hydrophoblc effect B Intermolecular Interactions C Interfaclal curvature D Lateral expansion …

A fluid lipid membrane transmits stresses and torques that are fully determined by its
geometry. They can be described by a stress-and torque-tensor, respectively, which yield …

A thermodynamic treatment of surfactant self-assembly in aqueous media is developed that
allows an a priori quantitative prediction of the aggregation behavior of surfactants, starting …

From simple micelles in water, nearly spherical aggregates of amphiphilic molecules, to
bicontinuous microemulsions, oil and water microheterogeneous mixtures stabilised by a …

A general theoretical framework for studying the adsorption of protein molecules on surfaces
with grafted polymers is presented. The approach is a generalization of the single-chain …

We study the statistics of a grafted polymer brush, consisting of a set of monodisperse chains
in solution, each attached irreversibly by one end to a flat surface. We use a self-consistent …

We present a detailed description of a molecular-thermodynamic approach which consists of
blending a molecular model of micellization with a thermodynamic theory of phase behavior …

We develop a microscopic‐level formulation for the curvature elasticity of monolayer and
bilayer systems of typical surfactant molecules. It is argued that both the bending and saddle …

Entropy alone can self-assemble hard nanoparticles into colloidal crystals of remarkable
complexity whose structures are the same as atomic and molecular crystals, but with larger …

We discuss the role coarse-grained models play in the investigation of the structure and
thermodynamics of bilayer membranes, and we place them in the context of alternative …
