Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Self-propelling movement of oil droplets associated with formation of giant vesicles on/in the surface of an oil droplet at the site opposite that of the direction of motion was observed. Fluorescence microscopic study using a synthesized fluorescent indicator confirmed that formation of the vesicular molecule occurred through the coupling reaction between a reactive lipophile and a micellar amphiphile in an aqueous dispersion.</jats:p>
