Electroformation of Giant Vesicles on Indium Tin Oxide (ITO)-Coated Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) Electrodes [PDF]
Membranes, 2011 Electroformation of cell-sized lipid membrane vesicles (giant vesicles, GVs) from egg yolk phosphatidylcholine was examined using a poly(ethylene terephthalate) sheet coated with indium tin oxide (ITO-PET) as the electrode material.

Investigation of Transport in OECTs with Electrochemical Strain Wave Microscopy. [PDF]
SmallElectrochemical strain waves (ESWs) are generated in mixed conductors by alternating charge injection at a contacting electrode. They propagate into the device channel through combined charge transport and swelling. AFM experiments map the local amplitude and phase of ESWs in organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs), providing quantitative insight ...

Photomanipulation of Minimal Synthetic Cells: Area Increase, Softening, and Interleaflet Coupling of Membrane Models Doped with Azobenzene-Lipid Photoswitches. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh), 2023 Using giant unilamellar vesicles, Langmuir monolayers, supported lipid bilayers, and molecular dynamics simulations it is shown that membranes doped with the photoswitchable lipid azobenzene‐phosphatidylcholine (azo‐PC) can increase their area by ≈25%, undergo a ten‐fold decrease in bending rigidity, become thinner, and increase their specific membrane

Photoswitchable Endocytosis of Biomolecular Condensates in Giant Vesicles. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)This work demonstrates efficient, rapid and reversible light‐guided modulation of membrane‐condensate interactions. Using giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) doped with the photolipid azo‐PC, membrane‐condensate wetting transitions are induced and characterized, enabling swift endocytosis over multiple cycles.

Advanced Electronic Materials, Volume 10, Issue 8, August 2024.A method is developed to electropolymerize PEDOT based organic mixed ionic electronic conductors into the nanochannels of tracketched membranes. Gated electronic and ionic transport through the membranes is investigated. The results demonstrate that the method gives access to high transconductance vertical OECTs fabricated without photolithography and ...
