  1. Influence of osmotic forces and transbilayer membrane area imbalances on the stability and morphology of model membrane vesicles

    Mui, Barbara L.-S.University of British Columbia1993

    This thesis is focused on the effects of osmotic pressure and transbilayer area asymmetry on the morphology and stability of model lipid vesicle systems. These forces have been implicated in many diverse biological functions including membrane fusion, maintenance of cellular shape and membrane …

  2. Microscopic Forces and Flows due to Temperature Gradients

    Ganti, Raman SUniversity of Cambridge2018

    … flows induced by thermal gradients are caused by forces that act on atoms or molecules near an interface. These thermo-osmotic forces cannot, at present, be derived analytically or measured experimentally. Clearly, it would be useful to calculate these forces via molecular simulations, but direct …

    PANNUZZO, MARTINAUniversità degli studi di Catania2011

    … fraction of bound ions and the inter-membrane forces as a function of the surface charge density, fluid composition and solvation energies of ions. Results highlight the relevant role of the ion distribution in determining the exclusion of neutral polymer from the membrane gap provided the …
