The linear-dependence of adhesion strength and adhesion range on temperature in soft membranes

摘要: Abstract The adhesion of a soft membrane plays central role for the functionality many biological and engineering systems, from cell to advanced materials. In this work, we demonstrated via combination statistical mechanics analysis molecular dynamics (MD) simulations that membrane-buffered interface could be significantly modulated due thermally induced surface corrugations in membrane. Not expected classical theories, strength is highly temperature-sensitive reduces linearly with increasing temperature. Through analysis, dependence on temperature found result ripples which facilitate long-range between like graphene sheets or lipid bilayers substrate. results MD agree well analysis. Such surprising findings may pave way understand kinetics systems where interaction membranes extra-cellular environments pivotal.
