“…Thermal decomposition produces hydrophobic MNP with tunable sizes (5–22 nm), narrow size distribution, and high crystallinity, holding scalability potential [ 45 , 46 ]. On the other hand, co-precipitation, which is a simple and rapid procedure, results in the synthesis of MNPs with high polydispersity and poor crystallinity [ 2 , 47 , 48 ]. Typically, MNPs are synthesized first and then co-assembled with amphiphilic copolymers into MPMs.…”

“…Typically, MNPs are synthesized first and then co-assembled with amphiphilic copolymers into MPMs. Nevertheless, a study by Bastakoti et al reported the in situ synthesis of SPIONs by co-precipitation after micelle assembly with poly(styrene- block -acrylic acid- block -ethylene oxide) (PS- b -PAA- b -PEG) [ 2 ]. The chelating behavior of the carboxylic acid groups from the PAA segment provides the reaction sites for iron ions and controls the crystal overgrowth during the co-precipitation reaction.…”

“…PMs are formed of a hydrophobic core and a hydrophilic outer shell and are characterized by a high loading efficiency of different cargos. As most conventional medicines share a hydrophobic nature, they can be accommodated in the hydrophobic core, whereas the hydrophilic shell may house complementary hydrophilic drugs and bioactive molecules in addition to providing colloidal stability and intrinsic stealth effect [ 1 , 2 ]. The shell is also responsible for environmental protection, limiting opsonin adsorption towards a longer circulation time or better blood stability and for active targeting through conjugation with ligands or antibodies against molecules and protein complexes at the cell membrane.…”

Hybrid nanoarchitectures such as magnetic polymeric micelles (MPMs) are among the most promising nanotechnology-enabled materials for biomedical applications combining the benefits of polymeric micelles and magnetic nanoparticles within a single bioinstructive system. MPMs are formed by the self-assembly of polymer amphiphiles above the critical micelle concentration, generating a colloidal structure with a hydrophobic core and a hydrophilic shell incorporating magnetic particles (MNPs) in one of the segments. MPMs have been investigated most prominently as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as heat generators in hyperthermia treatments, and as magnetic-susceptible nanocarriers for the delivery and release of therapeutic agents. The versatility of MPMs constitutes a powerful route to ultrasensitive, precise, and multifunctional diagnostic and therapeutic vehicles for the treatment of a wide range of pathologies. Although MPMs have been significantly explored for MRI and cancer therapy, MPMs are multipurpose functional units, widening their applicability into less expected fields of research such as bioengineering and regenerative medicine. Herein, we aim to review published reports of the last five years about MPMs concerning their structure and fabrication methods as well as their current and foreseen expectations for advanced biomedical applications.

“…The strong binding of metal sources and polymeric micelles leads to fabricating hollow nanospheres with controllable sizes. The polymers are designed in such a way that the metal sources are driven to interact with the specific domain of the polymer [36–38] . The molecularly dissolved polymer chains in tetrahydrofuran undergo self‐assembly after adding phosphoric acid.…”

Hollow nanostructures of transition metal phosphate are of immense interest in the existing and evolving areas of technology, due to their high surface area, presence of hollow void, and easy tuning of compositions and dimensions. Emerging synthesis methods such as templatefree methods, hard-templating, and soft-templating are discussed in this review. Applications of these hollow metal phosphates dominate in energy storage and conversions, with specific advantages as supercapacitor materials. Other applications, including drug delivery, water splitting, catalysis, and adsorption, are reviewed. Finally, additional perspectives on the progress of these nanostructures, and their existing challenges related to the current synthesis routes are covered. Therefore, with the strategic modifications of the unique properties of these hollow metal phosphates, broader application requirements are fulfilled.
