Abstract
Fluorinated polymeric nanoparticles (FPNPs) combine unique properties of fluorocarbon and polymeric nanoparticles, which has stimulated massive interest for decades. However, fluoropolymers are not readily available from nature, resulting in synthetic developments to obtain FPNPs via free radical polymerizations. Recently, while increasing cutting-edge directions demand tailored FPNPs, such materials have been difficult to access via conventional approaches. Reversible-deactivation radical polymerizations (RDRPs) are powerful methods to afford well-defined polymers. Researchers have applied RDRPs to the fabrication of FPNPs, enabling the construction of particles with improved complexity in terms of structure, composition, morphology, and functionality. Related examples can be classified into three categories. First, well-defined fluoropolymers synthesized via RDRPs have been utilized as precursors to form FPNPs through self-folding and solution self-assembly. Second, thermally and photoinitiated RDRPs have been explored to realize in situ preparations of FPNPs with varied morphologies via polymerization-induced self-assembly and cross-linking copolymerization. Third, grafting from inorganic nanoparticles has been investigated based on RDRPs. Importantly, those advancements have promoted studies toward promising applications, including magnetic resonance imaging, biomedical delivery, energy storage, adsorption of perfluorinated alkyl substances, photosensitizers, and so on. This Review should present useful knowledge to researchers in polymer science and nanomaterials and inspire innovative ideas for the synthesis and applications of FPNPs.

Abstract
Polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) represents a powerful technique for the preparation of nanostructures comprising various morphologies. Herein, we demonstrate that the recently introduced monomer N-acryloylthiomorpholine (NAT) features a unique self-assembly behaviour during an aqueous PISA. The one-pot, aqueous RAFT dispersion polymerization starting from short poly(N-acryloylmorpholine) (PNAM) enables access to all common solution morphologies including spheres, worms, vesicles and lamellae, at very low molar masses (< 8 kDa). Moreover, all these structures can be obtained for the same polymer composition and size by the variation of the polymerization temperature and concentration of the monomer. This exceptional self-assembly behavior is associated with the combination of a high glass transition temperature, excellent water solubility of the monomer, and the early onset of aggregation during the polymerization, which stabilizes the morphology at different stages. This PISA system opens up new opportunities to reproducibly create versatile, functional nanostructures and enables an independent evaluation of morphology-property relationships, as it is exemplarily shown for the oxidative degradation of spherical and wormlike micelles, as well as vesicles.

Abstract
Introduction: The development of more efficacious vaccines, especially subunit vaccines administered via non-invasive routes, is a priority in vaccinology. Nanogels are materials that can meet the requirements to serve as efficient vaccine delivery vehicles (in terms of thermo-sensitivity, biocompatibility, and pH-responsiveness; among others); thus there is a growing interest in exploring the potential of nanogels for vaccine development. Areas covered: Herein, a critical analysis of nanogel synthesis methodologies is presented and nanogel-based vaccines under development are summarized and placed in perspective. Promising vaccine candidates based on nanogels have been reported for cancer, obesity, and infectious diseases (mainly respiratory diseases). Some of the candidates were administered by mucosal routes which are highly attractive in terms of simple administration and induction of protective responses at both mucosal and systemic levels. Expert opinion: The most advanced models of nanogel-based vaccines comprise candidates against cancer, based on cholesteryl pullulan nanogels evaluated in clinical trials with promising findings; as well as some vaccines against respiratory pathogens tested in mice thus far. Nonetheless, the challenge for this field is advancing in clinical trials and proving the protective potential in test animals for many other candidates. Implementing green synthesis approaches for nanogels is also required.

Abstract
We present a novel electrochemical biosensing platform for the detection of neurotransmitter glutamate using templated polymer-based target receptors. Our sensing approach demonstrates, for the first time, a non-enzymatic approach without the need of glutamate oxidase, leading to a more specific and rapid response. The proposed detection principle is based on the following two claims: (1) our templated polymer-based receptor results in specific molecular recognition of the target glutamate and, (2) upon target binding, the polymer undergoes a conformation change which can then be measured via electrochemical techniques. This sensing platform has the potential to provide direct monitoring of a variety of non-electroactive species and to eliminate the incorporation of enzymes thereby providing a simpler and more robust alternative to enzyme-based sensors.

Abstract
Polyisoprene-silica (PIP-co-RAFT-SiO₂) nanoparticles were prepared via reversible addition⁻fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization using water-soluble initiators, 4,4'-Azobis (4-cyanopentanoic acid) (ACP) and 2,2'-Azobis (2-methylpropionamidine) dihydrochloride (V50). The particle size of emulsion prepared using ACP initiator was smaller than that using V50 initiator because the V50 initiator was more active toward decomposition than the ACP initiator. A high monomer conversion (84%), grafting efficiency (83%) and small particle size (38 nm) with narrow size distribution were achieved at optimum condition. The PIP-co-RAFT-SiO₂ nanoparticles exhibited core⁻shell morphology with silica encapsulated with polyisoprene (PIP). The new PIP-SiO₂ nanoparticles could be applied as effective filler in rubber composites that possess good mechanical and thermal properties.

Abstract
Cationic vectors are ideal candidates for gene delivery thanks to their capability to carry large gene inserts and their scalable production. However, their cationic density gives rise to high cytotoxicity. We present the proper designed core-shell polyplexes made of either poly(ethylene imine) (PEI) or poly(2-dimethylamino ethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) as the core and zwitterionic poly(acrylic acid)-block-poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) (PAA-b-PSBMA) diblock copolymer as the shell. Gel retardation and ethidium bromide displacement assays were used to determine the PEI/DNA or PDMAEMA/DNA complexation. At neutral pH, the copolymer serves as a protective shell of the complex. As PSBMA is a nonfouling block, the shell reduced the cytotoxicity and enhanced the hemocompatibility (lower hemolysis activity, longer plasma clotting time) of the gene carriers. PAA segments in the copolymer impart pH sensitivity by allowing deshielding of the core in acidic solution. Therefore, the transfection efficiency of polyplexes at pH 6.5 was better than at pH 7.0, from β-galactosidase assay, and for all PAA-b-PSBMA tested. These results were supported by more favorable physicochemical properties in acidic solution (zeta potential, particle size, and interactions between the polymer and DNA). Thus, the results of this study offer a potential route to the development of efficient and nontoxic pH-sensitive gene carriers.
