Electric-field-induced topological changes in multilamellar and in confined lipid membranes
Di Jin, Yu Zhang, Jacob Klein
It is well known that lipid membranes respond to a threshold transmembrane electric field through a reversible mechanism called electroporation, where hydrophilic water pores form…
Tuning energy dissipation via topologically electro-convoluted lipid-membrane boundary layers
Di Jin, Jacob Klein
It was recently discovered that friction between surfaces bearing phosphatidylcholine (PC) lipid bilayers can be increased by two orders of magnitude or more via an externally-appl…
Neutral polyphosphocholine-modified liposomes as boundary superlubricants
Weifeng Lin, Nir Kampf, Jacob Klein
Boundary lubrication is associated with two sliding molecularly thin lubricated film-coated surfaces, where the energy dissipation occurs at the slip-plane between lubricated films…
Interactions Between Bilayers of Phospholipids Mixture Extracted from Human Osteoarthritic Synovial Fluid
Yifeng Cao, Nir Kampf, Marta Krystyna Kosinska +2
Duncan Dowson, whom this issue commemorates, was a world leader in the field of biotribology, with prolific contributions both in fluid-based and boundary lubrication of biological…
Lipids and lipid-mixtures in boundary layers: from hydration lubrication to osteoarthritis
Yifeng Cao, Jacob Klein
The hydration layer surrounding the phosphocholine headgroups of single-component phosphatidylcholine (PC) lipids, or of lipid-mixtures, assembled at an interface greatly modifies…
Long-ranged attraction between disordered heterogeneous surfaces
Gilad Silbert, Dan Ben-Yaakov, Yael Dror +3
Long-ranged attractions across water between two surfaces that are randomly covered with (mobile) positive and negative charge domains have been attributed to induced correlation o…
