Abstract
Academic research regarding polymeric materials has been of great interest. Likewise, polymer industries are considered as the most familiar petrochemical industries. Despite the valuable and continuous advancements in various polymeric material technologies over the last century, many varieties and advances related to the field of polymer science and engineering still promise a great potential for exciting new applications. Research, development, and industrial support have been the key factors behind the great progress in the field of polymer applications. This work provides insight into the recent energy applications of polymers, including energy storage and production. The study of polymeric materials in the field of enhanced oil recovery and water treatment technologies will be presented and evaluated. In addition, in this review, we wish to emphasize the great importance of various functional polymers as effective adsorbents of organic pollutants from industrial wastewater. Furthermore, recent advances in biomedical applications are reviewed and discussed.

Abstract
An ideal DNA carrier is one that is capable of effectively condensing DNA into complexes of optimum size and shape, preventing premature decomplexation in the bloodstream and efficiently releasing the DNA into affected cells. In this context, we have developed a novel β-cyclodextrin (β-CD)-based four-arm star-shaped polymer inclusion complex (IC) with arms made of a poly(l-histidine)-based cationic polymer. The polymer was well characterized by gel permeation chromatography, NMR, and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. We have also investigated its DNA complexation and release properties. Bisadamantane containing a disulfide bond was synthesized that linked two such poly(l-histidine)-containing β-CD units via guest-host interactions to prepare the presented IC. Besides using the conventional steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy, the ability of this IC to condense DNA to form polyplexes and their release behavior have been established by using the time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy technique. Thiazole orange (TO) was used for the first time as a DNA-intercalating dye in the time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopic study. The superior DNA-condensing ability of the IC as compared to that of the precursor two-arm β-CD and linear poly(l-histidine) of a comparable molecular weight, as confirmed by dynamic light scattering, zeta potential, atomic force microscopy, and gel electrophoresis studies, could be attributed to a higher charge density. The IC-DNA polyplexes were found to be stable in a medium similar to an extracellular fluid but could efficiently release DNA in the presence of 10 mM glutathione, a concentration prevalent in the intracellular fluid of cancer cells. Hence, here, we have successfully demonstrated the synthesis of a novel biocompatible star-shaped IC with the potential to carry and release DNA in cancer cells and also established the feasibility of using the time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopic technique to study the complexation behavior of the polycation and DNA using TO as a DNA-intercalating dye.

Abstract
A novel ABA-type polyethylene glycol (PEG)-b-polyketal (PK)-b-PEG block copolymer was synthesized via click reactions between the monoazido-monomethoxy-PEG and dialkyne terminated aliphatic polyketal with no carboxylic/amide linkages. Formation of the novel block copolymer was confirmed by 1H NMR, GPC, TGA, and DSC studies. The formed copolymer has shown faster degradation at acidic pH. Self-assembly of this block copolymer (average size 6.2 nm) was assessed by fluorescence study using pyrene as a probe. Doxorubicin loaded block copolymeric micelles (69.9 nm) have shown pH dependent elevated drug release at pH 6.4, indicating its potential as a pH responsive nano-carrier for anticancer therapy. The nano-sized copolymer demonstrated tumoricidal activities against the lymphoma of murine and human origin with significant levels of growth inhibition and apoptosis. Therapy with doxorubicin loaded copolymer reduced the tumor size and augmented the life span of the tumor bearing animals with improved histopathological parameters, compared with the untreated control.

Linear Cyclodextrin Polymer Prodrugs as Novel Therapeutics for Niemann-Pick Type C1 Disorder. Sci Rep 2018; 8:9547.

Abstract
Niemann-Pick Type C1 disorder (NPC) is a rare lysosomal storage disease characterized by the accumulation of cholesterol in lysosomes. NPC has no FDA approved treatments yet, however 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD) has shown efficacy for treating the disease in both mouse and feline NPC models and is currently being investigated in late stage clinical trials. Despite promising results, therapeutic use of HPβCD is limited by the need for high doses, ototoxicity and intrathecal administration. These limitations can be attributed to its poor pharmacokinetic profile. In the attempt to overcome these limitations, we have designed a β-cyclodextrin (βCD) based polymer prodrugs (ORX-301) for an enhanced pharmacokinetic and biodistribution profile, which in turn can potentially provide an improved efficacy at lower doses. We demonstrated that subcutaneously injected ORX-301 extended the mean lifespan of NPC mice at a dosage 5-fold lower (800 mg/kg, body weight) the HPβCD dose proven efficacious (4000 mg/kg). We also show that ORX-301 penetrates the blood brain barrier and counteracts neurological impairment. These properties represent a substantial improvement and appear to overcome major limitations of presently available βCD-based therapy, demonstrating that this novel prodrug is a valuable alternative/complement for existing therapies.

Abstract
Cationic lipids have become known as one of the most versatile tools for the delivery of DNA, RNA and many other therapeutic molecules, and are especially attractive because they can be easily designed, synthesized and characterized. Most of cationic lipids share the common structure of cationic head groups and hydrophobic portions with linker bonds between both domains. The linker bond is an important determinant of the chemical stability and biodegradability of cationic lipid, and further governs its transfection efficiency and cytotoxicity. Based on the structures of linker bonds, they can be grouped into many types, such as ether, ester, amide, carbamate, disulfide, urea, acylhydrazone, phosphate, and other unusual types (carnitine, vinyl ether, ketal, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, malonic acid diamide and dihydroxybenzene). This review summarizes some research results concerning the nature (such as the structure and orientation of linker groups) and density (such as the spacing and the number of linker groups) of linker bond for improving the chemical stability, biodegradability, transfection efficiency and cytotoxicity of cationic lipid to overcome the critical barriers of in vitro and in vivo transfection.
