pH-Responsive Vesicles Based on a Hydrolytically Self-Cross-Linkable Copolymer

摘要

New block copolymer vesicles were prepared from self-assembly of a hydrolytically self-cross-linkable block copolymer in THF/water mixtures. DLS and fluorescence studies indicate that the permeability of the vesicle walls is pH-sensitive. These vesicles can also be decorated with gold nanoparticles; this provides further structural insights and may offer some possibilities for vesicle-supported precious metal catalysts.
