Self-assembly of vesicular structures. (a,b) Photographs of gold nanoparticles with mixed PEG and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) (Au@PEG/PMMA) film on the glass bottle surface (a) and plasmonic vesicles in water (b). (b,c) SEM (c) and TEM (d) images of the plasmonic vesicles (GVs) assembled from amphiphilic gold nanoparticles coated with PEG-b-polystyrene (Au@PEG-b-PS). Scale bars, 200 nm (c) and 50 nm (d). (e) Hydrodynamic diameter distribution of the Au@PEG-b-PS vesicles. (f) UV-visible spectra of Au@PEG-b-PS (black line) and vesicles (red line).
