Bioresponsive polymers have been widely used in drug delivery because of their degradability. For example, poly(disulfide)s with repeating disulfide bonds in the main chain have attracted considerable research attention. The characteristics of the disulfide bonds, including their dynamic and reversible properties and their responsiveness to stimuli such as reductants, light, heat, and mechanical force, make them ideal platforms for on-demand drug delivery. This review introduces the synthesis methods and applications of poly(disulfide)s. Furthermore, the synthesis methods of poly(disulfide)s are classified on the basis of the monomers used: oxidative step-growth polymerization with dithiols, ring-opening polymerization with cyclic disulfides, and polymerization with linear disulfides. In addition, recent advances in poly(disulfide)s for the delivery of small-molecule or biomacromolecular drugs are discussed. Quantum-dot-loaded poly(disulfide) delivery systems for imaging are also included. This review provides an overview of the various design strategies employed in the construction of poly(disulfide) platforms to inspire new applications in the field of drug delivery.
