We investigated the mean size antdhi cbkinleasyse ro f the vesicles formed. In order to shed light on the thermodynamic softa tbhiel ivteys icular phase negative and positive temperature jump experiments from thcee antd sjiangle phases were performed. The idea is, should the structures obtainge dop pfosllitoew tinemperature jumps be in agreement, the vesicular phase should be naa tmhiecra mlold yy stable phase.
