title = "Self-assembly/disassembly of giant double-hydrophilic polymersomes at biologically-relevant pH",
abstract = "Self-assembled giant polymer vesicles prepared from double-hydrophilic diblock copolymers, poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(acrylic acid) (PEO-PAA) show significant degradation in response to pH changes. Because of the switching behavior of the diblock copolymers at biologically-relevant pH environments (2 to 9), these polymer vesicles have potential biomedical applications as smart delivery vehicles.",
