Polymersome

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-009200",
  "term": "Polymersome",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A self-assembled vesicular structure formed by block copolymers in a selective solvent, characterized by a polymeric membrane enclosing an aqueous core. These structures are analogous to liposomes but offer enhanced stability and tunable membrane properties due to the polymeric nature. Polymersomes are explored for drug delivery, diagnostics, and nanoreactors.",
