Contribution of some relaxation processes to the fracture energy of segnetoelectric materials

Can Graphene Bilayers Be the Membrane Mimetic Materials?

“…At a higher level of abstraction which follows from the above considerations, similar ferroelectric phenomena are typical for the polymer-based Langmuir-Blogett films [82], while the latter are known to mimic synaptosomal membrane structures [83] and biomembranes [84] with electrochemical activity [85] and membrane affinity [86], which is interpreted either as the membrane adhesion measured using a tensiometer, or as a conjugative ability studied by means of coordination or supramolecular chemistry, or even as the immunochemical affinity characterized by immunofluorescent and immunoelectrophoretic methods. Thus, ferroelectric structures possess a number of functional characteristics providing their applicability in the active membrane modeling (an incorrect term "segnetoelectric" frequently used in Russian language periodicals is synonymous to the term "ferroelectric" [87,88]).…”
