Among the self-assembled nanostructures, hollow vesicles inspired us to mimic the functionality of reaction vessels, transport vehicles, and cell membranes in biological systems by fine-tuning their size and shape. The formation of vesicles containing wall partitioning at the liquid-liquid interface has been proposed as the spontaneous transition from elemental molecular building blocks; molecular coagulation to vesicles or spheres to vesicles or sheets to vesicles from both theoretical and experimental points of view. However, the real mode of how the liquid phase can be compartmentalized has rarely been reported. We will show the formation of well-defined BCP-vesicles in solution through TEM and present a strategy for customizing architecture. It shows the process of forming a vesicle by liquid-liquid phase separation under controlled conditions and transferring the elemental aggregates to the vesicles by the response to external heat.
