Mechanics of bilayer membranes

The general mechanics of elastic deformations in bilayer membranes is developed, resulting in three elastic constants characterizing a bilayer surface. The theoretical analysis is applied to bilayer systems containing organic solvents (referred to as "solvent bilayers") and to planar bilayer membranes free of solvent (referred to as "nonsolvent bilayers"). The relationship between a normal surface traction (e.g. electrocompression resulting from transmembrane potential difference) and change in membrane thickness is investigated for the two types of bilayers. © 1975.
