Abstract
Polymeric microspheres (PMs) have attracted great attention in the field of biomedicine in the last several decades due to their small particle size, special functionalities shown on the surface and high surface-to-volume ratio. However, how to fabricate PMs which can meet the clinical needs and transform laboratory achievements to industrial scale-up still remains a challenge. Therefore, advanced fabrication technologies are pursued. In this review, we summarize the technologies used to fabricate PMs, including emulsion-based methods, microfluidics, spray drying, coacervation, supercritical fluid and superhydrophobic surface-mediated method and their advantages and disadvantages. We also review the different structures, properties and functions of the PMs and their applications in the fields of drug delivery, cell encapsulation and expansion, scaffolds in tissue engineering, transcatheter arterial embolization and artificial cells. Moreover, we discuss existing challenges and future perspectives for advancing fabrication technologies and biomedical applications of PMs.

Abstract
Hyper-crosslinked porous organic nanomaterials, especially the hyper-crosslinked polymers (HCPs), are a unique class of materials that combine the benefits of high surface area, porous structure, and good chemical and thermal stability all rolled into one. A wide range of synthetic methods offer an enormous variety of HCPs with different pore structures and morphologies, which has allowed HCPs to be developed for gas adsorption and separations, chemical adsorption and encapsulation, and heterogeneous catalysis. Here, we present a systematic review of recent approaches to pore size modulation and morphological tailoring of HCPs and their applications to catalysis. We mainly compare the effects of pore size modulation and morphological tailoring on catalytic applications, aiming to pave the way for researchers to develop HCPs with an optimal performance for modern applications.

Abstract
Inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) have a tunable shape, size, surface morphology, and unique physical properties like catalytic, magnetic, electronic, and optical capabilities. Unlike inorganic nanomaterials, organic polymers exhibit excellent stability, biocompatibility, and processability with a tailored response to external stimuli, including pH, heat, light, and degradation properties. Nano-sized assemblies derived from inorganic and polymeric NPs are combined in a functionalized composite form to import high strength and synergistically promising features not reflected in their part as a single constituent. These new properties of polymer/inorganic functionalized materials have led to emerging applications in a variety of fields, such as environmental remediation, drug delivery, and imaging. This review spotlights recent advances in the design and construction of polymer/inorganic functionalized materials with improved attributes compared to single inorganic and polymeric materials for environmental sustainability. Following an introduction, a comprehensive review of the design and potential applications of polymer/inorganic materials for removing organic pollutants and heavy metals from wastewater is presented. We have offered valuable suggestions for piloting, and scaling-up polymer functionalized nanomaterials using simple concepts. This review is wrapped up with a discussion of perspectives on future research in the field.

Abstract
In this work, novel hypercrosslinked polymer-based hollow microporous organic capsules with a polyaniline (PANI)-modified shell (PANI@S-HMOCs) are prepared by in-situ polymerization of aniline in the porous structure of the sulfonated hollow microporous organic capsules (S-HMOCs). PANI@S-HMOC1, PANI@S-HMOC2, and PANI@S-HMOC3 are made by adjusting S-HMOCs and aniline weight ratios of 4:1 and 3:1, and 2:1, respectively. The characterizations of PANI@S-HMOCs demonstrate that electrostatic interaction between aniline and sulfonic acid groups plays an important role in encapsulating PANI in the pores of the shell. The content of PANI showed an evident effect on the porosity of PANI@S-HMOCs, and an appropriate polyaniline loading amount may increase the surface area. PANI@S-HMOC1 and PANI@S-HMOC2 have higher BET surface areas (529 and 503 m2 g-1 ) than S-HMOCs (424 m2 g-1 ), but PANI@S-HMOC3 has lower BET surface area (380 m2 g-1 ). Based on the structural and textural features, PANI@S-HMOC2 shows good adsorption performance for Cr(VI) from aqueous media (156 mg g-1 , pH = 2, and 27 mg g-1 , pH = 7).
