Polymer vesicles formed by amphiphilic diblock copolymers containing a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer block.
New amphiphilic diblock copolymers composed of poly(ethylene glycol) and a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer have been synthesized and demonstrated to form well-defined unilamellar vesicles in water by cryo-electron microscopy.
