Mean bending modulus, kc, of a charged C18X2C2X2C18 bilayer membrane as a function of the ionic strength. If ideal (athermal) interaction between water and ions is assumed (χW − ion = 0), kc is decreasing (•); when ion hydration is taken into account (χW − ion = −2), two regimes become visible (○).
