Amphiphilic protein surfactant adsorption at the oil water interface

DOI

Amphiphilic protein surfactant interactions are becoming increasingly important in all aspects of soft condensed matter for drug delivery, flavour enhancement, foam stability and emulsification and yet a full understanding the nature and mechanism of protein-surfactant interactions at the hydrophobic air water and oil water interfaces remains elusive. We have recently observed synergistic and competitive adsorption of the class 2 fungal protein Hydrophobin HFBII with Tween like ethoxylated surfactants at the air water interface, and are curious to see how this translates to a more realistic and relevant hydrophobic oil water interface. This is part of the basis of an industrial collaborative research agreement between Unilever R&D, ISIS and University of Oxford(PS-2011-1238), and is the focus of this proposal for SANS beam time on SANS2D using our established oil water emulsion route.
