Organic-inorganic vesicular hybrids driven by assembly of dendritic amphiphiles: site-selective encapsulation of nanoparticles

The amphiphilic block codendrimer self-assembled into supramolecular vesicles with a bilayer membrane in both hydrophilic and hydrophobic solvents. Surface-modified quantum dots (QDs) were successfully entrapped within the wall of vesicles through a simple self-assembly process without any structura...

Summary:The amphiphilic block codendrimer self-assembled into supramolecular vesicles with a bilayer membrane in both hydrophilic and hydrophobic solvents. Surface-modified quantum dots (QDs) were successfully entrapped within the wall of vesicles through a simple self-assembly process without any structural disruption.
