Vesicles as osmotically stressed capsules
Emir Haleva, Haim Diamant
Vesicular capsules are used to carry biochemicals in biology and liposome technology. Being water-permeable with differing interior and exterior compositions, they are necessarily…
Law of corresponding states for osmotic swelling of vesicles
Primoz Peterlin, Vesna Arrigler, Emir Haleva +1
As solute molecules permeate into a vesicle due to a concentration difference across its membrane, the vesicle swells through osmosis. The swelling can be divided into two stages:…
Swelling of particle-encapsulating random manifolds
Emir Haleva, Haim Diamant
We study the statistical mechanics of a closed random manifold of fixed area and fluctuating volume, encapsulating a fixed number of noninteracting particles. Scaling analysis yiel…
Critical swelling of particle-encapsulating vesicles
Emir Haleva, Haim Diamant
We consider a ubiquitous scenario where a fluctuating, semipermeable vesicle is embedded in solution while enclosing a fixed number of solute particles. The swelling with increasin…
Swelling of two-dimensional polymer rings by trapped particles
Emir Haleva, Haim Diamant
The mean area of a two-dimensional Gaussian ring of monomers is known to diverge when the ring is subject to a critical pressure differential, . In a recent pu…
Smoothening Transition of a Two-Dimensional Pressurized Polymer Ring
Emir Haleva, Haim Diamant
We revisit the problem of a two-dimensional polymer ring subject to an inflating pressure differential. The ring is modeled as a freely jointed closed chain of N monomers. Using a…
