Polymersome-Embedded Nanoparticles

Macromolecular Symposia, 2007
AbstractSummary: Polymersomes are self assembled vesicles composed of fully synthetic amphiphilic diblock copolymers. Many of their properties are similar to lipid vesicles, although with often higher thermal and mechanical stability within their curved membrane. Incorporation of nanosized objects into their hydrophilic interior or hydrophobic membrane

Multicompartment Polymersomes from Double Emulsions

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2011
Versatile chambers: A microfluidic technique is used to generate polymersomes with multiple compartments using double emulsions with different morphology as templates (see scheme). The polymersomes could be utilized for encapsulation of multiple substances and as reaction vessels that enable triggered reaction with controlled stoichometry of the ...

Polymersomes: Preparation and Characterization

2019
Polymersomes, also called polymeric vesicles, are self-assembled by amphiphilic copolymers. Due to their unique characters, polymersomes are attracting more and more interest as an important class of vehicles for nanopharmaceuticals. In this chapter, various methods to prepare and characterize polymersomes are introduced systematically with several ...

Sequential Synthesis of Coordination Polymersomes

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2014
AbstractNovel organic–inorganic hybrid liposomes, so‐called coordination polymersomes (CPsomes), with artificial domains that exhibit strong lateral cohesion were prepared by a three‐step procedure that formed a coordinative interaction leading to a lipid bilayer.

Membrane Stabilization of Biodegradable Polymersomes

Langmuir, 2009
Biodegradable polymersomes are promising vehicles for a range of applications. Their stabilization would improve many properties, including the retention and controlled release of polymersome contents, yet this has not been previously accomplished. Here, we present the first example of stabilizing fully biodegradable polymersomes through acrylation of ...

Polymersomes for theranostics

Journal of Drug Delivery Science and Technology, 2013
In spite of the clear potential of personalized medicine, its pace of implementation has not yet fulfilled initial hopes. Polymeric vesicles, also named polymersomes, are presented as versatile systems able to address issues of efficacy, specificity and controlled release of drugs in a wide range of pathological scenarios that might show the way to ...

An intercompartmental enzymatic cascade reaction in channel-equipped polymersome-in-polymersome architectures

J. Mater. Chem. B, 2014
A multicompartment cascade reaction is presented in a polymersome-in-polymersome architecture, which is regulated by insertion of a channel protein in the inner compartment's polymer membrane.

Adhesion of Antibody-Functionalized Polymersomes

Langmuir, 2006
Polymersomes 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 ...
