Self-Spreading of Phospholipid Bilayer in a Patterned Framework of Polymeric Bilayer by Fuyuko Tamura (4054588)

“…Then, natural lipid membranes (fluid bilayers) were introduced into the channels between polymeric bilayers by the self-spreading from a phospholipid reservoir. The spreading velocity could be fitted into a slope of −0.5 in a double logarithmic plot versus time due to the balance between the spreading force and resistive drag. …”
