Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Shear-induced multilamellar vesicle (MLV) formation has been studied by coupling the small-angle neutron scattering technique with neutron spin echo spectroscopy. A 10% mass fraction of the nonionic surfactant pentaethylene glycol dodecyl ether in water was selected as a model system. The inter-bilayer interactions are controlled either by adding an anionic surfactant or an antagonistic salt. The membrane bending modulus showed an increasing trend with charge. The flow-induced layer undulations are in-phase between neighboring layers when the inter-lamellar interaction is sufficiently strong. On the other hand, in the case of weak inter-lamellar interactions, the flow-induced undulations are not in-phase, and greater steric repulsion leads to an increase in the inter-lamellar spacing with shear rate. Thus we concluded that the MLV formation occurs as the amplitude of the undulations gets larger and the steric interaction leads to in-phase undulations between neighboring membranes.
