Abstract
Advances in atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) have enabled the precise design and preparation of nanostructured polymeric materials for a variety of biomedical applications. This paper briefly summarizes recent developments in the synthesis of bio-therapeutics for drug delivery based on linear and branched block copolymers and bioconjugates using ATRP, which have been tested in drug delivery systems (DDSs) over the past decade. An important trend is the rapid development of a number of smart DDSs that can release bioactive materials in response to certain external stimuli, either physical (e.g., light, ultrasound, or temperature) or chemical factors (e.g., changes in pH values and/or environmental redox potential). The use of ATRPs in the synthesis of polymeric bioconjugates containing drugs, proteins, and nucleic acids, as well as systems applied in combination therapies, has also received considerable attention.

Abstract
To decrease critical micelle concentration (CMC), improve stability, and keep high drug-loading capacity, three pH-sensitive mixed micelles applied for anticancer drug controlled delivery were prepared by the mixture of polymers poly (N,N-diethylaminoethyl methacrylate)-b-poly(poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate) (PDEAEMA-PPEGMA) and polycaprolactone-b-poly (poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate) (PCL-PPEGMA), which were synthesized and confirmed by 1H NMR and gel permeation chromatographic (GPC). The critical micelle concentration (CMC) values of the prepared mixed micelles were low, and the micellar sizes and zeta potentials of the blank mixed micelles demonstrated good pH-responsive behavior. Combined experimental techniques with dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulation, the particle sizes, zeta potentials, drug loading content (LC), encapsulation efficiency (EE), aggregation morphologies, and doxorubicin (DOX) distribution of the mixed micelles were investigated, and the high DOX-loading capacity of the mixed micelles was found. Both in vitro DOX release profiles and DPD simulations of the DOX dynamics release process exhibited less leakage and good stability in neutral conditions and accelerated drug release behavior with a little initial burst in slightly acidic conditions. Cytotoxicity tests showed that the polymer PDEAEMA-PPEGMA and the blank mixed micelles had good biocompatibility, and DOX-loaded mixed micelles revealed certain cytotoxicity. These results suggest that the drug-loaded mixed micelles that consisted of the two polymers PDEAEMA-PPEGMA and PCL-PPEGMA can be new types of pH-responsive well-controlled release anticancer drug delivery mixed micelles.

Abstract
Herein we designed and synthesized mPEG/PDPA copolymers containing two 4-([2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridin]-4′-yl) phenyl (Tpyp) groups at the junction point of the two blocks (mPEG(-b-Tpyp)2-b-PDPAx, x = 23, 33, and 44). Interestingly, after a hierarchical pattern from the coordination of mPEG(-b-Tpyp)2-b-PDPAx with Ru(ii) ions followed by the self-assembly in water, 2D strip nanosheets with a monomolecular layer were obtained. In contrast, mPEG(-b-Tpyp)2-b-PDPAx without coordination self-assembled into spherical micelles in the similar condition. The formation of the rigid and charged ⋯Tpyp-Ru(ii)⋯ chain, the brush-shaped polymer architecture and the presence of the hexafluorophosphate (PF6−) counterions should be responsible for the unique self-assembly behavior of the metallo-supramolecular complexes. It is expected that the hierarchical self-assembly pattern can provide a new strategy for preparation of self-assemblies with different morphologies. Copolymers mPEG(-b-Tpyp)2-b-PDPAx were synthesized. After a hierarchical pattern from the coordination of the copolymers with Ru(ii) ions followed by the self-assembly in water, 2D strip nanosheets were obtained.![]()

Abstract
We report the fabrication of polymersomes, using as building blocks star-graft quarterpolymers, composed of hydrophobic polystyrene and pH-sensitive poly(2-vinylpyridine)-b-poly(acrylic acid) (P2VP-b-PAA) arms, emanated from a common nodule, enriched by thermosensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) grafts covalently bonded on the PAA block-arms. These multicompartmental polymersomes were evaluated as nanocarriers for the encapsulation and controlled co-delivery of doxorubicin (hydrophilic) and paclitaxel (hydrophobic) chemotherapeutic agents. The polymersomes can load these drugs in different compartments and can efficiently be internalized in the human lung adenocarcinoma epithelial cells, delivering their cargo and inducing high cell apoptosis. The release kinetics of both anticancer agents was controlled differently by the environmental conditions (pH and temperature). Enhanced release was observed at the acidic pH 6.0 and under physiological temperature (37 °C). At the same total drug level, co-delivery of these drugs with the polymersomes caused enhanced cytotoxicity and induced significantly higher cell apoptosis in the cancer cell line compared to the polymersomes loaded with either of the two drugs.

Abstract
A series of amphiphilic terpolymers with miktoarm star and triblock architectures of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and poly(l-lactide acid) (PLLA) or poly(DL-lactide acid) (PDLLA) terpolymers were synthesized as carriers for drug delivery. The architecture, molecular weight and crystallization behavior of the terpolymers were characterized. Anticancer drug doxorubicin was encapsulated in the micelles to investigate their drug loading properties. The miktoarm star terpolymers exhibited stronger crystallization capability, smaller size and better stability than that of triblock polymeric micelle, owing to the lower CMC values of miktoarm star polymeric micelle. Furthermore, the drug-loaded miktoarm star polymeric micelles showed the cumulative DOX release account of the micelles with PDLLA blocks was 65.3% while the release account of the corresponding micelles containing PLLA blocks was 45.2%. The IC50 values of drug-loaded miktoarm star polymeric micelle were lower than triblock polymeric micelle. Meanwhile, Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and Flow Cytometry results demonstrated that the miktoarm star micelles were more favorable for cellular internalization. The miktoarm star micelles with PDLLA blocks were promising carriers for anticancer drug delivery.

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.

Beilstein J Org Chem 2016; 12:939-49.

Abstract
The topic of stimuli-responsive nanocarriers for loading guest molecules is dynamic. It has been widely studied in applications including drug controlled release, smart sensing, catalysis, and modeling. In this paper, a graft copolymer (hyperbranched polystyrene)-g-poly[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate] (HBPS-g-PDMAEMA) was synthesized and characterized by (1)H NMR and GPC. It was observed that the star-like HBPS-g-PDMAEMA formed aggregates in aqueous solution. The influence of polymer concentration, ionic strength and pH value on the aggregates in aqueous solution was investigated by using UV-vis spectroscopy and DLS analysis. The results showed that size of aggregates was affected by a corresponding stimulus. In addition, the loading ability of HBPS-g-PDMAEMA aggregates was investigated by using pyrene or Nile red as the model guest molecules by using UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. The results showed that HBPS-g-PDMAEMA aggregates were capable to encapsulate small hydrophobic molecules. These newly prepared HBPS-g-PDMAEMA nanocarriers might be used in, e.g., medicine or catalysis.

Abstract
Here, we report the preparation and self-assembly of amphiphilic polyurethane phosphate ester (PUP) polymers with phospholipid-like structures. The polymers, designed to have a hydrophilic phosphate head and two amphiphilic PPG-IPDI-MPEG (PU) tails were synthesized via coupling and phosphorylation reactions in sequence. These amphiphilic polymers could self-assemble into various interesting nanostructures in aqueous solution, such as spherical, worm-like micelles, vesicles, and large compound vesicles, depending on the hydrophobic chain length of PU tails and the initial polymer concentrations. It was found that the morphology transition is not only caused by the unique molecular structure of amphiphilic polyurethanes, but also influenced by the additional hydrophilic phosphate groups incorporated, which disturb the force balance governing the aggregation structures. This research supplies a new clue for the fabrication of well-defined nanostructures.
