This study investigated the application of poly[bis (ethylmethionato) phosphazene] (PαAPz-M) electrospun fibers in tissue engineering, focusing on their reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging capabilities and material-directed cell behavior, including the influence of their degradation products on cell viability and differentiation, and the scaffold topography's influence on cell alignment. The ROS scavenging ability of PαAPz-M was assessed by DPPH assay, and then PαAPz-M's protection against exogenous ROS was studied. The results showed enhanced cell viability on PαAPz-M fiber mats under oxidative stress conditions.

The quest for polymers that would be at the same time bio-based and degradable after usage, in addition to offering chemical post-modification options, remains a daunting challenge in contemporary polymer science. Despite advances in polymer chemistry, attempts at controlling the chain-growth polymerization of muconate esters remain unexplored. Here we show that dialkyl muconates can be rapidly polymerized by organocatalyzed group transfer polymerization (O-GTP).

Zwitterionic polymers, ampholytic macromolecules containing ionic moieties of opposite sign on the same pendant groups, exhibit strong protein-repulsive properties and an inherent biological inertness. For that reason, these highly hydrated inner salt macromolecules have emerged as some of the most viable alternatives to poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), a gold standard in enabling stealth behavior in life science applications. However, the structural diversity of polymer zwitterions remains limited, and currently available macromolecules do not possess an intrinsic ability to undergo hydrolytical degradation, an important prerequisite for use in drug delivery applications.

Ultraviolet (UV) filters are the core ingredients in sunscreens and protect against UV-induced skin damage. Nevertheless, their safety and effectiveness have been questioned in terms of their poor photostability, skin penetration, and UV-induced generation of deleterious reactive oxygen species (ROS). Herein, an organic UV filter self-framed microparticle sunblock was exploited, in which quercetin (QC) and hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene (HCCP) were self-constructed into microparticles (HCCP-QC MPs) by facile precipitation polymerization without any carriers.

Bottlebrush polymers (BBPs) have gained wide attention for their special characters, such as rigid main/side chains, stemming from the exceedingly high graft density. This study aims to provide a simple synthetic approach to BBPs with polyester side chains by merging ring-opening alternating copolymerization (ROAP) and ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). A simple phosphazene base (BuP) is employed for the ROAP of phthalic anhydride and epoxide, after which Grubbs third-generation catalyst (G3) is added to switch on ROMP of the macromonomer, i.
