Covalent attachment of polymersomes to surfaces

We show that vesicles made of block copolymers with aldehyde end groups can be covalently attached to aminated and non-aminated, untreated glass surfaces. The attached vesicles were sufficiently stable to allow a detailed investigation of vesicle shapes by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) a...

Zusammenfassung:We show that vesicles made of block copolymers with aldehyde end groups can be covalently attached to aminated and non-aminated, untreated glass surfaces. The attached vesicles were sufficiently stable to allow a detailed investigation of vesicle shapes by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and AFM in aqueous solutions allowing reconstruction of 3D images of the vesicle structure. Covalently attached PCL-PEO, PLA-PEO, and PI-PEO block copolymer vesicles have different footprint areas and different shapes due to their differences in bilayer stiffness
