Dynamic membranization results in core–shell coacervates that selectively localize particles and small molecules
We present a dynamic multiphase coacervate system that enables selective molecular partitioning, mimicking cellular compartmentalization. This pH-responsive platform separates enzymatic products based on polarity and exhibits enhanced colloidal stability for prolonged use. These advances position multiphase coacervates as robust tools for catalysis, synthetic biology, and bio-inspired chemical systems.
