Experiments have been set up in this direction (Cheng and Luisi, 2003) utilizing extruded oleate vesicles having radii of 31.6 and 64.1 nm. For the same surfactant concentration, the total surface areas are the same for the two families of vesicles (neglecting the differences arising in aggregation number due to the differences... 

Figure 10.21 Larger vesicles grow faster than smaller ones a starting ratio 1 1 between larger and smaller vesicles becomes 3 2 and then 6 3 in the following generations (idealized). (Modified from Cheng and Luisi, 2003.)...
