Abstract

Liposomes with PEG-modified surfaces are amenable to nanocarrier applications and can be prepared via two PEGylated lipid incorporation routes: before and after extrusion (i.e., co-extrusion and post-insertion, respectively). The current study quantifies the processing influence on PEG chain partitioning between the interior and exterior liposome surfaces for the first time using small angle neutron scattering.
