title: Giant vesicle formation through self-assembly of chitooligosaccharide-based graft copolymers.
abstract: A simple approach is described for the preparation of chitooligosaccharide-based giant vesicles with variable size by simply tuning the water content in the water-dioxane mixture, by which reactive vesicles with diameters in the range of 0.5-400 microm were easily prepared.
