Abstract:To date, surface-assisted assembly of cell-like giant vesicles use planar surfaces and require the application of electric fields or dissolved molecules to obtain adequate yields. Here, we present the use of nanoscale surface curvature and hydrophilic surface chemistry to promote the high yield assembly of GUVs. We show that assembly on surfaces composed of entangled hydrophilic nanocellulose fibers results in an unprecedented 100,000-fold reduction in costs while increasing yields compared to extant technique… Show more
