Seddon, R.H. Templer). 4. Phospholipid monolayers (H. Mhwald). 5. Physical basis of self- organization and function of membranes: physics of vesicles (E. Sackmann). 6. Lateral diffusion in membranes (P.F.F. Almeida, W.L.C. Vaz). 7. Molecular theory of chain packing, elasticity and lipid-protein interaction in lipid bilayers (A. Ben-Shaul). 8. Morphology of vesicles (U. Seifert, R. Lipowsky). 9. Material transport across permeability barriers by means of lipid vesicles (G. Cevc). 10. Applications of liposomes (D.D. Lasic). Part B: 11. Generic interactions of flexible membranes (R. Lipowsky). 12. Electrostatic properties of membranes: The Poisson-Boltzmann theory (D. Andelman). 13. Interaction in membrane assemblies (V.A.

Reviews

... Many of the topics covered here, such as the role of surface tension, the physical basis of the interactions between surfaces and the electrostatic properties of membranes, have not been extensively reviewed elsewhere. ... For those with a more general interest in the properties of membranes, the volume will provide excellent coverage of a less familiar literature. SGM Quarterly
