Lecture
This lecture explores the dynamics of self-assembly in oil and lipid systems, focusing on the formation of droplets and vesicles. It delves into the mathematical models describing the growth of aggregates, the critical micelle concentration, and the thermodynamics of pore formation in lipid bilayers. The discussion extends to the role of membranes in cellular processes, such as nutrient uptake and waste expulsion, and the thermodynamic considerations of pore formation in biological membranes.
