Size-controlled fabrication of supramolecular vesicles for the construction of conjugated polymer sensors with enhanced optical properties.

ABSTRACT

Polymerizable supramolecular monomer vesicles are readily fabricated by employing a hydrodynamic focusing method on a microfluidic chip. The polymerized diacetylenene nanovesicles, generated using the microfluidic method, display an improved fluorescence property compared to those prepared by employing a conventional bulk method. The flexibility of the vesicle size control by manipulating the flow conditions is another significant feature of the new microfluidic approach.
