Supported lipid bilayer self-spreading on a nanostructured silicon surface
We report on the self-spreading behavior of a supported lipid bilayer (SLB) on a silicon surface with various 100 nm nanostructures. SLBs have been successfully grown from a small spot of a lipid molecule source both on a flat surface and uneven surfaces with 100 nm up-and-down nanostructures. After...

| Zusammenfassung: | We report on the self-spreading behavior of a supported lipid bilayer (SLB) on a silicon surface with various 100 nm nanostructures. SLBs have been successfully grown from a small spot of a lipid molecule source both on a flat surface and uneven surfaces with 100 nm up-and-down nanostructures. After an hour, the self-spreading SLB forms a large circle or an ellipse depending on the nanostructure pattern. The results are explained by a model that shows that a single-layer SLB grows along the nanostructured surfaces. The model is further supported by a quantitative analyses of our data. We also discuss the stability of the SLB on nanostructured surfaces in terms of the balance between its bending and adhesion energies |
