Mechanical and Electrical Interaction of Biological Membranes with Nanoparticles and Nanostructured Surfaces

In this review paper, we theoretically explain the origin of electrostatic interactions between lipid bilayers and charged solid surfaces using a statistical mechanics approach, where the orientational degree of freedom of lipid head groups and the orientational ordering of the water dipoles are con...
