Abstract
Several experimental techniques such as 1H-NMR, light scattering and electron microscopy have been employed to study the self-assembly of aqueous dispersions of bipolar lipids and of their mixtures with monopolar ones. These experiments have shown that the theory of lipid self-assembly introduced by Israelachvili can still be applied to these compounds.
