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
Block copolymers form the basis of the most ubiquitous materials such as thermoplastic elastomers, bridge interphases in polymer blends, and are fundamental for the development of high-performance materials. The driving force to further advance these materials is the accessibility of block copolymers, which have a wide variety in composition, functional group content, and precision of their structure. To advance and broaden the application of block copolymers will depend on the nature of combined segmented blocks, guided through the combination of polymerization techniques to reach a high versatility in block copolymer architecture and function. This review provides the most comprehensive overview of techniques to prepare linear block copolymers and is intended to serve as a guideline on how polymerization techniques can work together to result in desired block combinations. As the review will give an account of the relevant procedures and access areas, the sections will include orthogonal approaches or sequentially combined polymerization techniques, which increases the synthetic options for these materials.

Abstract
Biobased farnesene (Far) was polymerized by nitroxide-mediated polymerization in miniemulsions using two different alkoxyamine initiators, the SG1-based and succinimidyl-modified BlocBuilder (NHS-BB) and Dispolreg 007 (D7). Stable emulsions were observed after 30 h of reaction at 90 °C, where NHS-BB-initiated systems resulted in smaller particles (∼300 nm) than using D7 (∼400 nm). Successful chain extension of the poly(Far) macroinitiators (24,500-39,700 g mol-1) with styrene were achieved using 15 wt % surfactant relative to monomer concentration. Compartmentalization effects were not observed in these emulsions as the polymerization rate was still much slower compared to the bulk, even though Z-averaged particle sizes were around 300-400 nm. Finally, all biobased diblock copolymers were synthesized by chain-extending poly(Far) macroinitiators with isobornyl methacrylate (iBOMA), where the D7 initiator showed more effective chain extension (less unreacted macroinitiator) than NHS-BB.
