This project attempts develop a protocol to synthesize negatively charged giant liposome for the purpose of immobilization onto nanostructures, such as Silicon Nanowires (SiNW) and Carbon Nanotubes (CNT). It is shown that, 2-Dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC), Phosphatidylserine (PS) and ch...
