Frustrated shapes of solid domains in fluid membrane vesicles: From rolls and folds to crumples and wrinkles
Geunwoong Jeon, Anthony N. A. Prempeh, Maria M. Santore +1
Fluid-solid composite vesicles, comprising 2D solid domains integrated into a topologically-closed fluid bilayer membrane, exhibit complex morphologies arising from the geometric f…
Sculpting 2D Crystals via Membrane Contractions before and during Solidification
Hao Wan, Geunwoong Jeon, Gregory M. Grason +1
When phospholipids crystallize within the otherwise fluid membranes of giant unilamellar vesicles, the resulting molecularly-thin "2D" solids exhibit great variety in their morphol…
Thermal Preconditioning of Membrane Stress to Control the Shapes of Ultrathin Crystals
Hao Wan, Geunwoong Jeon, Gregory M. Grason +1
We employ the phospholipid bilayer membranes of giant unilamellar vesicles as a free-standing environment for the growth of membrane-integrated ultrathin phospholipid crystals poss…
Shape equilibria of vesicles with rigid planar inclusions
Geunwoong Jeon, Justin Fagnoni, Hao Wan +2
Motivated by recent studies of two-phase lipid vesicles possessing 2D solid domains integrated within a fluid bilayer phase, we study the shape equilibria of closed vesicles posses…
Flowering of Developable 2D Crystal Shapes in Closed, Fluid Membranes
Hao Wan, Geunwoong Jeon, Weiyue Xin +2
The morphologies of two-dimensional (2D) crystals, nucleated, grown, and integrated within 2D elastic fluids, for instance in giant vesicle membranes, are dictated by an interplay…
