Cyclized or folded single-chain polymeric nano-objects are generally produced with low efficiency. Here, the authors have scaled up the preparation of supramolecular single-chain nanogels by RAFT polymerizations and applied the dynamic supramolecular single-chain nanogels to regulate cell behaviours at varying scales.
