Effective interactions between fluid membranes.
A self-consistent theory is proposed for the general problem of interacting undulating fluid membranes subject to the constraint that they do not interpenetrate. We implement the steric constraint via an exact functional integral representation and, through the use of a saddle-point approximation, transform it into a novel effective steric potential. The steric potential is found to consist of ...
متن کاملInteractions between charged surfaces mediated by stiff, multivalent zwitterionic polymers.
The interaction between like-charged objects in electrolyte solutions can be heavily altered by the presence of multivalent ions which possess a spatially distributed charge. In this work, we examine the influence of stiff, multivalent zwitterionic polymers on the interaction between charged surfaces using a splitting field theory previously shown to be accurate for the weak to the intermediate...
متن کاملHemocompatibility of zwitterionic interfaces and membranes
This focused review addresses the fundamental development of nonfouling zwitterionic poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) (polySBMA) coatings on a wide range of interfaces and membranes in our laboratory for use in the development of hemocompatible medical devices. The molecular designs of zwitterionic interfaces (for example, surface packing density, grafting coverage, polymer chain conformation an...

متن کاملInteractions of divalent calcium ions with head groups of zwitterionic phosphatidylcholine liposomal membranes.
The interaction of the divalent calcium ions with the zwitterionic lipid membranes was studied by measuring the lipid order parameter which is inversely proportional to the membrane fluidity. Small unilamellar lipid vesicles were prepared from 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine and then treated with different concentrations of divalent calcium ions. An increase in the order parame...
