Abstract
When hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) is added to dioctadecyl dimethylammonium bromide (DOAB) vesicles in aqueous solutions, the gel to liquid crystal transition temperature is unaffected in the first s can of a differential scanning microcalorimeter. Subsequent scans are more complicated indicating that monomeric CTAB can penetrate the DOAB vesicles when the latter are in the liquid crystalline form.
