“…However, the important class of biomaterials is underrepresented yet as only few overviews about the generation of PBBNs via the PISA technique have been published. [60,65,77,78] To this end, this review aims to summarize recent develop ments of the PISA technique in preparing PBBNs. First, we illustrate the two main fabrication strategies for PBBNs that are composed of biomolecule-polymer conjugates via PISA: graftingfrom and graftingthrough method.…”

The combination of biomolecules and synthetic polymers provides an easy access to utilize advantages from both the synthetic world and nature. This is not only important for the development of novel innovative materials, but also promotes the application of biomolecules in various fields including medicine, catalysis, and water treatment, etc. Due to the rapid progress in synthesis strategies for polymer nanomaterials and deepened understanding of biomolecules’ structures and functions, the construction of advanced polymer‐based biohybrid nanostructures (PBBNs) becomes prospective and attainable. Polymerization‐induced self‐assembly (PISA), as an efficient and versatile technique in obtaining polymeric nano‐objects at high concentrations, has demonstrated to be an attractive alternative to existing self‐assembly procedures. Those advantages induce the focus on the fabrication of PBBNs via the PISA technique. In this review, current preparation strategies are illustrated based on the PISA technique for achieving various PBBNs, including grafting‐from and grafting‐through methods, as well as encapsulation of biomolecules during and subsequent to the PISA process. Finally, advantages and drawbacks are discussed in the fabrication of PBBNs via the PISA technique and obstacles are identified that need to be overcome to enable commercial application.

“…But if we consider the chemical genesis of hybrid materials, we will also find very interesting recurring characteristics which are suggestive of general strategies that can be followed for the synthesis of new hybrids. Thus, the concept of self-assembly is present in a wide range of hybrid materials synthesis, ,,− from spontaneous sol–gel processes to the designed assembly of nano building blocks or the crystal growth of metal–organic frameworks. Whether it is revealed by discovery as in sol–gel growth or realized by design as in the case of MOFs, self-assembly is at the heart of the bottom-up growth of hybrid materials.…”
