Summary: Monodisperse, micrometer-sized liquid crystalline shells are prepared using seeded dispersion polymerization, allowing for programmable alignment and shape control. Different alignment of liquid crystal in the polymer shells is achieved by using different polymer seeds, resulting in various shapes of LC polymer shells after seed removal. The collapse of the shells at defect points is observed, indicating the versatility of the method in preparing biconcave LC polymer shells.

Summary: Polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) has demonstrated its versatility in producing block copolymer nanoparticles with tunable sizes and morphologies on a large scale over the past decade, but there are still limitations. Recently, seeded PISA, which combines PISA with heterogeneous seeded polymerizations, has been extensively explored to overcome these limitations. This review highlights the recent advances in seeded PISA, including general considerations, morphological evolution, and the production of well-defined nanoparticles with hierarchical and sophisticated morphologies. Finally, new insights and future perspectives on seeded PISA are provided.

Summary: The study focused on the synthesis of amidoxime modified porous organic polymer flower-like structure (POP-AOF) adsorbent for efficient uranium(VI) removal from seawater and simulated solutions. POP-AOF showed great potential in energy and environmental applications due to its high functionality, high selectivity, and multistep kinetics controlled by secondary building units. Coordination with uranium(VI) in seawater was achieved through amidoxime groups acting as bidentate ligands, indicating the promise of acrylonitrile and amidoxime chemistry in developing new adsorbents for uranium(VI) removal.
