Different from concentric vesicles without spacing between the walls, the concentric vesicles with uniform spacing between the walls were rarely fabricated. We successfully fabricate the spaced concentric vesicles (SCVs) via RAFT dispersion polymerization, and continuous propagation of the residual...
