POLYMERIC LIPID-MEMBRANES - PREPARATION, PROPERTIES AND APPLICATIONS

The paper reviews the latest data on construction and investigation of polymeric liposomes, made on the base of polymerizable phospholipid a nalogs. A variety of methods for initiation of polymerization reaction s in lipid bilayers are considered. The stability of polymeric membran es made of diacetylenic, dienic, styrenic, methacrylic, and thiolipids is analyzed comparatively. The problems of application of polymeric m embranes in modelling of intercellular recognition processes, in study ing phase transitions, and in biocompartable material designing are di scussed.
