TLDR
With all compositions, in both 100 nm and giant vesicles, the average release time reflects a highly quantized process in which any given vesicle is either intact and retains its encapsulant, or is porated and slowly disintegrates.

Polymer vesicles : Materials science: Soft surfaces

Dennis E. Discher, +1 more
- 01 Jan 2002 - 
TL;DR: Future applications of polymer vesicles will rely on exploiting unique property-performance relations, but results to date underscore the fact that biologically derived vesicle are but a small subset of what is physically and chemically possible.

Biodegradation and biocompatibility of PLA and PLGA microspheres

TL;DR: This chapter is a critical review of biodegradation, biocompatibility and tissue/material interactions, and selected examples of PLA and PLGA microsphere controlled release systems, and emphasis is placed on polymer and microSphere characteristics which modulate the degradation behaviour and the foreign body reaction to the microspheres.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polymersomes: tough vesicles made from diblock copolymers.

TL;DR: The results suggest a new class of synthetic thin-shelled capsules based on block copolymer chemistry, and both the membrane bending and area expansion moduli of electroformed polymersomes (polymer-based liposomes) fell within the range of lipid membrane measurements.
