Abstract:
Herein, an ultrastable and reusable stomatocyte nanomotor using a photo-crosslinkable block copolymer is presented. After photo-crosslinking, the resulting nanomotors equipped with a covalently crosslinked membrane, are able to withstand the destruction of organic solvents, resist the corrosion of strong acidic and alkali solutions, and repeatedly move many times.
