Abstract

Vesicles formed from synthetic amphiphiles in aqueous solution undergo gel to liquid crystal transitions. The melting temperatures depend on alkyl chain length and counter ion. The melting process involves small patches of monomers in the bilayers. DSC experiments highlight the importance of the protocols used in the preparation of the vesicular solutions.
