Title

Structure of interacting soft interfaces

Abstract

The mutual interaction between the surfaces of biological membranes plays important roles in essential biological processes such as membrane adhesion, material transport in vesicles, and the formation of lamellar structures. Comprehensive understanding of the underlying physical interaction mechanisms relies on detailed and distance-dependent structural insight into molecular conformations. As demonstrated in our preliminary experiments, such distance-dependent structural information can be obtained by neutron reflectometry on amphiphilic double-monolayer architectures. Here, in order to investigate the structure of interacting membrane models at biologically most relevant weak interaction pressures, we propose a novel double monolayer architecture of interacting surfaces at the solid-liquid-liquid interface.
