Installing chemical functionality at precise locations within complex macromolecules as well as onto three dimensional direct laser written constructs in the mildest possible fashion (visible light) and without any catalyst becomes possible with powerful light driven, quantitative ligation protocols. Advanced light induced processes enable the parallel encoding of multiple molecules onto predefined locations on surfaces as well as the wavelength dependent addressing of specific parts of a macromolecule for its highly orthogonal functionalization (lambda-orthogonal photochemistry). In addition to exploring the above technologies, the lecture will highlight how polymer functionalization can be directed in its selectivity with light by exploiting light controlled reaction manifolds as well as explore if diffraction unlimited laser lithography is possible based on photo-click chemistry concepts. PL2 Multicellular cancer spheroids as a tool to understand the toxicity of nanoparticles Professor Martina Stenzel UNSW Micelles and vesicles have long been proposed as carriers for low molecular weight molecules including drugs. Polymer chemist have designed a variety of different micelles and tested their ability to deliver drugs using a tradition assay of cell in 2D. However, the uptake of nanoparticles in vitro does not take the actual structure of tumors into account, which requires the movement of particles into the tissue. Multicellular tumor spheroids (MCTS) can act as a 3D tumor model to investigate the biological responses to polymeric micelles as nanocarriers for therapeutic applications. Therefore, a range of nanoparticles were prepared to study the correlation between nanoparticle type and spheroid penetration. It was found that stable micelles, which were stabilized by crosslinking, penetrated deeper and delivered more drugs into MCTS than the diffusion of the free drug.

PL4 Rejuvenation of poly(2-oxazoline)s Professor Richard Hoogenboom Ghent University The living cationic ring-opening polymerization of 2-oxazolines has been studied in great detail since its discovery in 1966. The versatility of this polymerization method allows copolymerization of a variety of 2-oxazoline monomers to give a range of tunable polymer properties that enable, for example, hydrophilic, hydrophobic, fluorophilic, as well as hard and soft materials. However, this class of polymers was almost forgotten in the 1980s and 1990s because of the long reaction times and limited application possibilities. In the new millennium, a revival of poly(2-oxazoline)s has arisen because of their potential use as biomaterials and thermoresponsive materials, as well as the easy access to defined amphiphilic structures for (hierarchical) self-assembly. Recent developments from our research that illustrate the potential of poly(2-oxazoline)s will be discussed in this lecture, including the preparation of defined high-molar mass polymers as well as functional biomaterials. PL5 Macromolecular Engineering by ATRP Professor Krzysztof Matyjaszewski CMU Macromolecular engineering is based on precise design, synthesis, processing and characterization of targeted materials for specific applications. Many advanced nanostructured functional materials were recently designed and prepared by controlled/ living atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). ATRP of acrylates, methacrylates, styrenes, acrylamides, acrylonitrile and other vinyl monomers was employed for macromolecular engineering of polymers with precisely controlled molecular weights, low dispersities, designed shape, composition and functionality. Examples of block, graft, star, hyperbranched, gradient and periodic copolymers, molecular brushes and various hybrid materials and bioconjugates prepared with high precision will be presented. PL6 Making molecules with the tiniest machines Professor Dave Leigh University of Manchester Over the past few years some of the first examples of synthetic molecular level machines and motors—all be they primitive by biological standards—have been developed. These molecules respond to light, chemical and electrical stimuli, controlling the motion of the components. Nature achieves the sequence-specific synthesis of information-rich oligomers and polymers through the operation of complex molecular machines that transcribe information from the genetic code (e.g. the ribosome, DNA polymerases etc). We will discuss the first steps towards doing this at a very basic level with artificial molecular machines. PL7 Controllable Supramolecular Polymerization Professor Xi Zhang Tsinghua University Supramolecular polymers are of great interest because the nature of noncovalent interactions holding them together imparts dynamic, reversible and degradable characteristics to these materials. Although the study of supramolecular polymers has made considerable progress, it remains a big challenge to realize control over supramolecular polymerization. In this presentation, I will introduce two strategies to fabricate supramolecular polymers, leading to advancement of controllable supramolecular polymerization. One is supramolecular polymerization promoted and controlled by molecular self-sorting. The other method involves noncovalent preparation of supramonomers and covalent polymerization of the supramonomers. It is highly anticipated that these studies will enrich the methodology of fabricating supramolecular polymers with molecular weight and structure control. PL8 Professor Virgil Percec University of Pennsylvania A Material Genome Approch to Complex Systems A materials genome approach to complex systems that involves the discovery and the prediction of the structure responsible for function will be discussed. Examples will range from protocells via sequence defined building blocks to Ni-precatalysts for quantitative organic transformations and to helical assemblies that disregard the stereochemical information of their building blocks. PL9 Nanostructure recipes using block polymers as key ingredients Professor Marc Hillmyer UMN Block polymers are remarkable hybrid materials that can self-assemble on nanoscopic length scales. By controlling the composition, architecture, chemical nature, end groups, and molar mass, synthetic chemists can precisely tune the morphologies adopted by these materials. The morphology in turn dictates ultimate properties. In this talk, I will discuss the design, synthesis, self-assembly and applications of block polymers for use in nanopatterning at very small length scales and for use in high-performance membrane materials. Emphasis will be placed on modern synthetic techniques for the facile generation of nanostructures in both thin films and the bulk state. In-situ generation of bicontinuous nanostructures will be highlighted as a particularly practical route to advanced nanostructured materials. PL10 Peptide-containing conjugates for triggered assembly and controlled delivery from collagen matrices Professor Kristi Kiick University of Delaware Temperature-triggered formation of nanostructures with distinct biological activity offers opportunities in selective modification of matrices and in drug delivery. Toward these ends, motifs from structural proteins, such as collagen and resilin, have been conjugated to polymers including poly(ethylene) glycol, poly(ethyleneimine), or thermally responsive poly(acrylate)-based polymers. Analysis via dynamic light scattering and electron microscopy suggests that the thermally responsive conjugates are able to form a range of nanostructures depending on temperature. Collagen-peptide-modified nanoparticles have enabled the retention and sustained release of cargo from collagen-based materials, offering substantial improvement in cargo activity over that achieved by free nanoparticles. These results suggest the utility of these techniques for designing tunable, collagen-based delivery systems. PL11 First Initiator-Driven Chain-Growth Supramolecular Polymerization Professor Takuzo Aida Tokyo University Over the last decade, significant progress in supramolecular polymerization has had a substantial impact on the design of soft materials (1). However, most studies are still based on a preconceived notion that supramolecular polymerization mechanistically follows step-growth polymerization, which does not, in principle, permit the chain-length, sequential, and stereochemical structural control of polymers. Here we report the first noncovalent chain-growth polymerization by designing metastable monomers with an intramolecular hydrogen-bonding network (2). The monomers are disabled for spontaneous polymerization at ambient temperatures, but begin to polymerize with a typical character of living polymerization upon mixing with tailored initiators. The chain growth occurs stereoselectively and therefore enables optical resolution of a racemic monomer: (1) T. Aida, E. W. Meijer, and S. I. Stupp, Science 2012, 335, 813. (2) J. Kang, D. Miyajima et al., Science 2015, 347, 646. PL12 Professor Steve Armes University of Sheffield Occlusion of organic nanoparticles within inorganic crystal offers a unique model to examine biomineralization while providing a versatile route to new nanocomposite materials. Herein, a series of poly(ammonium 2-sulfatoethyl methacrylate)-based diblock copolymer nanoparticles are prepared via RAFT-mediated polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA). Their anionic charge character and size distributions are evaluated by aqueous electrophoresis, dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy. XPS studies confirm that the stabiliser density of these nanoparticles can be tuned by varying the PISA synthesis conditions, e.g. using either aqueous emulsion polymerisation or dispersion polymerisation in ethanol/water mixtures. Some of these anionic nanoparticles can be efficiently incorporated within calcite crystals, with thermogravimetric analysis indicating up to 7.5 wt% (14.8 vol %) occlusion. PL13 Precision Functional Polymers by Precision Polymerizations Professor Mitsuo Sawamoto Kyoto University Taking metal-catalyzed living radical and living cationic polymerizations that the author's group have been developing as examples, the lecture will overview the current status of catalyst developments and precision synthesis of functional polymers and oligomers. Special attention will be focused on the principles for reaction control, polymer topology, and sequence-control, among others. PL14 Organocatalytic Polymerization of Ylides: A powerful tool towards well-defined polyethylene-based polymers Professor Nikos Hadjichistidis KAUST Access to well-defined (high degree of structural, molecular weight and compositional homogeneity) polyethylenes (PEs) and PE-based copolymers is necessary in order to elucidate the structure-properties relationships and evaluate potential applications. Polyhomologation, first discovered by Shea, is a borane-initiated living polymerization of ylides leading to well-defined polymethylene (C1 polymerization). Our group is developing both novel borane catalysts/initiators and ylide monomers and combines polyhomologation with other living polymerizations to synthesize model polymethylene (equivalent to polyethylene, PE)-based polymeric materials. INVITED LECTURES 30 Minutes IL1 Macro Group UK Award Lecture Professor Dave Adams, Emily R. Draper, C. Colquhoun, J. Raeburn, L. Chen Liverpool University Controlling the Assembly in Multicomponent Supramolecular Hydrogels Supramolecular polymers can be formed by self-assembly and have many applications , from sensing, cell culturing, and electronics. We have been investigating the formation of gels using small molecule gelators, the assembly of which into long fibrous structures forms the gel matrix. Mixing building blocks can be used to make a range of interesting new materials. Here, we will describe a range of mixed systems. We will show how fibrous structures form in these systems and show how we can control how different types of fibrous networks are built up in multicomponent systems. We describe both self-sorted and co-assembled networks and the effect of these different networks on the gel properties. IL2 Macro Group UK Award Lecture Dr Paul D Topham, Aston University A strategy to use block copolymer technology to modify surface properties of thin films A strategy to use block copolymer technology to modify surface properties of thin films is presented. Focus is paid on external physical stimuli, such as temperature, to trigger changes in surface character of polymer films. In contrast to chemical modification, external physical triggers render the processes more amenable to industrially-relevant roll-to-roll printing processes. The specific materials discussed are targeted for use in organic photovoltaics, however, the strategy should be amenable to a variety of surface technologies/applications. The use of x-ray scattering to probe the nanomorphology of the thin films is also explained and discussed in reference to controlling the film properties through manipulation of the molecular composition of the block copolymers. IL3 Professor Daniel Savin, Greg Strange, Ian Smith, Craig Machado, Jacob Ray University of Florida Morphology Transitions in Polypeptide-based Block Polymer Assemblies This study involves the bottom-up design and tunability of responsive, peptide-based block polymers. The self-assembly of amphiphilic block polymers is dictated primarily by the balance between the hydrophobic core volume and the hydrophilic corona. In these studies, amphiphilic diblock, triblock and star polymers containing poly(lysine) (PK) and poly(glutamic acid) (PE) were synthesized and their solution properties studied using dynamic light scattering, circular dichroism spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. This talk will present some recent studies in solution morphology transitions that occur in these materials as a result of the helix-coil transition and associated charge-charge interactions. We exploit the responsiveness of these materials to encapsulate and release therapeutics such as doxorubicin and demonstrate the potential to achieve triggered release as a function of pH due to morphology transitions. IL4 Professor Feihe Huang, RSC Polymer Chemistry Award Lecture Zhejiang University Supramolecular Polymers Based on Host-Guest Molecular Recognition Motifs We are interested in the fabrication of supramolecular polymers based on host-guest molecular recognition motifs. Self-sorting organization of two AB–type heteroditopic monomers led to the formation of linear supramolecular alternating copolymers. By utilization of host-guest and metal-ligand noncovalent recognitions motifs, different topologies of supramolecular polymers, such as linear and crosslinked species, can be reversibly interconverted by external stimuli. Based on the dibenzo-24-crown-8/1,2-bis(pyridinium)ethane recognition motif, a hyperbranched mechanically interlocked polymer was prepared by polyesterification of an easily available dynamic trifunctional AB2 pseudorotaxane monomer. By utilization of a crown ether-based host-guest recognitions motif, a supramolecular polymer gel constructed from a low molecular weight A-B monomer shows thermo- and pH-induced reversible gel-sol transitions.
