Abstract
⺠Liposomes with hydrophobic Fe3O4 nanoparticles in bilayer were prepared and studied. ⺠Saturation concentration of Fe3O4 in bilayer was confirmed by different methods. ⺠The embedded hydrophobic nanoparticles modify the microstructure of lipid bilayer. ⺠The embedded hydrophobic nanoparticles provide better membrane fluidity. ⺠The hydrophobic nanoparticles enlarge nonpolar domain and free volume in membrane.
