Metabolically Active, Fully Hydrolysable Polymersomes [PDF]
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2019 AbstractThe synthesis and aqueous self‐assembly of a new class of amphiphilic aliphatic polyesters are presented. These AB block polyesters comprise polycaprolactone (hydrophobe) and an alternating polyester from succinic acid and an ether‐substituted epoxide (hydrophile).
