In this review, we provide an analysis of some of the recent literature reports on the
synthesis and applications of pH-responsive polymers. Depending on the solution pH, such …

The discovery of the first “living” radical polymerization by Otsu and co-workers (1) in 1982
heralded the start of a very exciting time for polymer chemists. Since then, a plethora of living …

In this Perspective, we discuss the recent development of polymerization-induced self-
assembly mediated by reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) aqueous …

It is well-known that surfactants are molecules able to modify the surface properties of the
liquid in which they are introduced (usually water). The simultaneous presence of both …

Nanotechnology has finally and firmly entered the realm of drug delivery. Performances of
intelligent drug delivery systems are continuously improved with the purpose to maximize …

Homopolymers of sodium 4-styrenesulfonate have been synthesized directly in aqueous
media by reversible addition− fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT). The …

In recent years, the synthesis and analysis of novel copolymer-based nanomaterials in
solution have been extensively pursued. The interest in such structures lies in the fact that …

Reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) radical polymerization has, since
its discovery by CSIRO, evolved into an extremely powerful synthetic tool for polymer …

Polymeric vesicles, or polymersomes, are nano-to micrometre sized polymeric capsules with
a bilayered membrane. Applications of these vesicles are foreseen in nanomedicine, in vivo …

Stimuli‐responsive materials are of immense importance because of their ability to undergo
alteration of their properties in response to their environment. The properties of such …
