Abstract A small amphiphile that contains a coumarin unit and alkynyl groups, as a two- photon-cleavable segment and polymerizable groups, respectively, was designed and synthesized. The amphiphile showed a critical aggregation concentration of about 4.6× 10− 5 M and formed a vesicle-type assembly. The formed vesicles were stabilized by in situ “click” polymerization without altering their morphology. Hydrophobic and hydrophilic ...
