The phase transition of liposomal bilayer dispersed in aqueous solution. Heating above the melting temperature (Tm), the phase of bilayer transits from “solid” gel phase (Lβ: hexagonal lattice untitled chain or Lβ’: quasi hexagonal array with titled chain) (ordered state) to liquid crystalline phase (Lα) (disordered state). Cooling below Tc, the phase of bilayer transits from “solid” gel phase (Lβ or Lβ’) (ordered state) to subgel phase or crystalline phase (Lc) (ordered state).
