Biodegradable large compound vesicles with controlled size prepared via the self-assembly of branched polymers in nanodroplet templates

Chem Commun (Camb). 2014 Sep 4;50(68):9676-8. doi: 10.1039/c4cc02836h.

Abstract

Generally, it is very difficult to control the size of large compound vesicles. Here, we introduce a novel method for the preparation of biodegradable large compound vesicles with controlled size and narrow size distribution by using aqueous nanodroplets as templates.
