Dynamics of pearling instability in polymersomes: the role of shear membraneviscosity and spontaneous curvature

By Jinze Lyu and others
The stability of copolymer tethers is investigated theoretically. Self-assembly of diblockor triblock copolymers can lead to tubular polymersomes which are known experimentallyto undergo shape instability under thermal, chemical and tension stresses. It leads to aperiodic modulation of the radius which evolves to assembly-line pearls connected by tinytethers. We study the... Show more
