Graphical Abstract

Thumbnail image of graphical abstract

Photocrosslinking of recognition-induced polymersomes provides robust hollow spheres with tunable sizes from 3 to 15 μm (see figure). These capsules selectively integrate complementary nanoparticles into their walls, providing direct access to assemblies.
