Polymer networks, which are materials composed of many smaller components—referred to
as “junctions” and “strands”—connected together via covalent or non‐covalent …

Topology plays a critical role in dictating the properties of many materials. In recent years,
with advances in synthetic and characterization techniques, substantial efforts have been …

The injectable hydrogel with desirable biocompatibility and tunable properties can improve
the efficacy of stem cell-based therapy. However, the development of injectable hydrogel …

The construction of complex polymer architectures with well-defined topology, composition
and functionality has been extensively explored as the molecular basis for the development …

The catechol plays a variety of important roles in biological processes, prompting
researchers to include them in the design of biomimetic biomedical materials. The low …

Water-soluble, nano-sized crosslinked polymer networks, or nanogels, are delivery vehicles,
which have highly interesting properties for therapeutic delivery and imaging. Nanogels may …

As a relatively new class of materials, single-chain polymer nanoparticles (SCNPs) just
entered the field of (biomedical) applications, with recent advances in polymer science …

While synthetic polymers have found widespread application in personal and consumer
care, and agrochemical and biomedical applications, there remains a constant drive to …

We exploited the monomer-feeding mechanism of reversible addition–fragmentation chain
transfer (RAFT) emulsion polymerization to achieve the successful polymerization-induced …

Folded single chain polymeric nano-objects are the molecular level soft material with ultra-
small size. Here, we report an easy and scalable method for preparing single-chain …
