Abstract
Breaking point: Switchable peptide surfactants are used to demonstrate that the extent of cross-linking in an interfacial surfactant layer can control the rate of emulsion coalescence. Pictured is the rupture of an aqueous thin film where the peptide layer lacks sufficient strength to prevent hole formation, but nonetheless dramatically slows the rate of hole expansion.Year: 2009 PMID： 19253928 DOI： 10.1002/cphc.200900023
