Mesogen -jacketed liquid crystalline polymers
TL;DR: The semi-rigid rod-like MJLCP with a tunable rod shape in both length and diameter provides an excellent building block in designing novel rod-coil liquid crystalline block copolymers which can self-assemble into hierarchical supramolecular nanostructures depending on the competition between liquid crystal formation and microphase separation.

Tunable assembly of amphiphilic rod–coil block copolymers in solution
TL;DR: This review highlights valuable contributions in the past six years on the self-assembly behavior of rod-coil BCPs controlled by the volume fraction and the composition of the blocks from both the experimental and theoretical perspectives, and their tunable self-assembled nanostructures triggered by external stimuli, such as solvent, pH, temperature, light, and chemical additives.

Reverse Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization of Methyl Methacrylate in Room-Temperature Ionic Liquids
TL;DR: The reverse atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of methyl methacrylate (MMA) was successfully carried out in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate with 2,2-azobisisobutyronitrile/CuCl 2/bipyridine as the initiating system, which had been reported as not able to promote a controlled process of MMA in bulk as discussed by the authors.

Mechanochromic luminescent property of a polypeptide-based dendron.
TL;DR: The mechanochromic luminescent property of a dendritic polypeptide with a fluorescent aromatic moiety at the focal point is reported, which depends on the thermal history.
