Abstract
We have proposed a theoretical model of interaction of ionic compounds (ionic adsorbate or ionic drugs), with multilamellar-liposomes, by me ans of their electrokinetic property variation with the ionic compound concentration. In this work, we show the complete development of the model proposed. Its theoretical results have been analysed to study th e influence on the zeta-potential value of the following: number of me mbranes, size, shear-plane situation, critical concentration of format ion (ccf), and the ionic compound concentration which annuls the zeta- potential value of the multilamellar-liposomes formed.
