Abstract
We describe the apparently first reversible unbinding transition of fluid phosphatidylcholine bilayers. It is induced by minute concentrations of CrCl3 in aqueous 0.1 M NaCl solution. Mutual adhesion sets in at a threshold of 1.1 μM. The adhesion energy increases steeply with CrCl3 concentration up to 20 μJ/m2. It continues to rise with a much smaller slope until the transition becomes irreversible at ca. 40 μM.
