Bicontinuous surfaces in self-assembling amphiphilic systems
U. S. Schwarz, G. Gompper
Amphiphiles are molecules which have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts. In water- and/or oil-like solvent, they self-assemble into extended sheet-like structures due to the hy…

Bending Frustration of Lipid-Water Mesophases Based on Cubic Minimal Surfaces
U. S. Schwarz, G. Gompper
Inverse bicontinuous cubic phases are ubiquitous in lipid-water mixtures and consist of a lipid bilayer forming a cubic minimal surface, thereby dividing space into two cubic netwo…
