Show moreA semi-phenomenological calculation, accounting for van der Waals attractions and short range repulsions, is presented for an aqueous suspension of highly elongated lipid "tubules" and an acrylic surface. For a variety of conditions it is found that the Helmholtz potential has a hump a few kBT in height and located several micrometers from the wall. This barrier tends to prevent irreversible binding of tubules to the substrate, consistent with experimental observation. If the van der Waals attractions were sufficiently strong, however, the hump would vanish and the tubules would rapidly and irreversibly bind to the surface. © 1991.

Show moreA novel linear electro-optic effect is observed in a surface-stabilized chiral nematic cell above the Fréedericksz transition threshold field. The slow dynamic response indicates that this effect arises from the interfacial region which elastically couples to the bulk, rather than directly from the bulk. Moreover, evidence suggests that the primary effect is a spontaneous electric polarization very near the interface. Other possible contributions to this effect are discussed. © 1991 The American Physical Society.
