Figure 1

Log-Log plots of scattering intensities from a dispersion of vesicles.

(a) shows the scattering from a dispersion of thin rods with high aspect ratios forming a network (Step I in Figure 3). The temperature at which this intensity was acquired was 15°C. All curves lie along a line following , where . The jump in the slope of the intensity is at 6.68 nm after which the slope is 4 and in the Porod regime. (b) shows the scattering from a dispersion of vesicles at 45°C (Step II in Figure). The characteristic distance, represented by the peak intensity at , corresponds to the bilayer thickness estimated to be 7.14 nm.
