| Abstract | In this work, we investigate the alterations of the physicochemical, morphological, and thermotropic characteristics of conventional, stealth, and chimeric DPPC (dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine) liposomes, caused by the incorporation of PEGylated lipid and block copolymers with different architectures and compositions. 1,2-Dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[Methoxy(Polyethylene glycol)-3000] (DPPE-PEG 3000) is the PEGylated lipid, poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PEO-b-PCL) is the block copolymer, and poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline)-grad-poly(2-phenyl-2-oxazoline) (MPOx) is the gradient block copolymer, which are selected for preparing the liposomal systems. Light scattering techniques and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used in order to extract information on the physicochemical/thermodynamic balance of the prepared liposomal systems. The physicochemical characteristics and the morphology via fractal analysis of these chimeric nanoassemblies were found to depend on the composition of the polymeric component, while DPPC liposomes were used for comparison reasons (reference system). The incorporation of polymeric components into liposomes promotes a structural rearrangement of lipid bilayers and affects their behavior, as DSC experiments indicated. The fluidity, the intervesicle interactions and the cooperativity of structural elements of liposomes were also changed significantly by polymer addition. It could be concluded that the different macromolecular architectures of the polymeric guest affect the thermotropic behavior of liposomal membrane by producing new metastable phases, and consequently promote new insights in the field of biophysical concept for designing and developing chimeric advanced drug delivery nano systems (aDDnSs). |

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.
