In recent decades, self-confinement effects arising from the folding of individual synthetic
polymer chains to single-chain nanoparticles (SCNPs) have been exploited for the …

Post-polymerisation modification of poly (glycidyl methacrylate)(PGMA) through the
nucleophilic ring opening reactions of the pendent epoxide groups allows for the installation …

The need for efficient, tailor-made catalysts has inspired chemists to fuse the design
principles of natural enzymes with synthetic macromolecular architectures. A highly …

We introduce a single‐chain nanoparticle (SCNP) system capable of catalyzing the
photooxidation of nonpolar alkenes up to three times more efficiently than an equivalent …

Single-chain nanoparticles (SCNP) are a class of polymeric nanoparticles obtained from the
intramolecular cross-linking of polymers bearing reactive pendant groups. The development …

Light as an external stimulus can be precisely manipulated in terms of irradiation time, site,
wavelength, and density. As such, photoresponsive drug/gene delivery systems have been …

Over the last 100 years polymer chemistry has flourished in all areas and enabled control
over synthetic polymer architectures–including chain lengths, dispersity and monomer …

In contrast to natural polymers, which have existed for billions of years, the first well-
understood synthetic polymers date back to just over one century ago. Nevertheless, this …

Recent developments in designing non-linear polymer topologies comprising cyclic and
branched segments are reviewed. Thus first, a systematic classification of non-linear …

Characterization of materials at the nanoscale plays a crucial role in in-depth understanding
the nature and processes of the substances. Mass spectrometry (MS) has characterization …
