The Janus Facet of Nanomaterials

Figure 3

2D SAXS pattern of polyethylene glycol (PEG) layered sterically stabilized liposomes (a), and the radially averaged 1D scattering curve as the function of the scattering variable (b). The value of is proportional to the scattering angle. The latter carries information about the structure of the phospholipid bilayer and the thickness of the PEG layer on the surface of the liposomes.
