Vesicles have attracted considerable attention recently because of many potential applications as well as intrinsic interest in the structures. The incorporation of various particles into vesicle walls has also received attention. One of the unsolved problems, in this context, is the controlled incorporation of particles into only the central portion of the vesicle walls, i.e. approximately halfway between the external and internal interfaces. In this paper, we describe a general method for the incorporation of particles into only the central portion, i.e. central 10-20%, of the vesicle walls. The strategy involves the use, as coatings on the particles, of diblock copolymers of a structure similar to that of the vesicle formers, which allows the particles to be preferentially localized in the central portion of the walls.
