Abstract Poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG) as gold standard has been extensively conjugated to
diagnostic and therapeutic agents or decorated on the surface of nanoplatforms, which is …

In most general terms, polymers and their supramolecular assemblies have been defining
life on this planet since its conception. Polymers of nucleic acids carry the code of life and …

Although the first polysarcosine (pSar) synthesis by Wesseley et al. was reported almost a
century ago, it was only recently that pSar gained broader attention and is considered a …

Polymer sequence programmability is required for the diverse structures and complex
properties that are achieved by native biological polymers, but efforts towards controlling the …

The performance of many therapeutic proteins, including human interferon-α2b (IFN), is
often impeded by their intrinsic instability to protease, poor pharmacokinetics, and strong …

Polypeptoids, a class of peptidomimetic polymers, have emerged at the forefront of
macromolecular and supramolecular science and engineering as the technological …

Polypeptoids have been of great interest in the polymer science community since the early
half of the last century; however, they had been basically forgotten materials until the last …

Polysarcosine (PSar), a water-soluble polypeptoid, is gifted with biodegradability via the
random ring-opening copolymerization of sarcosine-and alanine-N-thiocarboxyanhydrides …

N-substituted glycine N-thiocarboxyanhydrides (NTAs) are alternative monomers to prepare
polypeptoids with large-scale producing potential compared to the corresponding N …

Gold nanorods (AuNRs) are suitable candidates for photothermal therapy in vivo, because
of their excellent ability to transfer near-infrared (NIR) light into heat. However, appropriate …
