Abstract
Compartmentalization is a crucial feature of a natural cell, manifested in cell membrane and inner lumen. Inspired by the cellular structure, multicompartment polymersomes (MCPs), including membrane-compartmentalized polymersomes and lumen-compartmentalized polymersomes (polymersomes-in-polymersomes), have aroused great expectations for biological applications such as biocatalysis and cell mimics in the past decades. Compared with traditional polymersomes, MCPs have advantages in encapsulating multiple enzymes separately for multistep enzymatic cascade reactions. In this review, first, the design principles and preparation methods of membrane-compartmentalized and lumen-compartmentalized polymersomes are summarized. Next, recent advances of MCPs as nanoreactors and cell mimics to mimic subcellular organelles or artificial cells are discussed. Finally, the future research directions of MCPs are prospected.

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
Introduction of a fluorine-containing block into block copolymers is an effective method to tune block copolymer nanoassemblies with a microphase-separated structure. However, this microphase-separated structure is difficult to clearly observe due to its nanoscale size. In this work, fluorine-containing ABC triblock copolymer vesicles of poly(ethylene glycol)-block-polystyrene-block-poly(4-vinylbenzyl pentafluorophenyl ether) (PEG-b-PS-b-PVBFP) are synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization under dispersed condition. Owing to the choice of a suitable degree of polymerization of the three blocks, the synthesized PEG45-b-PS197-b-PVBFP233 vesicles have a relatively large size of around 216 nm and a thin vesicular membrane with a thickness of around 28 nm. Ascribed to the relatively large size of the vesicles and the thin vesicular membrane, it is concluded that the fluorine-containing PVBFP block forms 9 nm columnar microdomains shielded by the PS phase in the vesicular membrane.

Abstract
Polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) combines polymerization and self-assembly in a single step with distinct efficiency that has set it apart from the conventional solution self-assembly processes. PISA holds great promise for large-scale production, not only because of its efficient process for producing nano/micro-particles with high solid content, but also thanks to the facile control over the particle size and morphology. Since its invention, many research groups around the world have developed new and creative approaches to broaden the scope of PISA initiations, morphologies and applications, etc. The growing interest in PISA is certainly reflected in the increasing number of publications over the past few years, and in this review, we aim to summarize these recent advances in the emerging aspects of RAFT-mediated PISA. These include (1) non-thermal initiation processes, such as photo-, enzyme-, redox- and ultrasound-initiation; the achievements of (2) high-order structures, (3) hybrid materials and (4) stimuli-responsive nano-objects by design and adopting new monomers and new processes; (5) the efforts in the realization of upscale production by utilization of high throughput technologies, and finally the (6) applications of current PISA nano-objects in different fields and (7) its future directions.

Abstract
A series of linear amphiphilic pentablock terpolymer PAAx-b-PS48-b-PEO46-b-PS48-b-PAAx (AxS48O46S48Ax) with various lengths x of the PAA block (x = 15, 40, 60, and 90) were synthesized via a two-step atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) using Br-poly(ethylene oxide)-Br (Br-PEO46-Br) as the macroinitiator, styrene (St) as the first monomer, and tert-butyl acrylate (tBA) as the second monomer, followed with the hydrolysis of PtBA blocks. The AxS48O46S48Ax pentablock terpolymers formed micelles in dilute aqueous solution, of which the morphologies were dependent on the length x of the PAA block. Cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and zeta potential measurement were employed to investigate the morphologies, chain structures, size, and size distribution of the obtained micelles. The morphology of AxS48O46S48Ax micelles changed from spherical vesicles with ordered porous membranes to long double nanotubes, then to long nanotubes with inner modulated nanotubes or short nanotubes, and finally, to spherical micelles or large compound vesicles with spherical micelles inside when x increased from 15 to 90. The hydrophobic PS blocks formed the walls of vesicles and nanotubes as well as the core of spherical micelles. The hydrophilic PEO and PAA block chains were located on the surfaces of vesicle membranes, nanotubes, and spherical micelles. The PAA block chains were partially ionized, leading to the negative zeta potential of AxS48O46S48Ax micelles in dilute aqueous solutions.
