Abstract
Polymer colloids are complex materials that have the potential to be used in a vast array of applications. One of the main reasons for their continued growth in commercial use is the water-based emulsion polymerization process through which they are generally synthesized. This technique is not only highly efficient from an industrial point of view but also extremely versatile and permits the large-scale production of colloidal particles with controllable properties. In this perspective, we seek to highlight the central challenges in the synthesis and use of polymer colloids, with respect to both existing and emerging applications. We first address the challenges in the current production and application of polymer colloids, with a particular focus on the transition toward sustainable feedstocks and reduced environmental impact in their primary commercial applications. Later, we highlight the features that allow novel polymer colloids to be designed and applied in emerging application areas. Finally, we present recent approaches that have used the unique colloidal nature in unconventional processing techniques.

Abstract
"Hairy" nanoparticles (HNPs), i.e. inorganic NPs functionalized with polymer chains, are promising building blocks for the synthesis of advanced nanocomposite (NC) materials having several technological applications. Recent evidence shows that HNPs self-organize in a variety of anisotropic structures, resulting in an improvement of the functional properties of the materials, in which are embedded. In this paper, we propose a three-step colloidal synthesis of spherical SiO2-HNPs, with controlled particle morphology and surface chemistry. In detail, the SiO2 core, synthesized by a modified Stöber method, was first functionalized with a short-chain amino-silane, which acts as an anchor, and then covered by maleated polybutadiene (PB), a rubbery polymer having low glass transition temperature, rarely considered until now. An extensive investigation by a multi-technique analysis demonstrates that the synthesis of SiO2-HNPs is simple, scalable, and potentially applicable to different kind of NPs and polymers. Morphological analysis shows the overall distribution of SiO2-HNPs with a certain degree of spatial organization, suggesting that the polymer coating induces a modification of NP-NP interactions. The role of the surface PB brushes in influencing the special arrangement of SiO2-HNPs was observed also in cis-1,4-polybutadiene (cis-PB), since the resulting NC exhibited the particle packing in "string-like" superstructures. This confirms the tendency of SiO2-HNPs to self-assemble and create alternative structures in polymer NCs, which may impart them peculiar functional properties.

Abstract
In this study, poly(ethylene oxide) monomethyl ether (MPEO) of molecular weight of 5000, 10 000, and 20 000 g mol-1 were grafted onto colloidal silica nanoparticles (NPs) of a 27.6 nm diameter using two distinct "grafting to" processes. The first method was based on the coupling reaction of epoxide-end capped MPEO with amine-functionalized silica NPs, while the second method was based on the condensation of triethoxysilane-terminated MPEO onto the unmodified silica NPs. The influence of PEO molecular weight, grafting process and grafting conditions (temperature, reactant concentration, reaction time) on the PEO grafting density was fully investigated. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was used to determine the grafting density which ranged from 0.12 chains per nm2 using the first approach to 1.02 chains per nm2 when using the second approach. 29Si CP/MAS NMR characterization indirectly revealed that above a grafting density value of 0.3 PEO chains per nm2, a dendri-graft PEO network was built around the silica surface which was composed of PEO chains directly anchored to the silica surface and those grafted to silica NPs by intermediate of >CH-O-Si- bonds. The colloidal stability of the particles during different steps of the grafting process was characterized by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). We have found that the colloidal systems are stable whatever the achieved grafting density due to the strong repulsions between the NPs, with the strength of repulsion increasing with the molecular weight of the grafted MPEO chains.

Abstract
Post‐polymerization modification provides an elegant way to introduce chemical functionalities onto macromolecules to produce tailor‐made materials with superior properties. This concept was adapted to well‐defined block copolymers of the poly(2‐oxazoline) family and demonstrated the large potential of these macromolecules as universal toolkit for numerous applications. Triblock copolymers with separated water‐soluble, alkyne‐ and alkene‐containing segments were synthesized and orthogonally modified with various low‐molecular weight functional molecules by copper(I)‐catalyzed azide‐alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) and thiol‐ene (TE) click reactions, respectively. Representative toolkit polymers were used for the synthesis of gold, iron oxide and silica nanoparticles.

Abstract
We report a facile yet general in situ seed-mediated method for the synthesis of polymer-grafted gold nanoparticles with narrow size distributions (<10%), accurately tunable sizes, and excellent colloidal stability. This method can be extended to a broad range of types and molecular weights of polymer ligands. Nanoparticles with different shapes can also be prepared by using preformed shaped nanoparticles directly as the seeds.

Abstract
The emulsion polymerized mixed matrix (EPMM) method is a new approach to prepare nanocomposite membranes, in which inorganic nanoparticles are synthesized in situ at the interface of a dispersed aqueous phase in a continuous phase of polymer solution. In this paper, we report the synthesis and characterization of poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (PPO)-based EPMM membranes, in which silica nanoparticles are synthesized by the polymerization of tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) in the presence of two different co-solvents, ethanol and acetone, which are soluble in both the aqueous phase and the polymer solution. The EPPM membranes prepared in the presence of acetone show greater conversions of TEOS and a different structure of the synthesized silica nanoparticles compared to the EPMM membranes prepared in the presence of ethanol. The former membranes are both more permeable and more selective for O2/N2 and CO2/CH4. Both types of EPMM membranes are more permeable than the reference PPO membranes. However, while their O2/N2 selectivity is practically unchanged, their CO2/CH4 selectivity is decreased compared to the reference PPO membranes.

Abstract
The insulin immobilization behaviors of silica vesicles (SV) before and after modification with hydrophobic alkyl -C8 and -C18 groups have been studied and correlated to the grafted alkyl chain length. In order to minimize the influence from the other structural parameters, monolayered -C8 or -C18 groups are grafted onto SV with controlled density. The insulin immobilization capacity of SV is dependent on the initial insulin concentrations (IIC). At high IIC (2.6-3.0 mg/mL), the trend of insulin immobilization capacity of SV is SV-OH > SV-C8 > SV-C18, which is determined mainly by the surface area of SV. At medium IIC (0.6-1.9 mg/mL), the trend changes to SV-C8 ≥ SV-C18 > SV-OH as both the surface area and alkyl chain length contribute to the insulin immobilization. At an extremely low IIC, the hydrophobic-hydrophobic interaction between the alkyl group and insulin molecules plays the most significant role. Consequently, SV-C18 with longer alkyl groups and the highest hydrophobicity show the best insulin enrichment performance compared to SV-C8 and SV-OH, as evidenced by an insulin detection limit of 0.001 ng/mL in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and 0.05 ng/mL in artficial urine determined by mass spectrometry (MS).

Abstract
Functionalised nanomaterials are gaining popularity for use as drug delivery vehicles and, in particular, mucus penetrating nanoparticles may improve drug bioavailability via the oral route. To date, few polymers have been investigated for their muco-penetration, and the effects of systematic structural changes to polymer architectures on the penetration and diffusion of functionalised nanomaterials through mucosal tissue have not been reported. We investigated the influence of poly(2-oxazoline) alkyl side chain length on nanoparticle diffusion; poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline), poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline), and poly(2-n-propyl-2-oxazoline) were grafted onto the surface of thiolated silica nanoparticles and characterised by FT-IR, Raman and NMR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and small angle neutron scattering. Diffusion coefficients were determined in water and in a mucin dispersion (using Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis), and penetration through a mucosal barrier was assessed using an ex vivo fluorescence technique. The addition of a single methylene group in the side chain significantly altered the penetration and diffusion of the materials in both mucin dispersions and mucosal tissue. Nanoparticles functionalised with poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline) were significantly more diffusive than particles with poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) while particles with poly(2-n-propyl-2-oxazoline) showed no significant increase compared to the unfunctionalised particles. These data show that variations in the polymer structure can radically alter their diffusive properties with clear implications for the future design of mucus penetrating systems.

Abstract
Hydrophilic polymer-coated iron oxide nanoparticles are potential materials for a plethora of applications in the biotechnological field. Typical such polymers, e.g. dextran or poly(ethylene glycol), lack the ability to tailor the biological response to an environmental trigger, while common responsive polymers such as poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) or poly(acrylic acid) are not suitable for biomedical applications. We present the synthesis and characterization of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles with thermoresponsive polyoxazoline brushes grafted at unprecedented density using nitrodopamine anchor chemistry. Reversible aggregation/deaggregation is observed in water and biological medium, confirming control over the colloidal stability. Thermal switching of the solubility could only be achieved by global heating of the sample, while local magnetothermal heating did not produce a sufficiently strong temperature gradient through the brush. Varying the polymer composition allows for tuning of the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) as well as the average nanoparticle cluster size obtained upon heating. The LCST of polyoxazolines and the thermal colloidal stability are shown to be greatly affected by ion concentration, by polymer grafting density and also by the presence of serum protein; this shows that transition temperatures of free polymers in water can be very misleading for the design of polymer-coated nanomaterials for biomedical applications. Finally, the thermoresponsive SPION are shown to be non-cytotoxic and with a low cell uptake scaling with the hydration of the polymer brush, which is tuned by the polymer composition. Thus, we demonstrate that pozylated nanoparticles provide the advantages of PEG- and PNIPAM-grafted nanoparticles, but provide a tunable and more easily functionalizable platform for further development.
