Thus, the hydrophilic head group and hydrophobic tail of lipids ensure assembly into the oriented bilayer array of cell membranes. The amphiphilic sheet, bilayer, and vesicle are now familiar mofits in biomimetic materials and structures. Synthetic liposomes are employed as biocompatible, biodegradable drug-delivery vehicles. Amphiphile assemblies may serve as templates mono-disperse nanoparticles are synthesized inside reverse micelles, and inorganic structures and materials such as ceramic tubules or mesoporous silica are formed around tubular micelles, rather as inorganics are patterned by vesicles in the formation of the exoskeletons of radiolarians and diatoms.

Drug delivery vehicles in the form of liposomes, polymersomes, and in various kinds of nanoparticles, have all been demonstrated from self-assembled methods (Stupp, 2010). 

TTie drug delivery vehicle can be formed as charged nanoparticles of different oil-like composition with the potential for functioning as an adjuvant. 

The approach of encapsulating NIR fluorophores by micelles formed by the self-assembly of amphiphilic polymers or block copolymers stems from the application of this kind of nanoparticle as a drug delivery vehicle, which has been eonsidered to be of great potential over the past decades. Generally, it involves the self-assembly of amphiphilie polymers or block copolymers upon interaction with water, spontaneously generating micelles with a hydrophobic core and a hydrophilic surface (Figure 5.14). ... 

Due to its unique viscoelastic properties, HA is used as a drug delivery vehicle particularly in the form of nanoparticles [64—67]. Figure 1.6 shows an example of self-assembled fluorescently labeled HA nanoparticles, which were used for tumor targeting. HA hydrogels have been used to deliver chemotherapeutics [66, 67], antibiotics [68] and growth factors/proteins [69, 70]. Composites of HA have also...
