Vesicles of surfactants in aqueous solution have received considerable attention because of their use as simple model systems for biological membranes and their applications in various fields including colloids, pharmaceuticals, and materials. Because of their architecture, vesicles could prove useful as âsoftâ templates for the synthesis of âhard materialsâ. The vesicle phase, however, has been challenging and difficult to work with in the construction of hard materials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
