herein, extrinsic surface charge into nanofluidic channels composed of surfactant-assisted sulfonated covalent organic nanosheets (SCONs), which enable tunable ion transport behaviors, is demonstrated. The polar moiety of surfactant is embedded in SCONs to adjust in-plane surface charges, and the aggregation of nonpolar moiety results in the sol-to-gel transformation of SCON solution for membrane fabrication. The combination endows SCON/surfactant membranes with considerable water-resistance, and the designable extrinsic charges promise fast ion transport and high ion selectivity. Additionally, the SCON/surfactant membrane, serving as a power generator, exhibits huge potential in harvesting salinity-gradient energy where corresponding output power density can reach up to 9.08 W m-2 under a 50-fold salinity gradient (0.5 m NaCl|0.01 m NaCl). The approach to extrinsic surface charge provides new and promising insight into regulating ion transport behaviors.

Abstract
Polymer vesicles, also known as polymersomes, have garnered a lot of interest even before the first report of their fabrication in the mid-1990s. These capsules have found applications in areas such as drug delivery, diagnostics and cellular models, and are made via the self-assembly of amphiphilic block copolymers, predominantly with soft, rubbery hydrophobic segments. Comparatively, and despite their remarkable impermeability, glassy polymersomes (GPs) have been less pervasive due to their rigidity, lack of biodegradability and more restricted fabrication strategies. GPs are now becoming more prominent, thanks to their ability to undergo stable shape-change (e.g., into non-spherical morphologies) as a response to a predetermined trigger (e.g., light, solvent). The basics of block copolymer self-assembly with an emphasis on polymersomes and GPs in particular are reviewed here. The principles and advantages of shape transformation of GPs as well as their general usefulness are also discussed, together with some of the challenges and opportunities currently facing this area.

Abstract
We investigate by small-angle scattering the structural behavior in water of a family of asymmetric poly(styrene-stat-(acrylic acid))-block-poly(acrylic acid), i.e., P(S-stat-AA)-b-PAA, diblock copolymers. These diblocks are of constant block ratio and increasing molar fraction, phi(AA), ranging from 0 to 1, of acrylic acid in the first P(S-stat-AA) statistical block. We identify three types of structural behavior in water: (i) for phi(AA) </= 0.25, the structures found in water are out-of-equilibrium micelle-like objects, reminiscent of the macrophase separation in the solid state, with no reorganization upon dispersion; (ii) for phi(AA) >/= 0.50, the diblocks dispersions in water are at equilibrium. For high phi(AA), the diblocks are soluble in water, demonstrating that a transition from colloid-like objects to soluble macromolecules is achieved. Close to the transition, (phi(AA) approximately 0.50), the diblocks form objects interpreted as comprising a water-swollen core formed by the P(S-stat-AA) block, surrounded by a swollen brush composed of the majority PAA block, above a apparent critical micelle concentration. However, these diblocks do not behave as macrosurfactants, and their self-association behavior is rather interpreted as a microphase separation which can arise from the incompatibility between two polymer blocks P(S-stat-AA) and PAA placed in a common solvent water.
