Abstract
Herein, an ω,ω-macromolecular chain transfer monomer (macro-CTM) containing a RAFT (reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer) group and a methacryloyl group was synthesized and used to mediate photoinitiated RAFT dispersion polymerization of hydroxypropyl methacrylate (HPMA) in water. The macro-CTM undergoes a self-condensing vinyl polymerization (SCVP) mechanism under RAFT dispersion polymerization conditions, leading to the formation of amphiphilic branched block copolymers and the assemblies. Compared with RAFT solution polymerization, it was found that the SCVP process was promoted under RAFT dispersion polymerization conditions. Morphologies of branched block copolymer assemblies could be controlled by varying the monomer concentration and the [HPMA]/[macro-CTM] ratio. The branched block copolymer vesicles could be used as seeds for seeded RAFT emulsion polymerization, and framboidal vesicles were successfully obtained. Finally, degrees of branching of branched block copolymers could be further controlled by using a binary mixture of the macro-CTM and a linear macro-RAFT agent or a small molecule CTM. We believe that this study not only provides a versatile strategy for the preparation of branched block copolymer assemblies but also offers important insights into polymer synthesis via heterogeneous RAFT polymerization.

Abstract
The morphological control and transformation of soft nanomaterials are critical for their physical and chemical properties, which can be achieved by dynamically regulating the hydrophilicity of amphiphilic polymers during self-assembly. Herein, an amphiphilic homopolymer poly(N-(2,2'-bipyridine)-4-acrylamide) (PBPyAA) with bipyridine pendants is synthesized, and the effect of various parameters including initial concentration, temperature, pH, and metal ion coordination on the self-assembly behavior and morphology of the assemblies is investigated. Upon changing the initial concentration of PBPyAA, bowl-shaped nanoparticles (BNPs) with precisely controlled diameter, opening size, and thickness are obtained. With the decrease of pH of the solution, the negatively charged surface of BNPs transforms to a positively charged state. Furthermore, the addition of divalent metal ions (Co2+, Mn2+, and Zn2+) induces the transformation of BNPs to vesicles and giant vesicles. The effect of the above factors on the morphology of the assemblies is essential to change the hydrophilicity of PBPyAA dynamically, leading to variation of the local viscosity during self-assembly. Overall, manipulation of the structural parameters of BNPs and transformation of BNPs to vesicles are achieved, providing fresh insights for the precise control of the morphologies of soft nanomaterials.

Abstract
Flow chemistry provides a neo-orientation for the research and development of chemical technology, in which heterogeneous continuous catalysis based on packed beds can realize rapid separation and recycling. However, options for heterogeneous catalysts are still limited. In this work, we gradually grow covalent organic frameworks (COFs, TpBpy) on the surface of a silica gel (SiO2)-supported substrate to obtain a stable copper(I)-chelated high-loading heterogeneous catalyst (SiO2@CuI-TpBpy). SiO2@CuI-TpBpy shows high catalytic activity in three-component Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, giving the corresponding triazoles with excellent yields and reposeful recyclability under batch conditions. The structures of the catalysts remain steady, and the copper contents are basically unchanged after five cycles. Then, the catalysts are successfully applied for three-component heterogeneous catalysis in a one-pot continuous flow to prepare rufinamide in 89% yield for 24 h stably and efficiently with mere traces of copper ions remaining. More importantly, the catalytic system reveals a minuscule effect of catalyst particle size on internal diffusion. This COF encapsulation strategy presents a new possibility for the design of industrial heterogeneous catalysts with high metal loading and low internal diffusion resistance.

Abstract
Liquid crystalline nanoparticles (LC NPs) are a kind of polymer NPs with LC mesogens, which can form special anisotropic morphologies due to the influence of LC ordering. Owing to the stimuli-responsiveness of the LC blocks, LC NPs show abundant morphology evolution behaviors in response to external regulation. LC NPs have great application potential in nano-devices, drug delivery, special fibers and other fields. Polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) method can synthesize LC NPs at high solid content, reducing the harsh demand for reaction solvent of the LC polymers, being a better choice for large-scale production. In this review, we introduced recent research progress of PISA-LC NPs by dividing them into several parts according to the LC mesogen, and discussed the improvement of experimental conditions and the potential application of these polymers.

Abstract
Herein, we present a versatile platform for the synthesis of pH-responsive poly([N-(2-hydroxypropyl)]methacrylamide)-b-poly[2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl methacrylate] diblock copolymer (PHPMA-b-PDPA) nanoparticles (NPs) obtained via microwave-assisted reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization-induced self-assembly (MWI-PISA). The N-(2-hydroxypropyl) methacrylamide (HPMA) monomer was first polymerized to obtain a macrochain transfer agent with polymerization degrees (DPs) of 23 and 51. Subsequently, using mCTA and 2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DPA) as monomers, we successfully conducted MWI-PISA emulsion polymerization in aqueous solution with a solid content of 10 wt %. The NPs were obtained with high monomer conversion and polymerization rates. The resulting diblock copolymer NPs were analyzed by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and cryogenic-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM). cryo-TEM studies reveal the presence of only NPs with spherical morphology such as micelles and polymer vesicles known as polymersomes. Under the selected conditions, we were able to fine-tune the morphology from micelles to polymersomes, which may attract considerable attention in the drug-delivery field. The capability for drug encapsulation using the obtained in situ pH-responsive NPs, the polymersomes based on PHPMA23-b-PDPA100, and the micelles based on PHPMA51-b-PDPA100 was demonstrated using the hydrophobic agent and fluorescent dye as Nile red (NR). In addition, the NP disassembly in slightly acidic environments enables fast NR release.

Abstract
As a result of the biological activities of natural flavonoids, several synthetic strategies aiming to obtain analogues with improved potency and/or pharmacokinetic profile have been developed. Since the triazole ring has been associated with several biological activities and metabolic stability, hybridization with a 1,2,3-triazole ring has been increasingly reported over the last years. The feasible synthesis through copper (I) catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) has allowed the accomplishment of several hybrids. Since 2017, almost 700 flavonoid hybrids conjugated with 1,2,3-triazole, including chalcones, flavones, flavanones and flavonols, among others, with antitumor, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antifouling activity have been reported. This review compiles the biological activities recently described for these hybrids, highlighting the mechanism of action and structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.

Abstract
Amphiphilic copolymers with pendant functional groups in polyester segments are widely used in nanomedicine. These enriched functionalities are designed to form covalent conjugates with payloads or provide additional stabilization effects for encapsulated drugs. A general method is successfully developed for the efficient preparation of functional biodegradable PEG-polyester copolymers via click chemistry. Firstly, in the presence of mPEG as initiator, Sn(Oct)2-catalyzed ring-opening polymerization of the α-alkynyl functionalized lactone with D,L-lactide or ε-caprolactone afforded linear mPEG-polyesters bearing multiple pendant alkynyl groups. Kinetic studies indicated the formation of random copolymers. Through copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction, various small azido molecules with different functionalities to polyester segments are efficiently grafted. The molecular weights, polydispersities and grafting efficiencies of azido molecules of these copolymers were investigated by NMR and GPC. Secondly, it is demonstrated that the resulting amphiphilic functional copolymers with low CMC values could self-assemble to form nanoparticles in aqueous media. In addition, the in vitro degradation study and cytotoxicity assays indicated the excellent biodegradability and low cytotoxicity of these copolymers. This work provides a general approach toward the preparation of functional PEG-polyester copolymers in a quite efficient way, which may further facilitate the application of functional PEG-polyesters as drug delivery materials.

Abstract
Over the past decade or so, polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) has become a versatile method for rational preparation of concentrated block copolymer nanoparticles with a diverse set of morphologies. Much of the PISA literature has focused on the preparation of well-defined linear block copolymers by using linear macromolecular chain transfer agents (macro-CTAs) with high chain transfer constants. In this review, a recent process is highlighted from an unusual angle that has expanded the scope of PISA including i) synthesis of block copolymers with nonlinear architectures (e.g., star block copolymer, branched block copolymer) by PISA, ii) in situ synthesis of blends of polymers by PISA, and iii) utilization of macro-CTAs with low chain transfer constants in PISA. By highlighting these important examples, new insights into the research of PISA and future impact these methods will have on polymer and colloid synthesis are provided.
