Contribution of the Hydration Force to Vesicle Adhesion on Titanium Oxide by Jackman, Joshua A., Zan, Goh Haw, Zhao, Zhilei, Cho, Nam-Joon

“…Herein, we investigated the influence of vesicle surface charge on vesicle adsorption onto titanium oxide and observed that electrostatic attraction is insufficient for vesicle rupture. Following this line of evidence, a continuum model based on the DLVO forces and a non-DLVO hydration force was applied to investigate the role of different interfacial forces in modulating the lipid–substrate interaction. …”
