Membranes - Real membranes
Want to model accurately the underlying microscopic dynamics
=> calculations require high performance computers.
Artificial amphiphilic membranes are a lively research field;
applications in
- industry,
- medicine,
- cosmetics.
Membranes able to close in on themselves forming vesicles
(small closed surfaces) designed to open up and release their
load when the `correct' physical chemical conditions are found.
=> useful as drug carriers.
