| Abstract: | The synthesis of a novel vesicle-forming surfactant monomer, i.e., of di(undecenyl) phosphate is reported. Vesicles formed from this monomer were irradiated by γ rays for the production of polymeric vesicles. Polymerization was studied in conjunction with the model of the monomeric vesicles and the structure of the polymers was primarily studied with 1H-NMR spectra. It was further established that polymerized vesicles retain the structure of their monomeric counterparts while exhibiting higher stability than the unpolymerized vesicles. |
