The synthesis of a novel vesicle-forming surfactant monomer, i.e., of di(undecenyl) phosphate is reported. Vesicles formed from this monomer were irradiated by ..gamma.. rays for the production of polymeric vesicles. Polymerization was studied in conjunction with the model of the monomeric vesicles and the structure of the polymers was primarily studied with /sup 1/H-NMR spectra. It was further established that polymerized vesicles retain the structure of their monomeric counterparts while exhibiting higher stability than the unpolymerized vesicles.
