| Abstract
| - We report a novel composite: layered double hydroxides (LDHs) encapsulated in vesicles. It was found thatpositively charged Mg3Al-LDH nanoparticles can induce the spontaneous formation of vesicles in a mixtureof a zwitterionic surfactant, dodecyl betaine (C12BE), and an anionic surfactant, sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate (AOT), and importantly, we obtain simultaneously a novel composite of Mg3Al-LDHencapsulated in vesicles. The obtained composite is very stable and expected to be potentially used in drugdelivery and gene therapy.
