Elasticity of polymer vesicles by osmotic pressure: An intermediate theory between fluid membranes and solid shells
The entropy of a polymer confined in a curved surface and the elastic free energy of a membrane consisting of polymers are obtained by scaling analysis. It is found that the elastic free energy of the membrane has the form of the in-plane strain energy plus Helfrich's curvature energy [Z. …
