New controlled release systems produced by self-assembly of biopolymers and colloidal particles at fluid-fluid interfaces
Freestanding protein films are interesting for many applications ranging from microencapsulation to tissue engineering. Here, the authors use interfacial rheology to characterize the adsorption kinetics and the rheology of spider-silk films formed at an oil water interface. The high surface activity of the engineered spider-silk proteins results in a fast formation of highly stable films, which can be modified by the addition of phosphate ions to the solution.
