Vesicular structures in mixed block copolymer/surfactant solutions

Vesicular structures composed of different components are attracting significant attention from the soft matter community both in terms of basic understanding of such complex assemblies of amphiphiles and in view of potential nanotechnological applications. In this article current developments in research concerning mixed vesicular structures assembled through interactions between synthetic block copolymers and low molecular weight surfactants are highlighted. Some future directions and perspectives for further advancement in the field are also discussed.
