title: Nanoparticle-loaded magnetophoretic vesicles.
abstract: Magnetic nanoparticles have been assembled into the bilayer membrane of block copolymer vesicles. The nanoparticles decorate the hydrophobic/hydrophilic interface, which leads to bridging of adjacent bilayers and the formation of oligo-lamellar vesicles. The nanoparticle uptake of the vesicles is sufficiently high to become magnetophoretic in external magnetic fields as shown by video microscopy.
