Graphical Abstract
Taking on new functions: By using liposomes as temporary self-assembled scaffolds, nanocapsules with uniformly sized nanopores are formed. The as-formed nanopores have a single carboxy functional group, which can be converted into an acyl chloride group and then into an amide group (see picture).
