Self-Assembly of Complex Vesicles

We demonstrate the full kinetic pathways of self-assembly of polymeric amphiphiles into a rich variety of complex vesicles by large-scale computer simulations based on dynamic self-consistent-field theory. The vesicular nanostructure can be tailored by both kinetic and thermodynamic factors.
