Equilibrium state of stratum corneum (SC) lipid bilayers in contact with keratin corneocytes; Interaction of nanoparticles and proteins with SC lipid bilayers; Understanding the role of strongly-asymmetric ceramides in the structure and integrity of SC bilayers. Tasks and methodology Modelling of strongly-asymmetric ceramide-1; Effects of adsorption of nanorods and nanospheres on lipid bilayers; Behaviour of Janus and patchy spheres and rod-coil diblock copolymers; Computational methods for determining elastic properties of functionalised bilayers.
