| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated the phase separation and the spontaneous membrane deformation in charged lipid membranes consisting of negatively charged lipids and neutral lipids by experimental, theoretical, and numerical simulation methods. Moreover, we analyzed the fusion and motion of W/O emulsions under DC electric field. The formation of phase-separated structures and membrane morphological changes can be induced by controlling the electrostatic interaction between charged lipids. From these findings, we revealed the order formation under the electrostatic interactions. These obtained results are expected to lead to understandings of various biocellular functions and foundations of industrial applications.
