title: Cholesteryl hemisuccinate-cholesterol interaction: miscibility properties of the sterols.
abstract: Miscibility of cholesterol and cholesteryl hemisuccinate was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and small-angle X-ray scattering. In an excess of cholesterol, above 2:1 mol ratio, phase separation takes place into a mixed phase and an almost pure cholesterol phase.
