D Hierarchical Organization in the Solution

Highly structured, 3-D nanoparticle-polymer nanocomposites possess unique magnetic, electronic, and optical properties that differ from individual entities, providing new systems for the creation of nanodevices and biosensors (Murray et al. 2000 Shipway et al. 2000). The choice of assembly interactions is a key issue in order to obtain complete control over the thermodynamics of the assembled system. The introduction of reversible hydrogen bonding and flexible linear polymers into the bricks and mortar concept gave rise to system formation in near-equilibrium conditions, providing well-defined stmctures. 

Vesicles and liposomes are versatile supermolecular systems and possess numerous potential applications in targeting agents, microreactors, encapsulations, and drug delivery. The Rotello group developed novel recognition-mediated polymersomes
