a, b, Chemically induced osmotic pressure Πi transforms primed emulsion droplets (a) into expanding vesicles (b). The osmotic pressure is generated by charged monomers produced by the reaction between NaOH and the TPM oil phase. c, Expanding vesicles can be fixed via UV polymerization, resulting in solid capsules. Scale bars, 2 μm.
