Coacervates are a type of liquid-liquid phase separation that have protocellular properties. We characterized the interactions between different coacervate systems at different charge ratios and different liposome systems in order to investigate the possibility of bilayer formation on the surface of coacervates. Several of our systems achieved liposome assembly at the interface, but continuous bilayer formation was not observed.
