Nonionic surfactant vesicles (Niosomes) were prepared using polyoxyethylene alkyl ether (Brij 58).The impact of variation of the Brij: cholesterol molar ratio on the niosomal structure was studied. Fluorescence studies performed with the membrane probe 1,6-Diphenyl-1,3,5-triene (DPH) gave important...
