Stimuli-responsive polymers and their use in biomedical applications have been widely investigated in recent years. These polymers change their physical properties such as water-solubility, when subjected to certain stimuli, for example change in temperature or pH. The main purp…

The stability of growing uni-lamellar vesicles is investigated using the formalism of nonequilibrium thermodynamics. The vesicles, which are assumed to be in an otherwise aqueous solution, are growing due to the accretion of lipids to the bilayer which forms the vesicle membrane…
