The lipid bilayer is the most basic structural element of cell membranes. This work covers topics that range from the origin of the lipid bilayer concept, to the available applications and experimental techniques. Each chapter in this volume is self-contained and describes a group's research, providing detailed methodology and key references.

Describing the properties of lipid bilayers and examining biomembrane phenomena, this book presents practical methods for the formation and study of lipid bilayers with either aqueous or metal-lipid bilayer interfaces. It intends to treat planar lipid bilayers as a different type of interfacial adsorption phenomena.
