Self-sealing property

Description
“free edges” are quickly eliminated because they are energetically unfavorable - hydrophobic areas are in contact with water.  

The lipids will spontaneously seal and will always form a closed compartment.  
A small tear will be repaired.  A larger tear may lead to the break up of the membrane into separate vesicles.
