Samenvatting (Engelstalig)

This thesis describes several strategies to encapsulate enzymes in complex coacervate core micelles (C3Ms). Bioconjugation, genetic engineering and crosslinking approaches were employed to improve the stability enzyme-containing C3Ms. The obtained results will contribute to the design of C3M enzyme carriers of which the stability and dynamics can be tuned to specific applications.
