Probing Bioinspired Transport of Nanoparticles into Polymersomes

Abstract

Transmembrane transport: A combination of photon and fluorescence correlation spectroscopies is used to study the internalization of nanoparticles into a minimal model system based on poly(dimethylsiloxane)-block-poly(2-methyloxazoline) vesicles (see picture). These techniques provide information about the kinetics and dynamics of this transport process in real time.
