Lamellarity of ultrasound assisted formations of dipalmitoyl-lecithin vesicles by Attila Bóta, Heinz Amenitsch, András Wacha

“…Formation of unilamellae of fully hydrated dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) was induced by a horn sonicator from multilamellar vesicles and followed by time-resolved synchrotron small angle X-ray scattering and direct visual morphological investigations by the means of transmission electron-microscopy combined with freeze-fracture. Without incubation the ultrasonication causes continuous increasing in temperature and transformation from the gel to rippled gel structures, then reaching the main transition, the formfactor of unilamellar structure appeared. …”
