Mixtures of long- and short-chain phospholipids can spontaneously form uniform unilamellar vesicles (ULVs) with diameters 50 nm (polydispersities of <0.3) or less. The morphology of these ULVs has mainly been characterized using small angle neutron scattering (SANS), a technique highly suited for the study of hydrogenous materials. Once formed, these ULVs have turned out to be highly stable and show great promise as imaging and therapeutic carriers.
长链和短链磷脂的混合物可以自发形成直径50纳米(多分散性小于0.3)或更小的均匀单层囊泡(ULV)。这些ULV的形态主要通过小角中子散射(SANS)来表征,这是一种非常适合研究含氢材料的技术。一旦形成,这些ULV已被证明具有高度稳定性,并作为成像和治疗载体显示出巨大潜力。
