Amphiphilic diblock copolymers consisting poly(ethylene oxide) and spiropyran-based monomers containing the carbamate linkage self-assemble into polymersomes with hydrophobic bilayers. Spiropyran moieties within polymersome bilayers undergo reversible isomerization between hydrophobic spiropyran (SP, λ2 > 450 nm irradiation) and zwitterionic merocyanine (MC, λ1 < 420 nm irradiation).
