Cerasomes structure

Formation of cerasome assemblies is not limited to unintentional aggregation as described above. Subjecting the cerasome structure to LbL techniques could result in... 

This structure is called a cerasome because it has both a ceramic-like surface and a liposome-Uke cell structure. The cerasome is mechanically stable and can be further assembled into a multivesicle form without causing the vesicular structure to collapse. 

This technique can be applied to LbL assembly of cerasomes because, like silicas, they possess surface charge. Initial attempts entailed LbL assembly between cationic polyelectrolyte and anionic cerasomes with monitoring by using QCM, and where reasonable frequency shifts in the QCM response were observed. Morphology of the assembled structure was also confirmed...
