Experiments with liposomes made from different types of lipids showed that the local phase-change did not depend on the choice of lipids, the size of the liposomes or the size of the nanoparticles.

Overview of the different classes of lipid-based nanoparticles. Particle/droplet sizes among the different types can range from ~50-500 nm. Image Credit: InProcess-LSP Liposomes in the form of ...
