Abstract

The catalytic property of the silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) decorated polymeric vesicles were studied. Cross-linked polymeric vesicles were used as the templates for AgNPs deposition. The effect of the degree of polymerization (DP) of the hydrophilic block mPEG was evaluated and good shaped vesicles could be obtained with DP of mPEG at 43. Monomer molar ratio of DIPEMA/GlyMA had big effect on particle morphology, and pure polymeric vesicles could be produced when monomer molar ratio was equal to or higher than 7:3. The catalytic study indicated good catalytic property of the AgNPs decorated vesicles.
