Physical Encapsulation of Interface Bilayers
… of biomolecular material system which features interface lipid bilayers capable of hosting a wide variety of natural and engineered proteins. This research builds on the droplet interface bilayer (DIB) platform which first demonstrated that, through self-assembly, lipid-encased water droplets …

Design and Testing of a Hydrogel-Based Droplet Interface Lipid Bilayer Array System
… for a meso-scale hydrogel-based lipid bilayer array system. Two design concepts are investigated as methods for forming Droplet Interface Bilayer (DIB) arrays. Both concepts use a base of patterned silver with Ag/AgCl electrodes patterned onto a flat polymer substrate. In one technique, …

Bilayer Network Modeling
… membrane potentials and ion currents through a bilayer network system. The modeling platform builds off of work performed by Hodgkin and Huxley in modeling cell membrane potentials and ion currents with electrical circuits. This modeling platform is built specifically for cell mimics where …

Experimental Measurement of the Utricle's Dynamic Response and the Mechanoelectrical Characterization of a Micron-Sized DIB
… otolith organ inspired accelerometer design is a droplet interface bilayer (DIB). A DIB is a lipid bilayer that is formed when the interface of two aqueous droplets, that contain free-floating lipids, are joined. The aqueous droplets are suspended in a nonpolar environment (oil) and the oil/water …

Lipid Bilayer Formation in Aqueous Solutions of Ionic Liquids
The formation of lipid bilayer membranes between droplets of ionic liquid is presented as a means of forming functional bimolecular networks for use in sensor applications. Ionic liquids are salts that have a number of useful properties, such as low melting points making them liquid at room …

Using Lipid Bilayers in an Artificial Axon System
… In this thesis, an artificial axon system using droplet on hydrogel bilayers (DHBs) in conjunction with alamethicin channels was developed to show properties of action potential signal propagation that occur in myelinated nerve cells. The research demonstrates that the artificial axon system is …

Droplet Interface Bilayers for Mechano-Electrical Transduction Featuring Bacterial MscL Channels
… (MS) channel MscL, when incorporated within a droplet interface bilayer (DIB). The activity of MscL channels in an artificial DIB system is demonstrated for the first time in this document. The DIB represents a building block whose repetition can form the basis to a new class of smart …
