Abstract
This research introduces a method to enhance the mechanical properties of elastomers by grafting polymer chains onto single-chain flexible nanoparticles (SCNPs) and incorporating dynamic functional groups. Drawing on developments in grafting polymers onto hard nanoparticle fillers, this method employs the distinct flexibility of SCNPs to diminish heterogeneity and enhance core size control. We use molecular dynamics (MD) simulations for a mesoscale analysis of structural properties, particularly the effects of dynamic functional group quantities and their distribution. The findings demonstrate that increased quantities of functional groups are correlated with enhanced mechanical strength and toughness, showing improved stress-strain responses and energy dissipation capabilities. Moreover, the uniformity in the distribution of these functional groups is crucial, promoting a more cohesive and stable dynamic bonding network. The insights gained from MD simulations not only advance our understanding of the microstructural control necessary for optimizing macroscopic properties, but also provide valuable guidance for the design and engineering of advanced polymer nanocomposites, thereby enhancing the material performance through strategic molecular design.

Abstract
Nanotheranostics has attracted much attention due to its widespread application in molecular imaging and cancer therapy. Molecular imaging using nanoparticles has attracted special attention in the diagnosis of cancer at early stages. With the progress made in nanotheranostics, studying drug release, accumulation in the target tissue, biodistribution, and treatment effectiveness are other important factors. However, according to the studies conducted in this regard, each nanoparticle has some advantages and limitations that should be examined and then used in clinical applications. The main goal of this review is to explore the recent advancements in nanotheranostics for cancer therapy and diagnosis. Then, it is attempted to present recent studies on nanotheranostics used as a contrast agent in various imaging modalities and a platform for cancer therapy.

Abstract
AbstractPolyphenols are believed to possess numerous health benefits and can be grouped as phenolic acids, flavonoids or non-flavonoids. Research involving the synthesis of nanopolyphenols has attracted interest in the areas of functional food, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical development. This is in an effort to overcome current challenges which limit the application of polyphenols such as their rapid elimination, low water-solubility, instability at low pH, and their particle size. In the synthesis of nanopolyphenols, the type of nanocarrier used, the nanoencapsulation technique employed and the type of polymers that constitute the drug delivery system are crucial. For this review, all mentioned factors which can influence the therapeutic efficacy of nanopolyphenols were assessed. Their efficacy as anti-diabetic agents was also evaluated in 33 publications. Among these were phenolic acid (1), flavonoids (13), non-flavonoids (17) and polyphenol-rich extracts (2). The most researched polyphenols were quercetin and curcumin. Nanoparticles were the main nanocarrier and the size of the nanopolyphenols ranged from 15 to 333 nm with encapsulation efficiency and drug loading capacities of 56–97.7% and 4.2–53.2%, respectively. The quantity of nanomaterial administered orally ranged from 1 to 300 mg/kg/day with study durations of 1–70 days. Most studies compared the effect of the nanopolyphenol to its free-form and, in all but three cases, significantly greater effects of the former were reported. Assessment of the polyphenol to understand its properties and the subsequent synthesis of its nanoencapsulated form using suitable nanocarriers, polymers and encapsulation techniques can result in effective therapeutic agents for the treatment of diabetes.

Abstract
A facile approach is established to prepare zwitterionic nanocapsules (ZN C s) with controlled diameters and core/shell structures based on an inverse reversible addition-fragmentation transfer (RAFT) miniemulsion interfacial polymerization method. The diameters and core volume fractions of ZNCs can be tuned finely from 61 to 220 nm and from 0.22 to 0.61, respectively. Furthermore, the thermal-responsive property of the prepared zwitterionic nanocapsules was systematically studied relating to core/shell ratios and cross-linking degrees. These ZNCs could be particularly useful in constructing polymeric materials with well-defined nanoporous structures for nano-void membranes, drug delivery devices and catalytic carriers.

Abstract
Nanotechnology-based delivery systems have been considered a promising approach for topical application, considering their characteristics of penetration into/across the skin. The present review aimed to evaluate the recent international scenario of patents concerning the use of nanotechnology- based delivery systems as skin penetration enhancers. A survey of recent patent documents was conducted by using the Espacenet patent database including the terms "skin" in the title and "promot* or enhanc* and penetrat* or absorp* or permeat*" and "nano*" with the truncation symbol (*) in the abstract of documents. A total of 110 patents were published from 2008 to 2018, with 94 technologies being considered. The results demonstrated an increase in innovations concerning nanotechnologybased delivery systems as skin penetration enhancers in recent years. Most patent applicants are from China (60.6%) and Korea (21.3%), and companies (68%) were the most prominent owners. The majority of patent applications (76%) were intended for cosmetic purposes; the types of products and nanostructures were also investigated. Overall results demonstrated the increased interest around the world in patenting products involving skin permeation promotion and nanotechnology for pharmaceutical and, mainly, for cosmetics purposes.
