Abstract

We report the observation of bilayer fragments, some of which close to form vesicles, over a large range of pH at room temperature from mixtures of single-chain biocompatible commercially available nontoxic alkyl carboxylic surfactants after neutralization with HCl. The pH at which the morphological transitions occur is varied only by changing the ratio between two surfactants: the alkyloligoethyleneoxide carboxylate and sodium laurate. The effect of aging of the mixed surfactant systems in the pH region desired for dermatologic application (4.5 < pH < 7) is also studied. Finally, we show results of cytotoxicity studies on the surfactant mixtures.
