Glycopolymer-based nanostructures are invaluable tools to both study biological phenomena and to design future targeted drug delivery systems. Polymerization-induced self-assembly, especially RAFT aqueous dispersion polymerization is a unique method to prepare such polymer nanostructures, as it enables the preparation of very-well-defined morphologies at very high concentrations. Here we describe the implementation of PISA to the synthesis of galactosylated spheres, wormlike micelles and vesicles, and the preliminary results of cell toxicity, cell uptake, and cargo delivering capacity of galactose-decorated vesicles.
