TL;DR: Narrowly distributed poly(N-vinyl caprolactam) obtained by the MADIX/RAFT process was used for the preparation of novel thermoresponsive gold nanoparticles presenting a sharp reversible response to temperature, which can be easily modulated near the physiological temperature by simply changing the polymer molecular weight or concentration.

TL;DR: This review provides a general overview of existing colloidal nanovectors: liposomes, polymeric micelles,polymeric vesicles, polymer nanoparticles (NPs), and dendrimers, and describes their characteristics, advantages and drawbacks, and discusses their use in the treatment of various diseases.

TL;DR: In this paper, the state of the art of the use of RAFT/MADIX polymers for the preparation of these nanohybrids is described, and the main families of polymers are discussed in view of their chemical composition (homopolymer, copolymer, etc.).

TL;DR: A comprehensive review on the use of vinyl ester monomers in reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization can be found in this article, where all the synthetic aspects associated with the definition of precision polymers comprising poly(vinyl ester) building blocks, such as the choice of RAFT agent and reaction conditions, are discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis of original vinylidene fluoride (VDF)-based amphiphilic block copolymers by RAFT/MADIX polymerization was reported, and the controlled polymerization of VDF could be successfully mediated by a xanthate chain transfer agent as evidenced by size exclusion chromatography (SEC), 19F NMR, and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) analysis.
