Vesicles in Multiple Shapes: Fine-Tuning Polymersomes’ Shape and Stability by Setting Membrane Hydrophobicity

Amphiphilic block-copolymers are known to self-assemble into micelles and vesicles. In this paper, we discuss the multiple options between and beyond these boundaries using amphiphilic AB diblock and ABC triblock copolymers. We adjust the final structure reached by the composition of the mixture, by...
