Adsorption, Surface Viscoelasticity, and Foaming Properties of Silk Fibroin at the Air/Water Interface
Like other proteins, the natural silk fibroin (SF) extracted from domesticated silkworms can adsorb at the air/water interface and stabilize foam due to its amphiphilic character and surface activity. At the interface, the adsorbed SF molecules experience structural reorganization and form water-ins...
