Buckled Membranes for Microstructures
Based on energy variation methods we calculated the deflection of membranes under the combined load of an external pressure and an internal lateral stress. A lateral load gives rise to buckling once a critical load is exceeded. The combination of transversal loads and lateral loads changes the properties of the membrane (and other structures) in the vicinity of the buckling load: The membrane d...
متن کاملCurvature-undulation coupling as a basis for curvature sensing and generation in bilayer membranes.
We present coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations of the epsin N-terminal homology domain interacting with a lipid bilayer and demonstrate a rigorous theoretical formalism and analysis method for computing the induced curvature field in varying concentrations of the protein in the dilute limit. Our theory is based on the description of the height-height undulation spectrum in the presenc...
متن کاملCurvature instability in membranes
2014 A simple, thermodynamical model was proposed some time ago [1, 2] to describe the physical properties of various systems for which the curvature elastic energy plays an important role. The basis of this model is provided by the notions of effective rigidity and spontaneous curvature. Here we consider the case of bilayer membranes and generalize the model for situations where small adsorbed...
متن کاملBuckled membranes in mixed-valence ionic amphiphile vesicles.
Amphiphilic molecules can form closed-shell structures that are determined by competing attractive and repulsive forces. Since supramolecular shape has its roots in intermolecular interactions, the interplay of electrostatic, hydrophobic, and steric forces can generate nonspherical structures. Here we show that anionic and cationic amphiphiles of unequal charge can coassemble into small buckled...
متن کاملSilicon Active Microvalves Using Buckled Membranes for Actuation
Design considerations and experiments have been made for obtaining a new type of active microvalves using silicon buckled membranes. The properties of the buckled membranes permitting to obtain high deflections and to actuate them more convenient are demonstrated. A thermal actuation using an aluminium ring layer heated with a polysilicon resistor is analysed. The polysilicon and the aluminium ...
