A selenium-containing small molecule is exploited to controllably tune the polymer amphiphilicity, leading to fabrication of appropriate polymer surfactants through which one-step double emulsions can be obtained in a facile, scalable, surfactant-free approach. After solvent evaporation, these resulting porous microparticles are shown to be the exceptional artificial GPx enzyme mimics.

A general approach is reported to fabricate a stimuli responsive system via coassembly of diselenide-containing block copolymers with polymer lipids, which integrates the stimuli-responsiveness of diselenide chemistry and the biocompatibility of polymer lipids. By using dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy, and zeta potential analyzer, coassembly behavior of these two kinds of polymers and responsiveness of coassemblies have been investigated. These coassemblies can exhibit redox-responsiveness i...
