“…Previously, multicompartmentalized polymersomes, namely "polymersomes in polymersomes", were fabricated by several groups. [ 38,39 ] The size of the cross-linked polymersomes prepared here were relatively large (some had diameters of several tens of µm). The observed inner polymersomes were found to be uncross-linked, as they appeared above the aggregation temperature (Figure 2 f) and disappeared below the aggregation temperature (Figure 2 e).…”

Biomimetic cross-linked polymersomes that exhibit a self-beating motion without any on-off switching are developed. The polymersomes are made from a well-defined synthetic thermoresponsive diblock copolymer, and the thermoresponsive segment includes ruthenium catalysts for the oscillatory chemical reaction and vinylidene groups to cross-link the polymersomes. Autonomous volume and shape oscillations of the cross-linked polymersomes are realized following redox changes of the catalysts.

“…[28] For instance, the Lecommandoux group has developed a fast and simple approach for generating multicompartmentalized polymeric materials using emulsioncentrifugation. [29] The technique allows the encapsulation of multiple compartments containing unique contents, which could provide great advantages in multi-step catalysis as well as biomedical applications.…”

There has been increasing interest in utilizing bottom-up approaches to develop synthetic cells. A popular methodology is the integration of functionalized synthetic membranes with biological systems, producing “hybrid” artificial cells. This Concept article covers recent advances and the current state-of-the-art of such hybrid systems. Specifically, we describe minimal supramolecular constructs that faithfully mimic the structure and/or function of living cells, often by controlling the assembly of highly ordered membrane architectures with defined functionality. These studies give us a deeper understanding of the nature of living systems, bring new insights into the origin of cellular life, and provide novel synthetic chassis for advancing synthetic biology.

Vesicles are representative mimic systems for natural lipid membranes. Th is chapter summarizes recent research in the area of synthesis of vesicular structures from self-assembly of lipids, polymers, and small molecules in solutions and synthesis of hard vesicles by using vesicles as templates, like hollow silica spheres. Th en we provide an overview of the characterization tools of structures by microscopic and scattering method. Th e present study will focus on the discussion about the various types of self-assembled smart vesicles, which are revealed by their capability to respond to external stimuli such as temperature, pH, and others. In addition, the application of these smart vesicles toward molecular separation, chemical sensors, nanoreactors and microreactors, catalysts, and drug delivery vehicles are described.
