Abstract

This chapter is important as it provides a comprehensive understanding of the various classifications of liposomes, which are essential for designing effective drug delivery systems. Size and lamellarity liposome, composition, and preparation methods are the factors that determine the classification of liposome. The chapter emphasizes how these classes affect the size of liposomes, stability, and function, with particular attention to their use in drug administration.


Keywords: Liposome size, lamellarity, PEGylation, ligand-targeted liposomes, multifunctional liposomes, drug delivery.
