Figure 5. A) Absolute value of the impedance | Z |( f ) and
phase angle I( f ) of a pore-spanning membrane on CPEO3-
functionalized porous alumina in the presence of a vesicle
suspension composed of DPhPC/DOPC 6:4 (Ŷ) 4 hours,
(Ƒ) 9 hours, (Ɣ) 12 hours, (ż) 15 hours and (Ÿ) 22 hours
after the addition of LUVs. The arrow indicates the time
course of the experiment. Of the two discernable disper-
sions at the beginning, only one dispersion is found at the
end of the incubation period. Electrolyte: 0.1 M NaCl. 35 B)
Scheme depicting the hypothesized intermediate state dur-
ing pore-spanning membrane formation, which leads to
two dispersions in the impedance spectra together with an
equivalent circuit representing the two membranes ( R m1 ,
C m1 and R m2 , C m2 ) and the electrolyte resistance R el . C) Al-
ternative equivalent circuits to model the impedance data,
which feature two discernable dispersions with R m1 , R m2 ,
C m1 and C m2 and the electrolyte resistance R el .
