A dispersion of soybean lecithin in water leads to the formation of multilamellar vesicles (MLVs), which on sonication break down into small unilamellar vesicles of approximately 50 nm in diameter. The addition of polymeric molecules in the liposomal system is thought to provide the liposomes with a
