Physical and surface chemistry: the relationship and interactions between lipid bilayers vesicles and lipid monolayers at the air/water interface; physical and chemical aspects of liposomes and some of their applications; formation and structure of reverse vesicles; thermodynamics and kinetics of inhomogeneous distribution of lipid membrane components; interaction of surfactants with phospholipid vesicles; shape fluctuation of vesicles; methods: characterization of vesicles and vesicular dispersions via scattering techniques; fluorescence probing of vesicles using pyrene and pyrene derivatives; the mechanochemistry of lipid vesicles examined by micropipet manipulation techniques; drug delivery: liposomes in drug delivery; liposomes and lipidic particles in gene therapy; liposomal amphotericin B(AmBisome): realization of the drug delivery concept; vesicles as topical drug delivery systems; diverse applications: photoenergy harvesting on two-dimensional vesicular assemblies; vesicles as imaging agents; liposomes in In Vivo immunology; triggered release from liposomes mediated by physically and chemically induced phase transitions.
