Abstract

We report an unusual homopolymer vesicle, which has a soft bilayer membrane composed of oligo(ethyleneoxy) side chains (OEs) with a gradually decreased packing density from the centre of the membrane to both margins, exhibiting thermo-responsive zeta potential and dispersibility and showing potential applications for anti-cancer drug delivery.
