Vesicle templating presents a unique opportunity to construct submicrometer hollow particles. These authors give an overview of recent developments, discussing both polymerization inside the vesicle membrane (see Figure), and growth on the outer surface of the vesicle. Successful vesicle templating requires an understanding of the interactions between the vesicle bilayer, the polymer precursor, and the growing material.
