Mechanics of inter-monolayer coupling in fluid surfactant bilayers
Fluid surfactant bilayers are composed of two mono-molecular sheets that are weakly held together by normal stresses. Except for viscous resistance, the monolayers are free to slide relative to one another — giving rise to “hidden” degrees of freedom within the composite structure. This thesis ex...
