Measuring the bending rigidity of microbial glucolipid (biosurfactant) bioamphiphile self-assembled structures by neutron spin-echo (NSE): interdigitated vesicles, lamellae and fibers
Niki Baccile, Ingo Hoffmann, Vincent Chaleix
Bending rigidity, k, is classically measured for lipid membranes to characterize their nanoscale mechanical properties as a function of composition. Widely employed as a comparativ…
