Engler that has been used for both imaging and also for assessing mechanical, electrical, and surface properties.[7] However, AFM requires particles to be immobilized when imaging in liquid. Immobilization of particles and polymersomes in particular has been achieved by both covalent attachment [8] and noncovalent bonding, eg, by exploiting biotin/streptavidin complexation [9] or Coulombic interactions.[10]Here we present two strategies for the facile functionalization of polymersomes with biotin and their subsequent immobilization on streptavidin-coated surfaces. This generic approach enables force spectroscopy mapping (FSM)[11] to image neutral polymersomes in an aqueous environment. As illustrated in Figure 1A, the first approach employs supramolecular functionalization by the addition of commercially available Biotin-1, 2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[biotinyl (polyethylene glycol)-2000](Biotin–PEG–DSPE) to an amphiphilic block copolymer mixture. The second approach is the chemical functionalization of the block copolymer with biotin. In both cases, a poly ((2-methacryloyloxy) ethyl phosphorylcholine)-block-poly (2-(diisopropylamino) ethyl methacrylate)(PMPC 25–PDPA 70) diblock copolymers were used. PMPC–PDPA polymersomes are pH-sensitive and have been reported to efficiently enter cells and deliver their cargo within their cytosol with no toxic
