Polymersomes (Vesicles)

Polymersomes

Due to the increased length and strength of the polymer, polymersomes have a thicker membrane and durability as compared to liposomes. As a result, polymersomes have potential for medical imaging and drug delivery applications. The goal of this application note is to determine a method for mediating the destruction of these vesicles in order to give better control over the release of the encapsulated drug in vivo.
