  • Abstract
    We propose a method of the preparation for solvent-free lipid membranes over an array of micrometer-sized apertures from patterned lipid films using electroformation. We utilize micro-patterned Parylene masks to generate this array of micro-patterned lipid membranes over the array of apertures. By micropatterning the surface in this manner, we form uniformly-sized dome-shaped bilayers.
