	A series of dual stimuli-responsive block copolymers comprising temperature-responsive poly(N-vinyl-caprolactam) (PVCL) and biodegradable pH-responsive poly(L-lysine) (PLL) of varying chain length were syn-thesized by a combination of free radical polymerization and ring opening polymerization. The block copolymers formed micelles and vesicles (polymersomes) in response to temperature and pH, respectively, in aqueous so-lution. The nanoassemblies were characterized by transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering techniques. Encapsulation of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic dyes in the polymersomes was shown. Doxo-rubicin (DOX) was loaded in the polymersomes and its controlled release in response to the two stimuli, inde-pendently and jointly, was studied. The drug was found to be released due to stimuli-induced increased permeability without disassembly of the polymersomes. A significant increase in the cellular uptake of the drug-loaded polymersomes at hyperthermia conditions was demonstrated at 41 degrees C and release of the drug upon localization in lysosomes was observed. Cellular internalization pathway of the polymersomes was investigated by competitive inhibition assay and a combination of endocytic pathways dominated by caveolae-mediated mechanism was found to be operative.</p>

	In this study, poly(isobornyl acrylate)-b-poly(citronellyl methacrylate) (PIBA-b-PCMA) block copolymers were synthesized with controlled molecular weights and low dispersity using photoinduced electron transfer-reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (PET-RAFT) polymerization of isobornyl acrylate (IBA) and citronellyl methacrylate (CMA), both terpene-derived monomers. A series of block copolymers was obtained by varying the chain length of PCMA block. Kinetics study of the polymerization of IBA and CMA using 4-cyano-(((dodecylthio)carbonothioyl)thio)pentanoic acid (CDTPA) as chain transfer agent showed a linear plot of ln[M]0/[M]t vs time indicating first order reaction. Distinct glass transition temperatures were observed for the individual blocks and enhanced thermal stability was seen with increasing PCMA content. Post-polymerization modification of the polymer was demonstrated using thiol-ene reaction with the vinyl group in the pendent citronellyl moiety. Adhesion performance, evaluated through lap shear test on aluminum substrates, showed that the block copolymers achieved peak shear strengths of 1.74 MPa at a 38:62 PIBA:PCMA mole ratio.</p>
