Abstract
Phospholipid molecules spontaneously form giant unilamellar vesicles when dispersed in an aqueous solution. These are often used as models of biological cells, e. g. the red blood cell and have technological applications as drug delivery systems. To stabilize these vesicles, polymerizable phospholipids have been developped1–3.
