Abstract
Owing to the redox activity of the poly(ferrocenylsilane)-based polymer, several noble metal nanoparticles can be successfully prepared. As reported herein, the in situ preparation of Pd nanoparticles was performed using a redox-active platform of poly(ferrocenylmethylethylthiocarboxylpropylsilane) (PFC) micelles. PFC/Pd nanocomposites (NCs) with Pd nanoparticles uniformly dispersed at the surface of PFC nanospheres were obtained. The morphology of PFC/Pd NCs was further confirmed via high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Taking advantage of Pd nanoparticles, the PFC/Pd NCs showed significant catalytic activity during the reduction process of 4-nitrophenol by sodium borohydride. Although PFC micelles themselves showed no catalytic activity, they promoted the catalytic behavior of Pd nanoparticles obviously by anchoring the Pd nanoparticles at their surface to avoid the aggregation and leaching of Pd nanoparticles. In all, PFC/Pd NCs exhibited great potential as a composite nanocatalyst. Moreover, the PFC micelle was found to be a desired platform for nanocatalysts.

Abstract
Polyferrocenylsilane (PFS)-based polymers are an attractive family of organometallic polymers with unique redox-active properties. Herein, we report a novel amphiphilic redox-active PFS-based homopolymer, poly(ferrocenylmethylethylthiocarboxypropylsilane) (PFC), with a hydrophobic backbone chain and hydrophilic carboxylic acid side groups in each repeating unit. Self-assembly was induced by addition of water to a molecularly dispersed solution of PFC in DMSO. Spherical PFC micelles with controllable hydrodynamic diameters (60-180 nm) were obtained under various conditions. These PFC micelles could be readily endocytosed by A549 cells and HUVEC cells and show no significant cytotoxicity toward them at the concentration of 200 μg/mL. On this basis, Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) were prepared through in situ reduction of HAuCl4 by PFC micelles as nanoreactors without requiring any other reductants. The PFC/Au nanocomposites (NCs) were found to exhibit significant photothermal behavior. Moreover, PFC micelles could also act as nanoreactors for other noble metals such as Ag, Pd, and Pt. By taking advantage of properties of the nanostructures and noble metal nanoparticles comprising these materials, the PFC micelles and PFC/noble metal NCs may have great potential in biomedical or catalytic applications.

Abstract
We proposed a method using an aza-crown ether derivative to lock a hyperbranched polyethyleneimine, which endows the PEI25k with tumor targeting ability, anti-serum ability and extended circulation in the blood meanwhile retaining the high gene complexation and high transfection efficiency. The method we proposed here simultaneously endows cationic materials with high transfection efficiency and high safety, which greatly pushed the cationic materials to be applied in in vivo gene delivery.

Abstract
Nanocomposites of functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTsf) as nanofillers, and a copolymer of star-shaped poly(ε-caprolactone) (stPCL) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) as a polymeric matrix were synthesized, characterized, and their resistance to the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was evaluated. CNTsf contain hydroxyl, carboxyl and acyl chloride groups attached to their surface. Nanocomposites were prepared by mixing CNTsf to a solution of stPCL-PEG copolymer. Raman and FT-IR spectroscopies confirm the functionalization of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Star-shaped PCL-PEG copolymer was characterized by Gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectroscopies. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) shows that CNTsf are grafted to the stPCL-PEG copolymer. Crystallization behavior of the nanocomposites depends on the amount of CNTsf used in their preparation, detecting nucleation (nanocomposites prepared with 0.5 wt.% of CNTsf) or anti-nucleation (nanocomposites prepared with 1.0 wt.% of CNTsf) effects. Young's Moduli and thermal stability of nanocomposites were higher, but their resistence to the proliferation of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was lower than the observed for their pure polymer matrix.

Abstract
Polyethylenimine (PEI) has been extensively used for non-viral gene delivery. Increasing the molecular weight of PEI often improves transfection efficiency, but enhances cytotoxicity and non-specific interaction with plasma proteins, limiting its use in clinical applications. In this study, poly-l-glutamic acid (L-PGA) as an anionic polymer, was introduced to piperazine-modified PEI to improve its in vivo properties. The physicochemical properties, cytotoxicity, in vitro and in vivo tranfection efficiency of these carriers were evaluated. Conjugation of 50% of primary amines of PEI 25 kDa with piperazine in the presence of PGA1% (PEI25Pip50%/PGA1%) could significantly increase transfection efficiency even in the presence of serum compared to PEI 25 kDa. Increasing the PGA content led to lower cytotoxicity of DNA/PEI25Pip50%/PGA1% triplexes. Systemic administration of triplexes in Balb/c mice resulted in significant enhancement of luciferase gene expression in brain, spleen, and liver compared to PEI 25 kDa. In a 30-day survival study, no significant changes were observed in mice body weights in DNA/PEI25Pip50%/PGA1% group. Moreover, this group exhibited a survival rate of 100% compared to 0% in mice receiving PEI 25 kDa. This novel PEI25Pip50%/PGA1% carrier could be used to overcome the serum inhibitory effects on gene expression in vivo, providing a promising gene delivery system for tissue-specific targeting.

Abstract
This study introduces a novel class of imidazolium- and ammonium-based ionic liquids possessing two C12 and C14 tails and thioether linkers designed for lipoplex-mediated DNA delivery. Imidazolium-based ionic liquids displayed efficient gene delivery properties with low toxicity. Thiol-yne click chemistry was employed for the facile and robust synthesis of these thioether-based cationic lipioids with enhanced lipophilicity and low fluidity.

Abstract
We report on the synthesis and structure-property relations of a novel, dual-responsive organometallic poly(ionic liquid) (PIL), consisting of a poly(ferrocenylsilane) backbone of alternating redox-active, silane-bridged ferrocene units and tetraalkylphosphonium sulfonate moieties in the side groups. This PIL is redox responsive due to the presence of ferrocene in the backbone and also exhibits a lower critical solution temperature (LCST)-type thermal responsive behavior. The LCST phase transition originates from the interaction between water molecules and the ionic substituents and shows a concentration-dependent, tunable transition temperature in aqueous solution. The PIL's LCST-type transition temperature can also be influenced by varying the redox state of ferrocene in the polymer main chain. As the polymer can be readily cross-linked and is easily converted into hydrogels, it represents a new dual-responsive materials platform. Interestingly, the as-formed hydrogels display an unusual, strongly hysteretic volume-phase transition indicating useful thermal memory properties. By employing the dispersing abilities of this cationic PIL, CNT-hydrogel composites were successfully prepared. These hybrid conductive composite hydrogels showed bi-stable states and tunable resistance in heating-cooling cycles.
