Abstract
The invention relates to self-assembled architectures formed from polymer-lipid blends, and in particular, to tubular and vesicular self-assembled architectures formed from polymer-lipid blends. The invention further relates to a method for forming the tubular and vesicular self-assembled architectures. The invention provides a composition comprising a lipid and an amphiphilic block copolymer, wherein the amphiphilic block copolymer is capable of undergoing self-assembly to form an architecture of a first geometry, wherein the composition undergoes self-assembly to form a bilayer architecture enclosing a volume of a second geometry, wherein the second geometry is different from that of the first geometry.
