Influence of nanoparticle–membrane electrostatic interactions on membrane fluidity and bending elasticity.

Highlights: [•] Electrostatic attractions increase the nanoparticles encapsulation in liposomes. [•] Interaction of nanoparticles alter the physical properties of liposomes. [•] Nanoparticles decreased the anisotropy values and increased the bilayer fluidity. [•] Neutral cobalt ferrite nanoparticles decreased the bending elasticity of liposomes. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
