Abstract
Well-defined hydrophilic telechelic dibromo poly(triethylene glycol monomethyl ether acrylate)s were prepared by single-electron transfer living radical polymerization employing a hydrophobic difunctional initiator containing acetal and disulfide linkages. Although the resulting homopolymers have low hydrophobic contents (<8.5 wt % of the entire structure), they are able to self-assemble in water into nanoscale micellelike particles via chain folding. Acetal and disulfide linkages were demonstrated to be "keystone" units for their dual stimuli-responsive behavior under biochemically relevant conditions. Their site-selective middle-chain cleavage under both acidic pH and reductive conditions splits the homopolymer into two equal-sized fragments and results in the breakdown of the nanoassemblies. The drug loading/delivery potential of these nanoparticles was investigated using curcumine combining in vitro drug release, cytotoxicity, and cellular uptake studies with human cancer cell lines (HT-29 and HeLa). Importantly, this strategy may be extended to prepare innovative nanoplatforms based on hydrophilic homopolymers or random copolymers for intelligent drug delivery.

Abstract
A middle-chain cleavable telechelic poly(oligoethylene glycol) methyl ether acrylate) (MCCT-POEGA-Br) was synthesized by single-electron transfer living radical polymerization (SET-LRP) initiated from an acetal-containing hydrophobic sequence-defined difunctional initiator. In aqueous medium, above a certain concentration, this hydrophilic homopolymer self-assembled into nanogel-like large micelles that exhibit an encapsulating capacity for both hydrophobic and hydrophilic cargo. The sequence-defined cleavage pattern encoded in the initiator residue allowed precise middle-chain cleavage, leading to quantitative disassembly of the corresponding nanoobjects. Dye release studies performed in an acidic environment demonstrated the potential of this new design concept in the preparation of pH-responsive nanocarriers. In addition, fluorescently tagged nanoassemblies could also be obtained via the thio-bromo "click" modification of MCCT-POEGA-Br prior to self-assembly. This strategy may provide facile access to a diversity of multistimuli-responsive nanocarriers based on commercially available hydrophilic monomers and sequence-defined difunctional initiators synthesized by this simple design strategy.

Abstract
Homo- and hetero-bifunctional linkers play vital roles in constructing a variety of functional systems, ranging from protein bioconjugates with drugs and functional agents, to surface modification of nanoparticles and living cells, and to the cyclization/dimerization of synthetic polymers and biomolecules. Conventional approaches for assaying conjugation extents typically rely on ex situ techniques, such as mass spectrometry, gel electrophoresis, and size-exclusion chromatography. If the conjugation process involving bifunctional linkers was rendered fluorogenic, then in situ monitoring, quantification, and optical tracking/visualization of relevant processes would be achieved. In this review, conventional non-fluorogenic linkers are first discussed. Then the focus is on the evolution and emerging applications of fluorogenic bifunctional linkers, which are categorized into hetero-bifunctional single-caging fluorogenic linkers, homo-bifunctional double-caging fluorogenic linkers, and hetero-bifunctional double-caging fluorogenic linkers. In addition, stimuli-cleavable bifunctional linkers designed for both conjugation and subsequent site-specific triggered release are also summarized.

Abstract
Superamphiphilic polymers (SAPs) constructed by host-guest inclusion can self-assemble into various nanostructures in solution, which can find applications in many fields such as nanodevices, drug delivery, and template synthesis. Herein, we report the controlled self-assembly of multiple-responsive SAP based on a selective host-guest inclusion of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) with a modified poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) (FcC11AzoPEG) consisting of a ferrocene (Fc) end group, a C11 alkyl chain, an azobenzene (Azo) block, and a poly(ethylene glycol)methyl ether (PEG) chain. These SAPs can self-assemble into interesting nanostructures in water upon exposure to different stimuli because β-CD can be selectively included with different guests, such as Fc, Azo, and C11 alkyl chain, under different stimuli. The inclusion complex of Fc with β-CD (Fc@β-CD SAP) can form nanowire micelles in aqueous solution. The nanowire micelles can be transformed into spindle micelles with the addition of oxidant because the majority of β-CDs dissociated from the complex Fc@β-CD SAP due to a conversion of Fc to Fc+ and will preferentially include with Azo group to form another dominant inclusion complex (Azo@β-CD SAP). After UV irradiation, the spindle micelles can be further transformed into spherical micelles because most of β-CDs are excluded from the complex Azo@β-CD SAP due to a trans- to cis-Azo conversion and then form a dominant inclusion complex with C11 alkyl chains (C11@β-CD SAP). This work not only demonstrates the selective host-guest inclusion of stimuli-responsive groups modified PEG with β-CD but also provides a useful approach for construction of diverse morphologies.

Amino-substituted maleimides form a new class of highly emissive compounds, with large Stokes shifts (>100 nm) and high quantum yields (up to ∼60%). Emission is responsive to the maleimide's environment with both a red-shift, and quenching, observed in protic polar solvents. Aminomaleimides are easily functionalised, providing a versatile fluorescent probe.

Abstract
![]()
Block copolymer micelles have been
prepared with a dithiomaleimide
(DTM) fluorophore located in either the core or shell. Poly(triethylene
glycol acrylate)-b-poly(tert-butyl
acrylate) (P(TEGA)-b-P(tBA)) was
synthesized by RAFT polymerization, with a DTM-functional acrylate
monomer copolymerized into either the core forming P(tBA) block or the shell forming P(TEGA) block. Self-assembly by direct
dissolution afforded spherical micelles with Rh of ca. 35 nm. Core-labeled micelles (CLMs)
displayed bright emission (Φf = 17%) due to good
protection of the fluorophore, whereas shell-labeled micelles (SLMs)
had lower efficiency emission due to collisional quenching in the
solvated corona. The transition from micelles to polymer unimers upon
dilution could be detected by measuring the emission intensity of
the solutions. For the core-labeled micelles, the fluorescence lifetime
was also responsive to the supramolecular state, the lifetime being
significantly longer for the micelles (τAv,I = 19
ns) than for the polymer unimers (τAv,I = 9 ns).
The core-labeled micelles could also self-report on the presence of
a fluorescent hydrophobic guest molecule (Nile Red) as a result of
Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) between the DTM fluorophore
and the guest. The sensitivity of the DTM fluorophore to its environment
therefore provides a simple handle to obtain detailed structural information
for the labeled polymer micelles. A case will also be made for the
application superiority of core-labeled micelles over shell-labeled
micelles for the DTM fluorophore.
