Abstract
The functions of biomolecular condensates are thought to be influenced by their material properties, and these will be determined by the internal organization of molecules within condensates. However, structural characterizations of condensates are challenging, and rarely reported. Here, we deploy a combination of small angle neutron scattering, fluorescence recovery after photobleaching, and coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations to provide structural descriptions of model condensates that are formed by macromolecules from nucleolar granular components (GCs). We show that these minimal facsimiles of GCs form condensates that are network fluids featuring spatial inhomogeneities across different length scales that reflect the contributions of distinct protein and peptide domains. The network-like inhomogeneous organization is characterized by a coexistence of liquid- and gas-like macromolecular densities that engenders bimodality of internal molecular dynamics. These insights suggest that condensates formed by multivalent proteins share features with network fluids formed by systems such as patchy or hairy colloids.

Abstract
The linear shrinkage behavior in thermoresponsive diblock copolymer films and its potential application in temperature sensors are investigated. The copolymer is composed of two thermoresponsive blocks with different transition temperatures (TTs): di(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (MEO2MA; TT1 = 25 °C) and poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (OEGMA300; TT2 = 60 °C) with a molar ratio of 1:1. Aqueous solutions of PMEO2MA-b-POEGMA300 show a three-stage transition upon heating as seen with optical transmittance and small-angle X-ray scattering: dissolution (T < TT1), self-assembled micelles with core-shell structure (TT1 < T < TT2), and aggregation of collapsed micelles (T > TT2). Due to the restrictions in the polymer chain arrangement introduced by the solid Si substrate, spin-coated PMEO2MA-b-POEGMA300 films exhibit an entirely different internal structure and transition behavior. Neutron reflectivity shows the absence of an ordered structure normal to the Si substrate in as-prepared PMEO2MA-b-POEGMA300 films. After exposure to D2O vapor for 3 h and then increasing the temperature above its TT1 and TT2, the ordered structure is still not observed. Only a D2O enrichment layer is formed close to the hydrophilic Si substrate. Such PMEO2MA-b-POEGMA300 films show a linear shrinkage between TT1 and TT2 in a D2O vapor atmosphere. This special behavior can be attributed to the synergistic effect between the restrained collapse of the PMEO2MA blocks by the still swollen POEGMA300 blocks and the impedance of chain arrangement by the Si substrate. Based on this unique behavior, spin-coated PMEO2MA-b-POEGMA300 films are further prepared into a temperature sensor by implementing Ag electrodes. Its resistance decreases linearly with temperature between TT1 and TT2.

Abstract
The reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization method was adopted here to prepare a series of thermo-sensitive copolymers, poly (N,N-diethyl- acrylamide-b-N-vinylpyrrolidone). Their structures, molecular weight distribution and temperature sensitivity performances were characterized by the nuclear magnetic resonance (1HNMR), the gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and the fluorescence spectrophotometer, respectively. It has been identified that the synthesis reaction of the block copolymer was living polymerization. The thermo-sensitivity study suggested that N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP), played a key role on the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) performance.

Abstract
We report a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior of binary systems consisting of poly(benzyl methacrylate) (PBnMA) and solvate ionic liquids: equimolar mixtures of triglyme (G3) or tetraglyme (G4) and lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide. We evaluated the critical temperatures (Tcs) using transmittance measurements. The stability of the glyme-Li+ complex ([Li(G3 or G4)]+) in the presence of PBnMA was confirmed using Raman spectroscopy, pulsed-field gradient spin-echo NMR (PGSE-NMR), and thermogravimetric analysis to demonstrate that the complex was not disrupted. The interaction between glyme-Li+ complex and PBnMA was investigated via 7Li NMR chemical shifts. Upfield shifts originating from the ring-current effect of the aromatic ring within PBnMA were observed with the addition of PBnMA, indicating localization of the glyme-Li+ complex above and below the benzyl group of PBnMA, which may be a reason for negative mixing entropy, a key requirement of the LCST.
