Complexity in a Simple Self-Assembling System : Lecithin-Water-Ethanol Mixtures Exhibit a Re-Entrant Phase Transition and a Vesicle-Micelle Transition (VMT) on Heating

We report surprising results for the self-assembly of lecithin (a common phospholipid) in water-ethanol mixtures. Lecithin forms vesicles (∼100 nm diameter) in water. These vesicles are transformed into small micelles (∼5 nm diameter) by a variety of destabilizing agents such as single-tailed surfac...
