The homogeneous non-catalytic hydrogenation of several types of iso- and syndiotactic -1,4 poly(1,3-diene)s with diimide, formed by thermal decomposition of -toluene-sulfonyl-hydrazide, was examined. Perfectly alternating ethylene/1-alkene copolymers having different tacticity (i.e., isotactic and syndiotactic), which in some cases are difficult to synthesize by simple stereospecific co-polymerization of the corresponding monomers, were obtained. All the copolymers synthesized were fully characterized from a structural, morphological, and rheological point of view through different analytical techniques (FT-IR, NMR, GPC, DSC, RX).

Functionalization of polymer nanoparticles (NPs) with targeting peptides is of interest for drug delivery applications to enhance tumor accumulation and penetration. Herein, we evaluated the feasibility of two different methods for the attachment of a tumor-penetrating peptide LinTT1 (AKRGARSTA) to poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL-PEG) NPs: (1) "post-conjugation" onto pre-formed nanoparticles, and (2) "pre-conjugation", the synthesis and purification of peptide-polymer conjugates and subsequent nanoprecipitation of the conjugates diluted with non-functionalized polymers. Conjugation of the labelled peptide via maleimide-thiol chemistry was verified by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and fluorescence measurements.

Spermatogenesis is one of the most complex processes of cell differentiation and its failure is a major cause of male infertility. Therefore, a proper model that recapitulates spermatogenesis in vitro has been long sought out for basic and clinical research. Testis organ culture using the gas-liquid interphase method has been shown to support spermatogenesis in mice and rats.

Size exclusion chromatography-gradient (SEC-Gradient) is a powerful technique to separate polymers by their chemical composition. The stationary phase is first conditioned with a gradient from adsorli to desorli, and polymer samples are injected after the gradient in SEC conditions. Since its first description in 2011 by Schollenberger and Radke, it has never been applied to block copolymers.

We present a strategy for enhancing Li conduction in block copolymer electrolytes by introducing trace amounts of Li salts into polystyrene--poly(ethylene oxide) (PS--PEO), wherein Li ions preferentially coordinate with the -OH end groups of the PEO chains, resulting in the formation of double primitive cubic (3̅) structures. Compared with TFSI anions in Li salts, smaller anions (PF and BF) could facilitate ion localization more effectively, expanding the salt concentration range for developing stable 3̅ structures. The 3̅ structures formed in PS--PEOs doped with LiBF at = 0.

Polymer nanoparticles with low curvature, especially two-dimensional (2D) soft materials, are rich in functions and outstanding properties and have received extensive attention. Crystallization-driven self-assembly (CDSA) of linear semicrystalline block copolymers is currently a common method of constructing 2D platelets of uniform size. Although accompanied by high controllability, this CDSA method usually and inevitably requires a longer aging time and lower assembly concentration, limiting the large-scale preparation of nanoaggregates.
