Inthis work, three types of magnetic vesicles were spontaneously produced, using1-methylimidazolium bis- (2-ethylhexyl) phosphate (Imim-DEHP) as surfactant andferrites nanoparticles (Fe3O4 and NiFe2O4).Subsequently, the vesicles were covered in chitosan to improve their stabilityand biocompatibility. A physicochemical characterization of the vesicles wasperformed to verify if the nanoparticles are inside the vesicles. It was foundthat magnetic nanoparticles were successfully encapsulated in the preparedvesicles.
