A great variety of biologically relevant monolayers present phase coexistence characterized by domains formed by lipids in an ordered phase state dispersed in a continuous, disordered phase. From the difference in surface ...

In lipid monolayers with phase coexistence, domains of the liquid-condensed phase always present size polydispersity. However, very few theoretical works consider size distribution effects on the monolayer properties. ...

Thermotropic nematic liquid crystals in contact with surfaces at the nanoscale were studied by means of beyond equilibrium thermodynamics and computational simulations. In particular, nanoparticles of different geometries ...
