A facile and fast method for the functionalization of polymersomes by photoinduced cycloaddition chemistry†
Abstract
Polymersomes are promising platforms for use in biosensing, where their stability may be crucial over that of liposomes. For the introduction of the desired functionality multiple strategies have been reported for functionalization of polymersomes. However, none of them have combined readily available starting materials, facility and in situ quantification. We show a simple 4-step method for functionalization of polymersomes starting from commercially available materials. For the key conjugation step a recently explored light induced
