pH responsive polymersome Pickering emulsion for simple and efficient Janus polymersome fabrication

Abstract

Crosslinked poly(acrylic acid)-b-polystyrene polymersomes were successfully employed to form a water-in-oil Pickering emulsion and enabled an easy and reversible disassembly due to the pH sensitivity. The side of the polymersomes exposed to the water phase was selectively modified with metal nanoparticles, allowing facile formation of anisotropically modified Janus polymersomes.
