Abstract
Herein, a convenient and general method to simultaneously fix and functionalize polymeric vesicles with sulphydryl groups by the co‐self‐assembly of poly(ethylene oxide)‐block‐poly[3‐(triethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate] (PEO‐b‐PTESPMA) and 3‐mercaptopropyltrialkoxysilane in an aqueous solution is reported. The presence of sulphydryl groups across the vesicle membrane has been confirmed by using an energy‐filtered technique during TEM analysis and by capturing Au nanoparticles.

## Abstract A well‐defined amphiphilic block copolymer bearing a reactive azide group at the interface of two blocks, poly(ethylene oxide)(‐azido)‐__block__‐polystyrene (PEO(‐__N__~3~)‐__b__‐PS), has been successfully synthesized via a combination of end group transformation and atom transfer radic
