摘要：

Understanding and controlling vesicle shapes is fundamental challenge in biophysics and materials design. In this paper, we employ the Monte Carlo method to investigate the shape of soft vesicle induced by semiflexible polymer outside in two dimensions. The effect of bending stiffness k of polymer and the strength epsilon(VP) of attractive interaction between vesicle and polymer on the shape of vesicle is discussed in detail in the present paper. It is found that the shape of vesicle is influenced by k and epsilon(VP). Typical shape of vesicles is observed, such as circular, cigar-like, double vesicle, and racquet-like. To engineer vesicle shape transformations is helpful for exploiting the richness of vesicle geometries for desired applications.
