What is Topological Transformations Mediated by Bilayer Punctures: from Sponge Phases to Bicontinuous Monolayers and Reversed Sponges about?
The geometric and topological effects of the introduction of punctures into an amphiphilic bilayer are discussed. It is argued that punctures can be induced spontaneously in response to changing molecular dimensions or concentration. Transformation of sponge mesophases to bicontinuous monolayers, and the inversion of sponges for type I to II (and vice versa) are shown to be possible by puncture growth alone, without any membrane tearing or critical behaviour en route.
