Abstract
Polymer self-assembly has become a reliable and versatile workhorse to produce polymeric nanomaterials. With appropriate polymer design and monomer selection, polymers can assemble into shapes and morphologies beyond well-studied spherical and cylindrical micellar structures. Steadfast access to anisotropic polymer nanoparticles has meant that the fabrication and application of 2D soft matter has received increasing attention in recent years. In this review, we focus on nanoscale polymer discs, toroids, and platelets: three morphologies that are often interrelated and made from similar starting materials or common intermediates. For each morphology, we illustrate design rules, and group and discuss commonly used self-assembly strategies. We further highlight polymer compositions, fundamental principles and self-assembly conditions that enable precision in bottom-up fabrication strategies. Finally, we summarise potential applications of such nanomaterials, especially in the context of biomedical research and template chemistry and elaborate on future endeavours in this space.

Abstract
Over the past decade, polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) has fully proved its versatility for scale-up production of block copolymer nanoparticles with tunable sizes and morphologies; yet, there are still some limitations. Recently, seeded PISA approaches combing PISA with heterogeneous seeded polymerizations have been greatly explored and are expected to overcome the limitations of traditional PISA. In this review, recent advances in seeded PISA that have expanded new horizons for PISA are highlighted including i) general considerations for seeded PISA (e.g., kinetics, the preparation of seeds, the selection of monomers), ii) morphological evolution induced by seeded PISA (e.g., from corona-shell-core nanoparticles to vesicles, vesicles-to-toroid, disassembly of vesicles into nanospheres), and iii) various well-defined nanoparticles with hierarchical and sophisticated morphologies (e.g., multicompartment micelles, porous vesicles, framboidal vesicles, AXn -type colloidal molecules). Finally, new insights into seeded PISA and future perspectives are proposed.

Abstract
Building novel functional nanomaterials with a polymer is one of the most dynamic research fields at present. Here, three amphiphilic block copolymers of 8-hydroxyquinoline derivative motifs (MQ) with excellent coordination function were synthesized by Reversible Addition-Fragmentation Chain Transfer Polymerization (RAFT) polymerization. The coordination micelles were prepared through the self-assembly process, which the MQ motifs were dispersed in the hydrophobic polystyrene (PSt) blocks and hydrophilic Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide (PNIPAM)) blocks, respectively. The dual-emission micelles including the intrinsic red light emission of quantum dots (QDs) and the coordination green light emission of Zn2+-MQ complexes were built by introducing the CdSe/ZnS and CdTe/ZnS QDs in the core and shell precisely in the coordination micelles through the coordination-driven self-assembly process. Furthermore, based on the principle of three primary colors that produce white light emission, vinyl carbazole units (Polyvinyl Carbazole, PVK) with blue light emission were introduced into the hydrophilic PNIPAM blocks to construct the white light micelles that possess special multi-emission properties in which the intrinsic red light emission of QDs, the coordination green light of Zn2+-MQ complexes, and the blue light emission of PVK were synergized. The dual and multi-emission hybrid micelles have great application prospects in ratiometric fluorescent probes and biomarkers.

Abstract
Polyoxometalate (POM) H3PMo12O40 was coassembled with stimuli-responsive triblock copolymer poly(ethylene oxide)- block-polystyrene- block-poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (PEO- b-PS- b-PDMAEMA) by electrostatic interactions. Depending on the POM contents, the hybrid complexes can self-assemble into a series of morphologies: micelles, rods, toroids, and vesicles. Unlike traditional morphology transition of amphiphilic block copolymer derived from a broad range of hydrophobic volume fractions, POM-induced morphology transitions just occurred in a narrow range of volume fractions. The length of rod micelles exponentially decreased with solvent compositions (tetrahydrofuran/H2O). The hybrid assemblies showed acid-base responsibility due to the PDMAEMA block. Rod micelles could further assemble and disassemble reversibly upon adding acid/base. Fluorescent polyoxometalate Na9EuW10O36 was also complexed with PEO- b-PS- b-PDMAEMA to prepare fluorescent vesicles. The vesicles showed off-on switchable fluorescence behavior accompanied with reversible vesicle-to-micelle transformation in response to pH stimuli.

Abstract
Conditional variations can lead to micellar transformations resulting in various (equilibrium) morphologies. However, creating differently shaped assemblies under the same final conditions (same ingredients, composition, temperature, etc.) is challenging. We present a thermoresponsive polyelectrolyte system allowing a pathway-dependent preparation of kinetically stable spherical star-like or cylindrical micelles. In more detail, a temperature-induced structure switch is used to generate equilibrated interpolyelectrolyte complex (IPEC) micelles of different morphologies (templates) below and above the lower critical solution temperature in the presence of plasticizer (salt). Then, lowering the salt concentration at a specific temperature kinetically freezes the formed IPECs, keeping the respective microstructural information encoded in the frozen IPEC also at other temperatures. Hence, different nonequilibrium morphologies at the same final conditions are provided. The salt-triggered transition from nonequilibrium to equilibrium micelles can be repeated for the same sample, highlighting a system with an on-demand changeable and restorable structure.

Abstract
Herein we demonstrate that dynamic covalent chemistry can be used to induce reversible morphological transitions in block copolymer nano-objects and hydrogels. Poly(glycerol monomethacrylate)-poly(2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate) (PGMA-PHPMA) diblock copolymer nano-objects (vesicles or worms) were prepared via polymerization-induced self-assembly. Addition of 4-carboxyphenylboronic acid (CPBA) leads to the formation of phenylboronate ester bonds with the 1,2-diol pendent groups on the hydrophilic PGMA stabilizer chains; such binding causes a subtle reduction in the packing parameter, which in turn induces either vesicle-to-worm or worm-to-sphere transitions. Moreover, CPBA binding is pH-dependent, so reversible transitions can be achieved by switching the solution pH, with relatively high copolymer concentrations leading to associated (de)gelation. This distinguishes these new physical hydrogels from the covalently cross-linked gels prepared using dynamic covalent chemistry reported in the literature.
