Summary: In this study, a visible light-induced polymerization system was introduced, and silicon quantum dots were used as an eco-friendly catalyst for efficient control over the polymerization process. The adsorption of SiQDs onto the surface of silica nanoparticles allowed for convenient catalyst recycling. Additionally, controlled growth of the polymer shell was achieved by introducing specific compounds onto the silica surface.

Summary: Stochastic simulation of the formation process of hyperbranched polymers (HBPs) using a branch-inducing monomer, evolmer, revealed that the observed dispersities (Ds) were due to the distribution of the number of branches instead of undesired side reactions. The simulation also showed that the branch structures were well controlled and the majority of HBPs had structures close to the ideal one. Furthermore, the simulation suggested a slight dependence of branch density on molecular weight, which was experimentally confirmed.

Summary: This study presents a simple photo-controlled iodine transfer polymerization system using methacrylate monomers, solvent, and initiator under violet and sunlight irradiation with good control over the polymerization process. The system does not require additional photocatalysts or iodide salts and provides tight control over activation and deactivation. The polymerization system under sunlight extends to several methacrylate monomers in a well-controlled manner.

Summary: This review focuses on the synthesis of polymer-functionalized CNT via both the grafting from and grafting through methods based on FRP and CRP routes, commonly known as in situ polymerizations. The challenges and applications of the in situ polymer grafting methods are discussed, providing potential insights for future research.

Summary: The combination of RAFT polymerization and PISA can produce monodisperse nanolatexes. This study demonstrates the synthesis of reproducible bimodal nanolatexes by extending protonated PDMAEMA with MMA in water and provides the first imaging data. The bimodality is induced by the hydrophilic Z-group of the RAFT agent, which has been reported to cause bimodal molecular weight distributions in RAFT-mediated PISA. The advantages of such nanolatexes in coating applications are briefly explored, including their one-pot synthesis, higher contact angle against water when adsorbed on cellulose filter paper, and morphological arrangement dependent on the drying protocol.

Summary: Chirality plays a significant role in the field of supramolecular polymers, providing insights into the dynamic assembly process and enabling the development of chiroptical materials. This study demonstrates that the organization mode of comonomers in supramolecular donor-acceptor copolymers can be influenced by stereocommunication at the molecular level. The manipulation of stereogenic centers in the comonomer structures has a significant impact on the characteristics of supramolecular copolymers, which holds potential for chiral sensing, recognition, and optoelectronic applications.

Summary: In this study, we report the synthesis, characterization, and radical ring-opening polymerization (rROP) capabilities of thionoisochromanone (TIC), a fungi-derivable thionolactone. TIC is the first reported six-membered thionolactone that undergoes homopolymerization under free radical conditions without the need for a dormant comonomer or repeated initiation. The resulting polymer is fully degradable under mild, basic conditions.

Summary: The authors have developed a novel decolorable, metal-free and visible light-controlled living cationic polymerization system. This system exhibits predictable molar mass, low dispersity and sequential polymerization capability, and shows the longest off period of 36 hours. Furthermore, the residual photocatalyst can be easily deactivated and decolored.

Summary: Glassy carbon electrodes modified by a bilayer of phospholipids have been used to study the permeation of redox probes and ferrocene-labelled peptides across lipid membranes. Anionic phospholipids show strong electrostatic interaction with positively charged species, while neutral phospholipids exhibit strong association with neutral probes. Electrocatalytic performance of the electrodes can be affected by the interaction between the phospholipids and charged species.

Summary: The characterization of release events from liposomes has been quantitatively addressed using an electro-chemiluminescence (ECL) imaging strategy. By combining amperometry, epifluorescence imaging, and ECL imaging, the opening of liposomes and the subsequent release of their content can be monitored and imaged. This approach offers advantages over traditional techniques and is suitable for studying membrane rupture/permeation events.
