The ultra pH-sensitive polymeric mixed micelles based on poly(L-histidine) chemistry and constructed from block copolymers containing polyHis, present four functionalities as decreasing pH: ligand exposure at pH 7.0, micelle destabilization below pH 6.8, enhanced DOX release and endosomal membrane disruption. The first functionality is expected to endow tumor pH specificity to nonspecific ligands and the rest ones may help to treat solid tumors that are hard-to-treat by conventional chemotherapy (resistant tumors). The concept was proven in vitro studies and in vivo model.

Polymer architectures containing metal-ligands in their side chain represent a diverse approach to generating multi-functional materials. The ability to define a versatile synthetic platform will enable many chemistries and architectures to be studied. This report describes our latest efforts to prepare these unique polymers; random and block copolymers have been successfully prepared. Subsequent functionalization with metal ions leads to a variety of properties including metal induced gelation, solvochromic and metal ion sensors, and unique hierarchical self-assembled structures.

Polyalkylene phosphates - polymers that are built on the repeating unit of the diester of phosphoric acid: -[OP(O)(OH)Oalkylene]-, are known to form backbones of nucleic and teichoic acids. Various synthetic ways will be reported for the synthesis of the bare chains, where "alkylene" in the formula above means mostly two or three methylene groups. Some other structures have also been prepared. Several applications of these polymers are to be discussed, namely as liquid membranes, as components of two-block copolymers (ionic-nonionic diblock dihydrophilic) used as modifiers of CaCO3 crystallization, and as components of the inorganic-polymer hybrid materials. Some other applications in the biomedical field will also be discussed.

Alkoxyamine and thiocarbonyl thio end capped polyethylene (PE) chains were synthesized using a direct and simple approach consisting in reacting di(polyethylenyl)magnesium (PE-Mg-PE) chains with a range of nitroxides and disulfides of thiocarbonyl thio compounds. PE-Mg-PE compounds were prepared by a catalyzed chain growth reaction of ethylene on nbutyloctylmagnesium (BOMg) with a neodymocene complex $(C_{5}Me_{5})_{2}NdCl_{2}Li(OEt_{2})_{2}$. Complete characterizations confirm the introduction of the desired end groups. The controlled radical polymerization (NMP and RAFT) of butyl acrylate mediated by these functional polyethylenes was successful.

Mesogen-Jacketed Liquid Crystalline Polymers, MJLCPs, are polymers with mesogenic side groups directly attached to main-chains without using flexible connecting spacers and are able to form liquid crystalline structures. Later work on structure-property of the polymers revealed that the side groups are not necessarily mesogenic for the polymers to form a mesophase so long as that the side groups are directly attached to the backbones and the side groups are large enough. Because of its inherent chain stiffness and that the monomers of MJLCPs are readily polymerizable by "living" free radical polymerizations, MJLCP offered a unique handy tool for making block copolymers. In addition, MJLCP offered also new opportunities for novel functional materials.

Styrene-Butadiene diblock or styrene-butadiene-styrene triblock copolymers are industrially important materials for asphalt modification and adhesives. A kinetic modeling study on non-isothermal anionic styrene-butadiene diblock copolymerization system is presented. The model deals with the association/dissociation reaction of initiator and propagating ion pairs in its kinetic scheme. By comparing model calculation results with real plant data, it is possible to obtain useful ideas for more efficient plant operation. For example, the model clearly provides important relation between the reaction temperature profile and the conversion of monomers.

Various new active ester monomers based on (meth)acrylates and 4-vinylbenzoic acid have been prepared. Investigation of the controlled radical polymerization behavior of the respective monomers resulted in excellent polymerization control, thus, opening synthetic routes to reactive block copolymers. Polymer analogous reactions with amines yielded functional polymers. In the case of the copolymer poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acetone oxime acrylate) a lower critical solution temperature could be measured at $52^{\circ}C$. Thus, the reactive copolymer features two characters: reactive AND stimuliresponsive behavior.

Equilibrium behavior of ABA triblock copolymer with different lengths of endblock A chains was examined using self-consistent field theory by Matsenl. It was found that at small asymmetries, the A block bidispersity reduces the stretching energy of the A domains. This effect causes a slight increase in the domain spacing and shifts the order-order transitions toward higher A volume fractions. At large asymmetries, the short A blocks pull free of their domains allowing their B blocks to relax. A feature of microphase-separated structure of asymmetric poly(methyl acyrylate) (PMA)-b-polystyrene-b-PMA using SAXS, DSC and ESR was experimentally examined. These measurements gave an evidence of the solubilization of short A chains to the B domains.

The use of renewable feedstock is an important issue to reduce the fossil fuel consumption. In this contribution, we report the cationic ring-opening polymerization of a 2-oxazoline monomer with soybean fatty acid side chains (SoyOx) under microwave irradiation. Kinetic experiments were performed to investigate the livingness of the polymerization in both acetonitrile and in the absence of solvent. In addition, both block and statistical copolymers were prepared using the SoyOx monomer. The synthesized (co)polymers were crosslinked under UV-irradiation resulting in insoluble polymeric materials and core-crosslinked micelles.

The molecular structure of poly(2,6-dimethyl-4,4' -phenylene oxide)-g-poly (styrenesulfonic acid) (PPO-g-PSSA) graft copolymer was designed, and synthesized via living radical polymerization. Obtained graft copolymers were transformed into proton exchange membranes for direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) application. The performance of the membranes was measured in terms of water uptake, proton conductivity, methanol permeability, and thermal stability. Very low methanol permeability and good proton conductivity were observed by adjusting grafting frequency and PSSA block content.
