Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, the structures of hybrid liposomes (HL) with lipid and non-ionic surfactant were investigated by small-angle neutron scattering, small-angle X-ray scattering, dynamic light scattering, and so on. As the results, the structures of HL are affected by the ratio of non-ionic surfactant as well as temperature. The effect of the temperature has been newly found by this research, which should be deeply studied further.
