Theory of self-assembly of hydrocarbon amphiphiles into micelles and bilayers
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple theory is developed that accounts for many of the observed physical properties of micelles, both globular and rod-like, and of bilayer vesicles composed of ionic or zwitterionic amphiphiles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phase behaviour of polyoxyethylene surfactants with water. Mesophase structures and partial miscibility (cloud points)
TL;DR: In this paper, a model phase diagram is deduced which shows phase structure as a function of surfactant volume fraction and micelle curvature, and two separate mechanisms are proposed for the lower consolute behaviour of polyoxyethylene (CnEOm) + water solutions (the cloud point).
Journal ArticleDOI
Theory of self-assembly of lipid bilayers and vesicles
TL;DR: A unified theory is developed that explains the formation of bilayers and vesicles and accounts quantitatively for many of their physical properties: properties including vesicle size distributions and bilayer elasticity emerge from a unified theory that links thermodynamics, interaction free energy, and molecular geometry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Micelles, vesicles and microemulsions
D. John Mitchell,Barry W. Ninham +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a theory of self-assembly of surfactant molecules into micelles and bilayers is critically examined and extended to include vesicles and microemulsions.
Journal ArticleDOI
A model for the packing of lipids in bilayer membranes
TL;DR: The "condensing" effect of cholesterol in mixed phospholipid-cholesterol films is seen as a taper-fray accommodation and the lipid distribution in erythrocyte membrane is shown to be conducive to a stable strain-free membrane.
