polymersome

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.13848
Vesicle with radius ranging from \(\pu{50 nm}\) to greater than \(\pu{5 \upmu m}\) constructed from an amphiphilic synthetic block copolymer.
Note: Most reported polymersomes serve as hosts for an aqueous solution and are useful for the accommodation or temporary trapping of molecules such as drugs, enzymes, and other proteins and peptides in in vivo applications.
