“…Liposomes or lipid bilayer vesicles have been the subject of numerous studies because of their importance as models for more complex biological membranes, their potential use as microencapsulators for drug delivery and their applications in cosmetics (Sackmann, 1995;Gregoriadis, 1995;Teschke and de Souza, 2002). Depending on the preparation methods, these selfassembled macromolecular aggregates can exist as unior multilamellar lipid bilayer systems (Baszkin and Norde, 2000).…”
