Photopolymerization of biomembrane templates: Nanometer-scale hydrogels and the photoinduced release of vesicle contents
Long nanotubes of fluid-bilayers were used to create templates for photochemical polymerization into solid-phase conduits and networks. Micromechanical methods were developed which allowed each nanotube to be pulled from a micropipette-held feeder vesicle by mechanical retraction of the vesicle afte...
