Abstract

Formation of lipid based hollow, spherical nanocapsules is reported. N-acylphosphotidylethanolamine (egg) derivatives equipped with divinylbenzoyl functionality in their headgroup region were synthesized to explore their polymerization behavior in vesicles. Polymerizable phospholipids alone produced vesicles as an aqueous dispersion and produced stable nanocapsules upon polymerization at room temperature. These structures survived a redispersed cycle following lyophilization and maintained their structural integrity in non-aqueous solvent.
