The elastic behavior of mixed bilayers composed of two amphiphilic components with different chain length (and identical head groups) is studied using two molecular level models. In both, the bilayer free energy is expressed as a sum of chain, head group and interfacial contributions as well as a mixing entropy term. The head group and interfacial terms are modeled using simple phenomenological but general expressions. The models differ in their treatment of the chain conformational free energy. In one it is calculated using a detailed mean‐field molecular theory. The other is based on a simple ‘‘compression’’ model. Both models lead to similar conclusions. Expressing the bilayer free energy as a sum of its two monolayer contributions, a thermodynamic stability analysis is performed to examine the possibility of spontaneous vesicle formation. To this end, we expand the bilayer free energy as a power series (up to second order) in terms of the monolayer curvatures, their amphiphilic compositions and the av...
