Nanogels are three-dimensional nanoscale networks formed by physically or chemically
cross-linking polymers. Nanogels have been explored as drug delivery systems due to their …

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 …

Over the past decade, star polymers have been widely used in biomedical applications such
as drug delivery, gene delivery, tissue engineering, diagnosis, medical devices, and …

Polymer nanogels (NGs) are water-swellable, cross-linked 3D network structures with size
typically range from 1 to 1000 nm. Especially, biocompatible and “smart” NGs engineered …

Poly (oligoethylene glycol) methyl ether acrylate was polymerized via reversible addition
fragmentation transfer polymerization (RAFT), and then chain extended in the presence of …

A series of well-defined star-shaped polypeptides were successfully synthesised by the ring
opening polymerisation (ROP) of the N-carboxyanhydride (NCA) of ε-carbobenzyloxy-L …

Significant advances in the synthesis of polypeptides by N‐carboxyanhydride (NCA)
polymerisation over the last decade have enabled the design of advanced polypeptide …

Star-shaped block copolymers (SPs), consisting of a hydrophobic core and hydrophilic arms,
are a new material architecture introduced to the area of antifouling coatings for water …

Well-defined star polypeptides were successfully synthesised by initiation of γ-benzyl-L-
glutamate N-carboxyanhydride (NCA) from polypropylene imine (PPI) dendrimers. The …
