Self‐assembly of macromolecules is fundamental to life itself, and historically, these systems
have been primitively mimicked by the development of amphiphilic systems, driven by the …

It is a theoretical and technical challenge to construct well-defined nanostructures such as
vesicles from fully hydrophilic homopolymers in pure water. In this paper, we incorporate …

Block copolymers that consist of more than one chemically distinct polymer segment linked
together by covalent or noncovalent bonds, can work as an important type of …

We engineer novel structures by “stuffing” the aliphatic regions of self-assembled
aggregates with hydrophobic homopolymer. These “stuffed” vesicles and multiple emulsions …

It is well-recognized that block copolymer self-assembly in solution typically produces
spheres, worms or vesicles, with the relative volume fraction of each block dictating the …

Controllable self-assembly of nanoscale building blocks into larger specific structures
provides an effective route for the fabrication of new materials with unique optical, electronic …

Self-assembled giant polymer vesicles prepared from double-hydrophilic diblock
copolymers, poly (ethylene oxide)-b-poly (acrylic acid)(PEO–PAA) show significant …

Polymersomes are multicompartmental vesicular nano-objects obtained by self-assembly of
amphiphilic copolymers. When prepared in the aqueous phase, they are composed of a …

The past decade has seen growing interest in the investigation of self-assembling
nanostructures, particularly in aqueous solution. In this context, polypeptide-based …

It has been shown by us in a recent communication that homopolymers, in which each
repeat unit contains a hydrophilic and a hydrophobic head group, are capable of forming …
