| Abstract | The pH-dependent transformation of micro-sized giant vesicles comprised of amphiphilic poly(methacrylic acid)-block-poly(methyl methacrylate-random-methacrylic acid) was investigated in order to explore the possibility of using the giant vesicles as artificial models of biomembranes. The vesicles prepared by the photopolymerization-induced self-assembly in an aqueous methanol solution retained their spherical shape and size when placed in water at pH 7.1. The vesicles were disrupted by a pH increase and finally dissociated into micelles at pH 12.8. The vesicles were reconstructed by decreasing the pH to 7.5; however, they had a film-like morphology due to the interaggregation by the salt generated during the neutralization process. The film-like morphology was transformed into spherical vesicles when placed in an aqueous methanol solution. The reconstructed spherical vesicles included budding and hand-shaped vesicles, indicating that spherical vesicles were formed by the budding separation and by way of a bilayer-rod transition. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
