Let's gets vesicle ! Hydration of a layer of amphiphilic, hyperbranched copolymer molecules with short poly (ethylene oxide) arms leads to the self‐assembly of vesicles. Over time, the polymer layers transform due to successive hydration and fusion into a three‐dimensional vesicle stack (TDVS) consisting of interconnected sticky vesicles. Eventually, the TDVS divides into large compound vesicles (see image; scale bar=20 μm) due to external forces.
