A new type of hetero-grafted molecular bottlebrush with polypeptide as backbone was synthesized using graft-onto strategy. Poly(γ-propargyl-L-glutamate) (PPLG) as backbone was firstly synthesized via ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of γ-propargyl-L-glutamate (PLG) N-carboxyanhydride (NCA). Next, polystyrene-N3 (PS-N3) and monomethoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-N3 (mPEG-N3) as side chains were grafted onto the PPLG backbone using copper-catalyzed click reaction, which afforded good grafting density and efficiency. Two polypeptide bottlebrushes with PS-to-mPEG molar ratio at 70/30 and 30/70 were prepared. The self-assembly behaviors of these two polypeptide bottlebrushes were investigated using the cosolvent method, and their supramolecular structures were characterized using light scattering (LS) and electron microscopy.

Reported here is the first polyester-based bioactive nanoparticles accessed via ring-opening polymerization-induced self-assembly (ROPISA) of salicylic acid o-carboxyanhydride (SAOCA) monomers. Superfast ROPISA of SAOCA was completed in 30 seconds to form worm-like morphology.

Abstract:: Polysarcosine (psar) is a non-ionic hydrophilic polypeptoid with numerous biologically relevant properties. Polysarcosine is poly (n-methylated glycine) and has been reported first by wesley and co-workers in the 1920s. Polysarcosine was first synthesized via ring-opening polymerization (rop) of sarcosine n-carboxyanhydride, using high-vacuum techniques. Overall, findings highlight the potential of poly(sarcosine) as an alternative corona-forming polymer to poly (ethylene glycol)-based analogues of (polymerization-induced self-assembly) pisa assemblies for use in various pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. Numerous studies suggested that such polypeptoids hold enormous potential for many biomedical applications, including protein delivery, colloidal stabilization, and nanomedicine.
