Colorimetric sensing properties of catechol-functional polymerized vesicles in aqueous solution and at solid surfaces

- Polymerized vesicles with combined adhesive properties and colorimetric response available in aqueous dispersion.
- Color of vesicles depends on polymerization conditions, composition and thermal curing.
- Confinement of vesicles into adhesive spots onto solid substrates.
- Color of surface adsorbed vesicles depends on normal pressure and shear.
