## Description

- description: 'In the present study, the interactions between giant unilamellar vesicles
    (GUVs) and liquid droplets of oligo(styrene), oligo(butadiene), oligo(methyl methacrylate),
    and oligo(tert-butyl acrylate) were investigated using fluorescence microscopy.
    GUVs were used in a homogeneous fluid state or in a phase-separated state consisting
    of either a liquid-disordered (Ld) phase and a solid-ordered (So) phase, or a
    Ld phase and a liquid-ordered (Lo) phase. The effects of plastic oligomers on
    membrane structures vary depending on the oligomer type. Oligo(styrene), oligo(butadiene),
    and oligo(tert-butyl acrylate) droplets were homogeneously embedded between the
    monolayer leaflets, whereas the oligo(methyl methacrylate) droplets were bound
    to the bilayers through inhomogeneous membrane structures, regardless of the lipid
    composition. The bilayer phase separations were retained after oligomer incorporation,
    except for the Ld/So phase-separated bilayer exposed to oligo(tert-butyl acrylate).
    In this exceptional case, no domain structures were visible in the fluorescence
    images. In the Ld/So phase-separated bilayer, the oligo(styrene) and oligo(butadiene)
    droplets were distributed exclusively in the Ld phase, and were all pinned at
    the domain boundaries. In the Ld/Lo phase-separated bilayer, the oligo(styrene),
    oligo(butadiene), and oligo(tert-butyl acrylate) droplets invariably localized
    to the Ld phase, with approximately half anchored to domain boundaries. The data
    also suggested that in the Ld/So bilayer, oligo(methyl methacrylate) molecules
    were predominantly partitioned into the Ld phase, whereas in the Ld/Lo bilayer,
    they were slightly more soluble in the Ld phase than in the Lo phase. Furthermore,
    the slight solubility of oligo(methyl methacrylate) in water enabled its incorporation
    into homogeneous fluid bilayers via two pathways: transfer from an in-bilayer
    droplet to the matrix bilayer and transfer from aqueous solution.'
