Summary: A novel kind of dendronized porphyrin polymers was synthesized by Sonogashira coupling of diethynyl‐functionalized porphyrin monomers and diiodo‐functionalized macromonomers bearing Fréchet‐type dendrons. The encapsulation of red‐light‐emitting porphyrin‐containing conjugated backbones into dendronized polymers can not only reduce the aggregation of polymer backbones and the self‐quenching of their fluorescence but also endow the porphyrin polymers with good solubility. We also report the optical and electrochemical properties of the porphyrin‐containing dendronized polymers.

A close correllation between molecular‐level interactions and macroscopic characteristics of polymer networks exists. The characteristics of the polymeric hydrogels assembled from β‐cyclodextrin (β‐CD) and adamantyl (AD) substituted poly(acrylate)s can be tailored through selective host–guest complexation between β‐CD and AD substituents and their tethers. Dominantly, steric effects and competitive intra‐ and intermolecular host–guest complexation are found to control poly(acrylate) isomeric inter‐strand linkage in polymer network formation. This understanding of the factors involved in polymeric hydrogel formation points the way towards the construction of increasingly sophisticated biocompatible materials.

Strong electrolyte temperature‐sensitive hydrogels were synthesized by radiation polymerization using N‐isopropylacrylamide and sodium 2‐acrylamido‐2‐methylpropanesulfonate. The influence of irradiation dose and mole ratio of the monomers was examined by swelling measurements in aqueous solution and organic solvents. The hydrogels without any pollution were applied in concentrating protein.

Summary: Fabrication of honeycomb‐patterned films from amphiphilic dendronized block copolymer (PEO113‐b‐PDMA82) by ‘on‐solid surface spreading’ and ‘on‐water spreading’ method is reported. Highly ordered honeycomb films with quasi‐horizontally paralleled double‐layered structure can be fabricated by the on‐solid surface spreading method. This work raises the possibility that such structures can be formed in amphiphilic dendronized block copolymers and extends the family of source materials.

Summary: An enzymatic one‐pot procedure has been developed for the synthesis of difunctional polyesters containing terminal thiols and acrylates. Candida antarctica lipase B was used as a catalyst for the ring‐opening polymerization of ω‐pentadecalactone. The polymerization was initiated with 6‐mercaptohexanol, then terminated with γ‐thiobutyrolactone or vinyl acrylate to create two types of difunctional polyesters with a very high content of thiol‐thiol or thiol‐acrylate end‐groups.

Summary: Pulsed‐IR laser‐induced decomposition of poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAC) differs remarkably from its conventional pyrolysis, which results in the formation of acetic acid and non‐polar carbonaceous residue. In contrast, the products in the former case are (i) vinyl acetate (low energy channel), (ii) products of cleavage in the acetate group, and (iii) an ablatively deposited polar polymeric film containing roughly half of the acetoxy groups initially present.

This review covers the literature concerning the modification of polysaccharides through controlled radical polymerizations (NMP, ATRP and RAFT). The different routes to well‐defined polysaccharide‐based macromolecules (block and graft copolymers) and graft‐functionalized polysaccharide surfaces as well as the applications of these polysaccharide‐based hybrids are extensively discussed.

The first ( PG1 ) and second ( PG2 ) generation dendronized polymethacrylates with L ‐lysine based dendrons have been synthesized, and their conformation has been investigated. The chiral dendrons can be synthesized efficiently on a multi‐gram scale from L ‐lysine by a solution peptide coupling method, and the over‐all yields for the first ( MG1 ) and second ( MG2 ) generation macromonomers are 77 and 75%, respectively. High molar masses (1 to 2 million) of PG1 and PG2 are achieved by conventional radical polymerization of the corresponding macromonomers. Characterization with optical rotation, circular dichroism, and UV measurements showed that, in contrast to PG1 , PG2 adopts a single‐handed helical conformation in solution, which is stable in different polar solvents and also over a broad temperature range. Interestingly, the stable helical conformation remained in aqueous solution after deprotection of the terminal amines, by which the mass and steric hindrance of the dendrons reduced significantly.

Polymer translocation through a narrow pore is investigated using a particle‐based dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) method. A rigid core is included in each particle to avoid particle interpenetration problems based on the original DPD method. Electrostatic interactions of charged particles are simply represented via screened Coulombic interactions. The average translocation time τ versus polymer length N satisfies the scaling law τ ∼ Nβ. The scaling exponent β depends on solvent quality. The results demonstrate that solvent quality exerts a considerable influence on the dynamics of translocation of polymers. The findings may help facilitate understanding of the dynamic behaviors of various polymer and DNA molecules during translocation processes.

Summary: A novel non‐aqueous emulsion system, consisting of cyclohexane as the continuous and acetonitrile as the dispersed phase, is described. Stabilization of the system can be achieved by using polyisoprene‐block‐poly(methyl methacrylate) copolymers as emulsifiers. The suitability of this system for performing water‐sensitive, catalytic, and oxidative polymerizations and polycondensations is demonstrated by the synthesis of poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene), poly(thiophene‐3‐yl‐acetic acid), and polyacetylene. In all cases spherical nanoparticles with diameters as small as 23 nm can be obtained.

The ability to control the dispersion of carbon nanotubes in polymers is key to most applications of nanotube‐polymer composites. This feature article describes recent advances in methods used to disperse carbon nanotubes and considers how these methods affect dispersion on different length scales. It is becoming increasing clear that perfect dispersion is not desired for many applications, in particular for electrical conductivity, and controlling the dispersion is key for proper function of the composite in its intended application.

Highly functional and monodisperse macromolecules with tailored architecture constitute the key to designing efficient and smart nanomaterials. Dendrimers offer real potential to achieve this goal, and one of the earlier challenges faced by this novel class of polymers has been addressed by the evolution of synthetic methodologies. This review provides an evaluation of the role played by chemistry in taking these macromolecules of academic relevance to practical industrial and biological applications, in a relatively short period. One can now construct dendrimers in a ‘made‐to‐order’ fashion, for numerous applications in a variety of disciplines.

Twin polymerization is a novel technique for synthesizing hybrid polymers with domain sizes in the nanometer range. While a broad variety of monomers have been investigated, the mechanistic details and the most important influences on the nanostructure formation are unknown. A scale bridging approach is presented to simulate the twin polymerization of 2,2'‐spirobi[4H‐1,3,2‐benzodioxasiline]. This approach is based on detailed quantum chemical calculations that yield insight into reactivity and structure at the molecular level while the kinetics of the network formation process and the influences that govern structure formation are investigated at the mesoscopic level by a coarse‐grained simulation.

Selectively dendronized cellulose at C‐6 was synthesized homogeneously (in DMSO) and heterogeneously (in methanol) by the conversion of 6‐azido‐6‐deoxy cellulose (degree of substitution, DS 0.75) with polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrons possessing an ethynyl focal moiety via the copper‐catalyzed Huisgen reaction (click reaction) under mild conditions. First to third generation of PAMAM‐triazolo cellulose derivatives with DS values of up to 0.69 could be prepared, which are soluble in organic solvents (DMSO, DMF) and in water. The novel biopolymer derivatives were characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR, and NMR spectroscopic methods, showing no impurities and no conversion at the secondary positions.

A novel fluorescent nanoparticle with reversible on‐off switching properties has been synthesized. Three different wavelengths of light are used for switching‐on light, switching‐off light and excitation light, respectively. Thus, when this particle is used as a fluorescent probe by irradiation of the excitation light, the on‐off status can be maintained. We also showed that the on‐off status of the fluorescent particle even embedded in hydrogels can be remotely controlled by using two different wavelengths of light. These results promise that this kind of fluorescent particles will introduce a new concept and it will possibly be applied as a novel fluorescent probe, a photo memory, and a switching devise for photonics.

Two kinds of cyclodextrin/peptide (CD/peptide) hybrids bearing ZnII‐cyclen or cyclen, dansyl and β‐cyclodextrin (β‐CD) units have been synthesized as chemosensors for organic anionic molecules. ZnII‐cyclen serves as a ligand site and β‐CD is a receptor site for guest molecules, while the dansyl unit acts as a fluorescent probe. Examination of the fluorescence behaviors of these CD/peptides suggest that the hybrid containing Zn2+ has larger binding constants with respect to anionic molecules than that without Zn2+.

A series of well‐defined rod‐coil PAA‐b‐DPS block copolymers, containing Fréchet‐type dendronized polystyrene (DPS) with different generation as a rod‐like hydrophobic block and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) as a hydrophilic coil were synthesized. The procedure included the following steps: the precursor PMA‐b‐DPS copolymer was prepared through ATRP of Fréchet‐type dendritic styrene macromonomer bearing the first to the third generation (G1–G3), respectively, initiated by poly(methyl acrylate) (PMA‐Br). Then, by converting PMA into PAA by subsequent hydrolysis, the targeted amphiphilic copolymers were obtained. Moreover, by using the rod‐coil amphiphiles as building blocks, large compound micelles and vesicles were formed in a binary solvent mixture of DMF/H2O. Morphological changes in self‐assembly showed dependence on the length of the dendronized block.

The B‐ala/AIBN PBZ system has a high extent of ring‐opening of oxazine because phenol‐containing oligomers are formed at the early stage of the curing process. As a result, the B‐ala/AIBN PBZ system possesses a relatively stronger intramolecular hydrogen bonding and lower surface energy than the pure B‐ala system at low temperature curing. In this context, poly(4‐vinyl pyridine), poly(4‐vinyl phenol) thin films and polycarbonate substrates, which lack liquid resistance, possess low surface free energy after modification with B‐ala/AIBN = 5/1 PBZ.

PS grafted silica nanoparticles have been prepared by a tandem process that simultaneously employs RAFT polymerization and click chemistry. In a single pot procedure, azide‐modified silica, an alkyne functionalized RAFT agent and styrene are combined to produce the desired product. As deduced by thermal gravimetric and elemental analysis, the grafting density of PS on the silica in the tandem process is intermediate between analogous “grafting to” and “grafting from” techniques for preparing PS brushes on silica. Relative rates of RAFT polymerization and click reaction can be altered to control grafting density.

Layer‐by‐layer (LBL) films consisting of layers of the azo dye Sunset Yellow alternated with chitosan display spontaneous birefringence, which is attributed to the film anisotropy imparted by the LBL method. This is unusual for azobenzene‐containing materials as they normally form films with randomly oriented molecules, presenting birefringence only due to photoinduced isomerization cycles. Spontaneous birefringence does not appear in cast films, but occurs for LBL films obtained under various experimental conditions.
