The hydrodynamics of laminar flow in a microfluidic device has been used to control the continuous self-assembly of gold nanoparticles (NPs) tethered with amphiphilic block copolymers. Spherical micelles, giant vesicles (500 nm-2.0 μm), or disk-like micelles could be formed by varying the flow rates of fluids. Such vesicles can release encapsulated hydrophilic species by using near-IR light.
