      abstract     = {Binary mixtures of amphiphiles in solution can
                      self-assemble into a wide range of structures when the two
                      species individually form aggregates of different
                      curvatures. A specific example of this is seen in solutions
                      of lipid mixtures where the two species form lamellar
                      structures and spherical micelles, respectively. Here,
                      vesicles connected by threadlike micelles can form in a
                      narrow concentration range of the sphere-forming lipid. We
                      present a study of these structures based on self-consistent
                      field theory (SCFT), a coarse-grained model of amphiphiles.
                      First, we show that the addition of sphere-forming lipid to
                      a solution of lamella-former can lower the free energy of
                      cylindrical, threadlike micelles and hence encourage their
                      formation. Next, we demonstrate the coupling between
                      composition and curvature; specifically, that increasing the
                      concentration of sphere-former in a system of two bilayers
                      connected by a thread leads to a transfer of amphiphile to
                      the thread. We further show that the two species are
                      segregated within the structure, with the concentration of
                      sphere-former being significantly higher in the thread.
                      Finally, the addition of larger amounts of sphere-former is
                      found to destabilize the junctions linking the bilayers to
                      the cylindrical micelle, leading to a breakdown of the
                      connected structures. The degree of segregation of the
                      amphiphiles and the amount of sphere-former required to
                      destabilize the junctions is shown to be sensitive to the
                      length of the hydrophilic block of the sphere-forming
                      amphiphiles.},
