Ke presents: A tissue like printed material
by Villar, Graham and Bayley

background

  • multiple lipid droplets form lipid bilayers at their interface.
  • can arrange droplets in arrays manually, (droplets on 500 um diameter scale).
  • develop 3D printing strategy for assembling droplets of two colors.
  • pipette tips are emerged in oil containing phospholipids, which surround the aqueous drops as they are produced.
  • stepwise increase in conductance is from insertion into the membrane. Can also capacitate the non-pore containing membrane.
  • can use osmosis to induce folding.
