Covalent Attachment of Polymersomes to Surfaces
Langmuir, 2010We show that vesicles made of block copolymers with aldehyde end groups can be covalently attached to aminated and non-aminated, untreated glass surfaces. The attached vesicles were sufficiently stable to allow a detailed investigation of vesicle shapes by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and AFM in aqueous solutions allowing reconstruction of

Adhesion of Antibody-Functionalized Polymersomes
Langmuir, 2006Polymersomes are vesicles made from synthetic block copolymers. The adhesiveness of micron-sized polymersomes, functionalized with antibodies that bind to vascular cell adhesion molecules, which could be useful for vascular targeting, was measured. Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is an endothelial cell adhesion molecule whose expression ...

Structural and mechanical characteristics of polymersomes
Soft Matter, 2014Polymersomes self-assembled from amphiphilic macromolecules have attracted growing attention because of their multifunctionality and stability. By controlling the structural characteristics of polymersomes, including vesicle shape, size, and membrane thickness, their mechanical and transport properties as well as their fusion behavior can be ...

Can Polymersomes Form Colloidosomes?
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2012Hydroxy-functionalized polymersomes (or block copolymer vesicles) were prepared via a facile one-pot RAFT aqueous dispersion polymerization protocol and evaluated as Pickering emulsifiers for the stabilization of emulsions of n-dodecane emulsion droplets in water.

Intercompartmental enzymatic cascade in channel-equipped polymersome-in-polymersome architectures
J. Mater. Chem. BCompartmentalization as a design principle is prerequisite for the functioning of eukaryotic cells. Although cell mimics in the form of single vesicular compartments such as liposomes or polymersomes have been tremendously successful investigations of the corresponding higher order architectures in particular bilayer based multicompartment vesicles ...
