In this work, three types of magnetic vesicles were spontaneously produced, using 1-methylimidazolium bis- (2-ethylhexyl) phosphate (imim-DEHP) as surfactant and ferritesnanoparticles (Fe3O4 and NiFe2O4). Subsequently, the vesicles were covered in chitosan to improve their stability and biocompatibility. A physicochemical characterization of thevesicles was performed to verify if the nanoparticles are inside the vesicles. It was found that magnetic nanoparticles were successfully encapsulated in the prepared vesicles.
