TI  - Autonomous Ex Novo Chemical Assembly with Blebbing and Division of Functional 
      Polymer Vesicles from a "Homogeneous Mixture".

AB  - The chemical energy and radicals from an oscillating chemical reaction are used 
      to synthesize a polymer vesicle from a homogeneous solution of monomeric units. 
      Periodically formed radicals from the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (B-Z) reaction 
      initiate radical polymerization between a polyethylene glycol based chain 
      transfer agent (PEG-CTA) and hydrophilic acrylonitrile monomers in water. The 
      growth of a hydrophobic chain on the hydrophilic PEG chain induces self-assembly 
      of polymeric amphiphiles to form micrometer-sized vesicles entrapping an active 
      oscillating B-Z reaction. In our experimental conditions, the different chemical 
      environments inside and outside the vesicles contribute to enlarge the area and 
      diameter of the resulting self-assembled vesicles and, in some cases, promote 
      blebbing and division.
