From: Designing polymersomes with surface-integrated nanoparticles through hierarchical phase separation
a Morphological characterization of co-assembled nanoarchitectures was performed as a function of PTM concentration, maintaining a fixed concentration of PEG44-P(AIE)8 (1 mg mL−1), utilizing SEM (second row) and TEM (third row). Scale bar = 500 nm/Insert = 200 nm. b Co-assembly of PTM (1 mg mL−1) with PEG44-P(AIE)8 at two different concentrations, 0.125 mg mL−1 (left) and 0.25 mg mL−1 (right), utilizing SEM. Scale bar = 500 nm. The pink color in schematic illustration represents PTM, green and blue color indicate respectively the hydrophobic and hydrophilic domain of amphiphilic block copolymers.
