Novel catanionic vesicles from calixarene and single-chain surfactant.
The mixed system between p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene and tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide forms unilamellar vesicles after sonication of the aqueous dispersion. Furthermore these vesicles can be stored, without use of lyoprotectants, by lyophilization and then rehydration without change in size or shape.
