Computational Design of Multi-component Bio-Inspired Bilayer Membranes

Computational Design of Multi-component Bio-Inspired Bilayer Membranes

Our investigation is motivated by the need to design bilayer membranes with tunable interfacial and mechanical properties for use in a range of applications, such as targeted drug delivery, sensing and imaging. We draw inspiration from biological cell membranes and focus on their principal constitue...
