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.

A supramolecular photosensitizer delivery system has been established through the self-assembly of supramolecular amphiphiles constructed by the host–guest interaction between poly(ethylene glycol)-β-cyclodextrin (PEG-β-CD) and adamantane-terminated porphyrin derivatives bearing a disulfide bond (TPPC6-SS-Ada).

The self-assembly properties and ER effects of the Polyaniline-Poly(ethylene glycol)-Polyaniline (PAn-PEG-PAn) triblock copolymers were studied in this paper. The results indicate that with the increase of solubility parameter of the solvent, PAn-PEG-PAn copolymers form into different morphologies of spheriods, vesicles and rods. PAn-PEG-PAn copolymers with vesicles morphology show the highest polarization strength, while those with rods have the most rapid polarization rate. Among the PAn-PEG-PAn copolymers of different morphologies, the PAn-PEG-PAn copolymer vesicles show the strongest ER effect.
