The research team led by Prof. Jiang Lingxiang at SCUT published a study titled 'UniversalMembranization of Synthetic Coacervates and Biomolecular Condensates Towards Ultrastability andSpontaneous Emulsification' in Nature Chemistry. The team developed Condensate-AmphiphilicPolymers (CAPs), which universally stabilize 'coacervate-water' interfaces and achieve ultrastability andspontaneous emulsification of synthetic coacervates and biomolecular condensates. CAPsmembranized droplets function as a 'molecular bodysuit' as they demonstrate exceptional stability notonly in aqueous media but also under high-salinity, extreme pH, and organic solvent conditions.

This material shows promising applications in developing intelligent drug delivery systems and novelfunctional materials. Furthermore, it demonstrates potential for simulating cellularcompartmentalization and molecular transport processes, providing innovative tools for research inartificial cell engineering, organelle biomimetics, and bioengineering applications.
