Abstract
Supramolecular polymers, in which monomers are assembled via intermolecular interactions, have been extensively studied. The fusion of supramolecular polymers with conventional polymers has attracted the attention of many researchers. In this review article, the recent progress in the construction of supramolecular star polymers, including regular star polymers and miktoarm star polymers, is discussed. The initial sections briefly provide an overview of the conventional classification and synthesis methods for star polymers. Coordination-driven self-assembly was investigated for the supramolecular synthesis of star polymers. Star polymers with multiple polymer chains radiating from metal-organic polyhedra (MOPs) have also been described. Particular focus has been placed on the synthesis of star polymers featuring supramolecular cores formed through hydrogen-bonding-directed self-assembly. After describing the synthesis of star polymers based on host-guest complexes, the construction of miktoarm star polymers based on the molecular recognition of coordination capsules is detailed.

A Study on the Dual Thermo- and pH-Responsive Behaviors of Well-Defined Star-like Block Copolymers Synthesize by Combining of RAFT Polymerization and Thiol-Ene Click Reaction. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14091695. [PMID: 35566865 PMCID: PMC9103776 DOI: 10.3390/polym14091695] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2022] [Revised: 04/15/2022] [Accepted: 04/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
A series of stimuli-responsive star-like block copolymers are synthesized via the combination of reversible addition, fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization, and photo-initiated thiol-ene (PITE) click reaction. The controllable block ratio and block sequence, narrow distribution of molecular weight, and customized arm numbers of the star-shaped copolymers reveal the feasibility and benefits of combination of RAFT polymerization and PITE click reaction for synthesis of well-defined star-like (co)polymers. A clear insight into the relationship among the arm number, block sequence, and block ratio of the star-like block copolymers and their stimuli-responsive aggregation behavior was achieved via dynamic light scattering and UV-vis spectroscopy study. Notably, the star-like poly(acrylic acid)-b-poly(2-(dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate) (star-PAA-b-PDMAEMA) shows higher lower critical solution temperature (LCST) compared to star-PDMAEMA-b-PAA with the same arm number and block ratio due to the inner charged PAA segments at pH > IEP. In addition, for star-like PAA-b-PDMAEMA, higher PAA content enhances the hydrophilicity of the polymer in basic solution and leads to the LCST increase, except for star-PAA1-b-PDMAEMA4 at pH = 9.0 (≈IEP). For star-PDMAEMA-b-PAA, the PAA content shows minimal effect on their LCSTs, except for the polymer in solution with pH = 9.5, which is far from their IEP. The star-like block copolymers with well-defined structure and tunable composition, especially the facile-controlled block sequence, bring us a challenging opportunity to control the stimuli-responsive properties of star-like block copolymers.

Abstract
We present the first example of macroscalar helices co‐assembled from temperature‐responsive carbohydrate‐based bolaamphiphiles (CHO‐Bolas) and 1,4‐benzenediboronic acid (BDBA). The CHO‐Bolas contained hydrophilic glucose or mannose moieties and a hydrophobic coumarin dimer. They showed temperature‐responsive reversible micelle‐to‐vesicle transition (MVT) in aqueous solutions. After the binding of carbohydrate moieties with boronic acids of BDBA in their alkaline solutions, right‐handed helices were formed via the temperature‐driven chirality transfer of d‐glucose or d‐mannose from the molecular to supramolecular level. These helices were co‐assembled by unreacted BDBA, boronate esters (B−O−C bonds) between CHO‐Bolas and BDBA, as well as boroxine anhydrides (B−O−B bonds) of self‐condensed BDBA. After heating at 300 °C under nitrogen, the helices displayed excellent morphological stability. Moreover, they emitted bright blue luminescence caused by strong self‐condensation of BDBA and decomposition of coumarin dimers.

Abstract
Elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) are stimulus-responsive biopolymers derived from human elastin. Their unique properties—including lower critical solution temperature phase behavior and minimal immunogenicity—make them attractive materials for a variety of biomedical applications. ELPs also benefit from recombinant synthesis and genetically encoded design; these enable control over the molecular weight and precise incorporation of peptides and pharmacological agents into the sequence. Because their size and sequence are defined, ELPs benefit from exquisite control over their structure and function, qualities that cannot be matched by synthetic polymers. As such, ELPs have been engineered to assemble into unique architectures and display bioactive agents for a variety of applications. This review discusses the design and representative biomedical applications of ELPs, focusing primarily on their use in tissue engineering and drug delivery.

Abstract
Reported here is the synthesis of perfectly sequence defined, monodisperse diblock copolypeptides of hydrophilic elastin-like and hydrophobic resilin-like polypeptide blocks and characterization of their self-assembly as a function of structural parameters by light scattering, cryo-TEM, and small-angle neutron scattering. A subset of these diblock copolypeptides exhibit lower critical solution temperature and upper critical solution temperature phase behavior and self-assemble into spherical or cylindrical micelles. Their morphologies are dictated by their chain length, degree of hydrophilicity, and hydrophilic weight fraction of the ELP block. We find that (1) independent of the length of the corona-forming ELP block there is a minimum threshold in the length of the RLP block below which self-assembly does not occur, but that once that threshold is crossed, (2) the RLP block length is a unique molecular parameter to independently tune self-assembly and (3) increasing the hydrophobicity of the corona-forming ELP drives a transition from spherical to cylindrical morphology. Unlike the self-assembly of purely ELP-based block copolymers, the self-assembly of RLP-ELPs can be understood by simple principles of polymer physics relating hydrophilic weight fraction and polymer-polymer and polymer-solvent interactions to micellar morphology, which is important as it provides a route for the de novo design of desired nanoscale morphologies from first principles.

Abstract
Recent advances in controlled/living polymerization techniques and highly efficient coupling chemistries have enabled the facile synthesis of complex polymer architectures with controlled dimensions and functionality. As an example, star polymers consist of many linear polymers fused at a central point with a large number of chain end functionalities. Owing to this exclusive structure, star polymers exhibit some remarkable characteristics and properties unattainable by simple linear polymers. Hence, they constitute a unique class of technologically important nanomaterials that have been utilized or are currently under audition for many applications in life sciences and nanotechnologies. This article first provides a comprehensive summary of synthetic strategies towards star polymers, then reviews the latest developments in the synthesis and characterization methods of star macromolecules, and lastly outlines emerging applications and current commercial use of star-shaped polymers. The aim of this work is to promote star polymer research, generate new avenues of scientific investigation, and provide contemporary perspectives on chemical innovation that may expedite the commercialization of new star nanomaterials. We envision in the not-too-distant future star polymers will play an increasingly important role in materials science and nanotechnology in both academic and industrial settings.

Abstract
Three amphiphilic diblock copolymers, representative of three types of block copolymer (BCP) design, were synthesized using reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerization. All of them have a same uncharged block of a random copolymer of commercially available acrylamide and acrylonitrile, P(AAm-co-AN), and exhibit a composition-tunable upper critical solution temperature (UCST). We show that by coupling a common P(AAm-co-AN) block with either hydrophobic polystyrene (PS) or hydrophilic poly(dimethylacrylamide) (PDMA) or the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) polymer of poly(N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA), the BCP micelles formed in water or in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) can display diverse and UCST-dictated changes in response to temperature variations, such as the reversible dispersion-aggregation of micelles, dissolution-formation of micelles, and reversal of micelle core and corona. The results point out that P(AAm-co-AN) is a robust UCST polymer that can be introduced into controlled polymer architectures producible by RAFT, the same way as using the extensively studied LCST counterparts like poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM). This ability should make the door wide open to exploring new thermosensitive polymers based on the thermosensitivity opposite to the LCST.

Abstract
A supramolecular block copolymer is prepared by the molecular recognition of nucleobases between poly(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl methacrylate-co-oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylate)-SS-poly(ε-caprolactone)-adenine (P(MEO2 MA-co-OEGMA)-SS-PCL-A) and uracil-terminated poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG-U). Because the block copolymer is linked by the combination of covalent (disulfide bond) and noncovalent (AU) bonds, it not only has similar properties to conventional covalently linked block copolymers but also possesses a dynamic and tunable nature. The copolymer can self-assemble into micelles with a PCL core and P(MEO2 MA-co-OEGMA)/PEG shell. The size and morphologies of the micelles/aggregates can be adjusted by altering the temperature, pH, salt concentration, or adding dithiothreitol (DTT) to the solution. The controlled release of Nile red is achieved at different environmental conditions.
