Giant vesicles in electric fields
This review is dedicated to electric field effects on giant unilamellar vesicles, a cell-size membrane system. We summarize various types of behavior observed when vesicles are subjected either to weak AC fields at various frequency, or to strong DC pulses. Different processes such as electrodeformation, -poration and -fusion of giant vesicles are considered. We describe some recent development...
متن کاملStability of Spherical Vesicles in Electric Fields
The stability of spherical vesicles in alternating (ac) electric fields is studied theoretically for asymmetric conductivity conditions across their membranes. The vesicle deformation is obtained from a balance between the curvature elastic energies and the work done by the Maxwell stresses. The present theory describes and clarifies the mechanisms for the four types of morphological transition...
متن کاملDynamics of three-dimensional vesicles in dc electric fields.
A numerical and systematic parameter study of three-dimensional vesicle electrohydrodynamics is presented to investigate the effects of varying electric field strength and different fluid and membrane properties. The dynamics of vesicles in the presence of dc electric fields is considered, in both the presence and absence of linear shear flow. For suspended vesicles it is shown that the conduct...
متن کاملMorphological transitions of vesicles induced by alternating electric fields.
When subjected to alternating electric fields in the frequency range 10(2)-10(8) Hz, giant lipid vesicles attain oblate, prolate, and spherical shapes and undergo morphological transitions between these shapes as one varies the field frequency and/or the conductivities lambda(in) and lambda(ex) of the aqueous solution inside and outside the vesicles. Four different transitions are observed with...
