Abstract
Peptide-based polymers are evolving as promising materials for various biomedical applications. Among peptide-based polymers, polytyrosine (PTyr)-based and l-tyrosine (Tyr)-derived polymers are unique, due to their excellent biocompatibility, degradability, and functional as well as engineering properties. To date, different polymerization techniques (ring-opening polymerization, enzymatic polymerization, condensation polymerization, solution-interfacial polymerization, and electropolymerization) have been used to synthesize various PTyr-based and Tyr-derived polymers. Even though the synthesis starts from Tyr, different synthesis routes yield different polymers (polypeptides, polyarylates, polyurethanes, polycarbonates, polyiminocarbonate, and polyphosphates) with unique functional characteristics, and these polymers have been successfully used for various biomedical applications in the past decades. This Review comprehensively describes the synthesis approaches, classification, and properties of various PTyr-based and Tyr-derived polymers employed in drug delivery, tissue engineering, and biosensing applications.

Abstract
Controlled polypeptide synthesis via α-amino acid N-carboxylic anhydride (NCA) polymerization using conventional primary amine initiators encounters two major obstacles: (i) normal amine mechanism (NAM) and activated monomer mechanism (AMM) coexist due to amine basicity and nucleophilicity and (ii) NCA is notoriously sensitive towards moisture and heat and unstable upon storage. We serendipitously discover that N-phenoxycarbonyl-functionalized α-amino acid (NPCA), a latent NCA precursor, could be polymerized solely based on NAM with high initiating efficiency by using primary amine hydrochloride as an initiator. The polymerization affords well-defined polypeptides with narrow polydispersity and high-fidelity terminal functionalities, as revealed by the clean set of MALDI-TOF MS patterns. We further demonstrate successful syntheses of random and block copolypeptides, even under open-vessel conditions. Overall, the integration of moisture-insensitive and air-tolerant NPCA precursors with stable primary amine hydrochloride initiators represents a general strategy for controlled synthesis of high-fidelity polypeptides with sophisticated functions.

Abstract
A series of diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) luminogen amphiphiles were newly designed and synthesized by a single-step anionic exchange reaction for controlling the photoluminescence properties in both solution and solid states. Multicolor emission in response to thermal, mechanical, and chemical stimuli was successfully demonstrated by engineering well-defined supramolecular assemblies. Phase transformation from the metastable amorphous solid to the stable orthorhombic crystal of [DP-Im][Br] provided the reversibly patternable light emission. Self-organization into the smectic crystalline phase of [DP-Im][TFSI] allowed us to show the linearly polarized light emission. By simultaneously applying [DP-Im][Br] and [DP-Im][TFSI], we demonstrated the fabrication of smart sensors for packaging of food or vaccines that can detect thermal attacks.

Abstract
Peptides and their synthetic analogs are a class of molecules with enormous relevance as therapeutics for their ability to interact with biomacromolecules like nucleic acids and proteins, potentially interfering with biological pathways often involved in the onset and progression of pathologies of high social impact. Nucleobase-bearing peptides (nucleopeptides) and pseudopeptides (PNAs) offer further interesting possibilities related to their nucleobase-decorated nature for diagnostic and therapeutic applications, thanks to their reported ability to target complementary DNA and RNA strands. In addition, these chimeric compounds are endowed with intriguing self-assembling properties, which are at the heart of their investigation as self-replicating materials in prebiotic chemistry, as well as their application as constituents of innovative drug delivery systems and, more generally, as novel nanomaterials to be employed in biomedicine. Herein we describe the properties of nucleopeptides, PNAs and related supramolecular systems, and summarize some of the most relevant applications of these systems.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the influence of methacryl-functionalized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (MA-POSS) nanoparticles as a plasticizer and thermal stabilizer for a poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) homopolymer and for a poly(vinyl chloride)/dissononyl cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylate (PVC/DINCH) binary blend system. The PVC and the PVC/DINCH blend both became flexible, with decreases in their glass transition temperatures and increases in their thermal decomposition temperatures, upon an increase in MA-POSS content, the result of hydrogen bonding between the C=O groups of MA-POSS and the H-CCl units of the PVC, as determined using infrared spectroscopy. Furthermore, the first thermal decomposition temperature of the pure PVC, due to the emission of HCl, increased from 290 to 306 °C, that is, the MA-POSS nanoparticles had a retarding effect on the decomposition of the PVC matrix. In tensile tests, all the PVC/DINCH/MA-POSS ternary blends were transparent and displayed flexibility, but their modulus and tensile strength both decreased, while their elongation properties increased, upon an increase in MA-POSS concentration, both before and after thermal annealing. In contrast, the elongation decreased, but the modulus and tensile strength increased, after thermal annealing at 100 °C for 7 days.

Abstract
In this study we prepared—through ring-opening polymerization of γ-benzyl-l-glutamate N-carboxyanhydride (BLG-NCA) initiated by N,N-di(4-aminophenyl)-1-aminopyrene (pyrene-DPA-2NH2)—poly(γ-benzyl-l-glutamate) (PBLG) polymers with various degrees of polymerization (DP), each featuring a di(4-aminophenyl)pyrenylamine (DPA) luminophore on the main backbone. The secondary structures of these pyrene-DPA-PBLG polypeptides were investigated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and wide-angle X-ray diffraction, revealing that the polypeptides with DPs of less than 19 were mixtures of α-helical and β-sheet conformations, whereas the α-helical structures were preferred for longer chains. Interestingly, pyrene-DPA-2NH2 exhibited weak photoluminescence (PL), yet the emission of the pyrene-DPA-PBLG polypeptides was 16-fold stronger, suggesting that attaching PBLG chains to pyrene-DPA-2NH2 turned on a radiative pathway for the non-fluorescent molecule. Furthermore, pyrene-DPA-2NH2 exhibited aggregation-caused quenching; in contrast, after incorporation into the PBLG segments with rigid-rod conformations, the resulting pyrene-DPA-PBLG polypeptides displayed aggregation-induced emission. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that mixing these polypeptides with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in DMF led to the formation of extremely dispersible pyrene-DPA-PBLG/MWCNT composites. The fabrication of MWCNT composites with such biocompatible polymers should lead to bio-inspired carbon nanostructures with useful biomedical applications. PBLG chains to pyrene-DPA-2NH2 turned on a radiative pathway for the non-fluorescent molecule and TEM revealed these polypeptides with carbon nanotube to form PBLG/MWCNT composite.![]()
