title: Cross-linked and pH sensitive supported polymer bilayers from polymersomes - studies concerning thickness, rigidity and fluidity.
abstract: Polymersomes are at the leading edge of biomedical and nanoparticle research. In order to get closer insights into their mechanical properties, the bilayer forming them needs to be studied thoroughly. Here, we report on the bilayer formation, swelling behaviour, rigidity and fluidity of our membranes derived from pH sensitive and photo-cross-linkable polymersomes.
