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…

Bending Energy-Driven Cooperative Patterning of 2D Colloids in Elastic 2D Fluids
Weiyue Xin, Maria M. Santore
Suspensions of colloidal microplates in contoured 2D elastic fluids sheets are dominated by the bending mechanics and shear rigidity of the plates and the contrasting in-plane shea…
