Droplet networks, from lipid bilayers to synthetic tissues
An aqueous droplet in a solution of lipid in oil acquires a lipid monolayer coat. When two such droplets are brought together, they adhere through the formation of a droplet interface bilayer (DIB) (Fig. 1a). A high contact angle at the interface (Fig. 1a) indicates a strong interaction between the...
