We report the synthesis of cationic cobaltocenium and neutral ferrocene containing homopolymers mediated by photoinduced reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization with a photocatalyst fac-[Ir(ppy)]. The homopolymers were further used as macromolecular chain transfer agents to synthesize diblock copolymers via chain extension. Controlled/"living" feature of photoinduced RAFT polymerization was confirmed by kinetic studies even without prior deoxygenation. A light switch between ON and OFF provided a spatiotemporal control of polymerization.

In order to enrich the selection of biological ligands, realize the miniaturization analysis, and broaden the application of monolith materials for active ingredients screening and separating, we sough to construct a lipid raft @capillary monolith microcolumn affinity chromatography model. Single factor experiments and various characterization methods, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermogravimetric analysis, were employed to investigate the polymerization of the monolith column under different material ratios to determine optimal preparation conditions. Subsequently, the lipid raft from U251 cells was integrated with the monolith materials based on epoxy-based covalent crosslinking principle and characterized through SEM and immunofluorescence methods.

Photoiniferter (PI) is a promising polymerization methodology, often used to overcome restrictions posed by thermal reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerization. However, in the overwhelming majority of reports, high energy UV irradiation is required to effectively trigger photolysis of RAFT agents and facilitate the polymerization, significantly limiting its potential, scope, and applicability. Although visible light PI has emerged as a highly attractive alternative, most current approaches are limited to the synthesis of lower molecular weight polymers, and typically suffer from prolonged reaction times, extended induction periods, and higher dispersities.

Two-dimensional (2D) polymer network monolayers with novel block architectures were fabricated via sequential copolymerization within a pillared-layer metal-organic framework (MOF) that served as the reaction template. The MOF provides a confined 2D nanospace, restricting the crosslinking copolymerization of vinyl monomers to two dimensions. Sequential crosslinking copolymerization of methyl methacrylate and styrene, regulated by the reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) process, resulted in the formation of 2D block architectures with 'patchy' domains consisting of crosslinked poly(methyl methacrylate) and polystyrene segments.

The individualized administration and pharmacokinetics profiling are integral to the safe use of antibody drugs in immunotherapy. Here, we propose an electrochemical platform for the highly sensitive and selective detection of antibody drugs, taking advantage of the affinity capture by the peptide mimotopes together with the signal amplification by the biologically-driven RAFT polymerization (BDRP). Briefly, the BDRP-based platform involves the capture of antibody drugs by peptide mimotopes, the labeling of multiple reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) agents to the glycan chains of antibody drugs, and the BDRP-enabled controlled recruitment of numerous redox labels.
