Abstract
Despite the ever more versatile polymerization techniques that are becoming available, the synthesis of macromolecules with tailored functionalities can remain a lengthy endeavor. This becomes more conspicuous when the implementation of incompatible chemistries (i.e., strong polyelectrolytes) within sequence-controlled polymers is desired, often requiring (i) polymerization, (ii) chain extension, and (iii) postpolymerization modification. Herein, we explore the production of strong anionic/charge-neutral block copolymers (BCPs) in a one-pot fashion. This straightforward three-step process includes the synthesis of a macroinitiator and chain extension via rapid and efficient photomediated atom transfer radical polymerization, followed by in situ deprotection to expose the polyanionic domains. The resulting BCPs, which are strong amphiphiles by nature, are capable of self-assembly in aqueous media, as evidenced by dynamic light scattering, small-angle X-ray scattering, ζ-potential measurements, and transmission electron microscopy. We further demonstrate the versatility of our methodology by producing several BCPs through sampling of a single reaction mixture, enabling the straightforward production of strong polymer amphiphiles.

Abstract
Regular nanogels have been demonstrated their inefficiency for subterranean oil recovery due to their intrinsic drawbacks of fast swelling within minutes, thermal instability, and salinity vulnerability. Prior deployment of swelling delayed nanogels mainly depended on the reservoirs at a relatively higher temperature. To address the issues encountered during engineering deployment, hereinwe devised an integrative approach to in situ form swelling delayed robust nanogels by introducing radically active monomers with thermally sensitive moieties. The nanoparticles with hydrophobic cores in brine in response to thermal input in situ generated well-dispersed hydrophilic nanogels, which showed a pronounced delayed swelling of a week compared to traditional nanogels showing swelling kinetics within minutes. Furthermore, the formation of swelling-delayed nanogels could occur at ambient temperature. This behavior was radically different from that of temperature-controlled labile cross-linkers containing nanogels, requiring temperatures greater than 50 °C for volume increase thanks to ester hydrolysis. In addition, the in-situ formed nanogels displayed long-term thermal stability and salinity tolerance under hostile media at temperatures up to 130 °C. The release of an acidic proton under aqueous conditions has been demonstrated to control the microenvironment for various scenarios. The nanotechnology of converting hydrophobic nanoparticles to hydrophilic nanogels could be applied in a wide range of practical applications such as plugging materials and foaming stabilizers for in-depth conformance control during water and CO2 flooding.

Abstract
Selective ion separations are increasingly needed to combat water scarcity, recover resources from wastewater, and enable the efficient recycling of electronics waste. Emulsion liquid membranes (ELMs) have received interest due to rapid kinetics, high selectivities, and low solvent requirements but are too unstable for industrial usage. We demonstrate that polymeric microcapsules can serve as robust, solvent-free mimics of ELMs. As a proof of concept, we incorporated the copper-selective ligand Lix 84-I in the walls of microcapsules formed from a commercial polystyrene-b-polybutadiene-b-polystyrene triblock polymer. The microcapsules were formed from a double-emulsion template, resulting in particles typically 20-120 μm in diameter that encapsulated even smaller droplets of a dilute (≤0.5 M) H2SO4 solution. Batch experiments demonstrated facilitated-transport behavior, with equilibrium reached in as little as 10 min for microcapsules with 1% ligand, and with ∼15-fold selectivity for Cu2+ over Ni2+. Furthermore, the microcapsules could be packed readily in columns for flow-through operation, thus enabling near-complete Cu2+ removal in ∼2 min under certain conditions, recovery of Cu2+ by flowing through fresh dilute H2SO4, and reuse for at least 10 cycles. The approach in this work can serve as a template for using selective ligands to enable robust and simple flow-through processes for a variety of selective ion separations.

Abstract
![]()
Despite recent developments in controlled polymerization
techniques,
the straightforward synthesis of block copolymers that feature both
strong anionic and charge-neutral segments remains a difficult endeavor.
In particular, solubility issues may arise during the direct synthesis
of strong amphiphiles and typical postpolymerization deprotection
often requires harsh conditions. To overcome these challenges, we
employed Cu(0)-mediated reversible deactivation radical polymerization
(Cu(0)-RDRP) on a hydrophobic isobutoxy-protected 3-sulfopropyl acrylate.
Cu(0)-RDRP enables the rapid synthesis of the polymer, reaching high
conversions and low dispersities while using a single solvent system
and low amounts of copper species. These macromolecules are straightforward
to characterize and can subsequently be deprotected in a mild yet
highly efficient fashion to expose their strongly charged nature.
Furthermore, a protected sulfonate segment could be grown from a variety
of charge-neutral macroinitiators to produce, after the use of the
same deprotection chemistry, a library of amphiphilic, double-hydrophilic
as well as thermoresponsive block copolymers (BCPs). The ability of
these various BCPs to self-assemble in aqueous media was further studied
by dynamic light scattering, ζ-potential measurements as well
as atomic force and electron microscopy.

Abstract
Because of their permanent charge, strong polyelectrolytes remain challenging to characterize, in particular, when they are combined with hydrophobic features. For this reason, they are typically prepared through a postmodification of a fully hydrophobic precursor. Unfortunately, these routes often result in an incomplete functionalization or otherwise require harsh reaction conditions, thus limiting their applicability. To overcome these problems, in this work a strategy is presented that facilitates the preparation of well-defined strong polyanions by starting from protected 3-sulfopropyl methacrylate monomers. Depending on the chemistry of the protecting group, the hydrophobic precursor could be quantitatively converted into a strong polyanion under nucleophilic, acidic, or basic conditions. As a proof of concept, orthogonally protected diblock copolymers were synthesized, selectively deprotected, and allowed to self-assemble in aqueous solution. Further conversion into a fully water-soluble polyanion was achieved by deprotecting the second block as well.

Abstract
Polymerization-induced microphase separation has been used to prepare solid cross-linked monoliths containing bicontinuous and nanostructured polymer domains. We use this process to fabricate a monolith containing either a negatively or positively charged polyelectrolyte domain inside of the neutral styrene/divinylbenzene-derived matrix. First, the materials are made with a neutral pre-ionic polymer containing masked charged groups. The monoliths are then functionalized to a charged state by treatment with trimethylamine; small-angle X-ray scattering shows no significant morphological change in the microphase-separated structure upon postpolymerization modification. By exchanging dyes with the counterions in the material, we corroborated the continuity of the charged domains. Using ion-exchange capacity measurements, we estimate the number of accessible charges within the material based on macro-chain transfer agent molar mass and loading.

Abstract
RAFT-synthesized polymers are typically colored and malodorous due to the presence of the sulfur-based RAFT end-group(s). In principle, RAFT end-groups can be removed by treating molecularly dissolved copolymer chains with excess free radical initiators, amines, or oxidants. Herein we report a convenient method for the removal of RAFT end-groups from aqueous dispersions of diblock copolymer nano-objects using H2O2. This oxidant is relatively cheap, has minimal impact on the copolymer morphology, and produces benign side products that can be readily removed via dialysis. We investigate the efficiency of end-group removal for various diblock copolymer nano-objects prepared with either dithiobenzoate- or trithiocarbonate-based RAFT chain transfer agents. The advantage of using UV GPC rather than UV spectroscopy is demonstrated for assessing both the kinetics and extent of end-group removal.
