In this article, the authors measured the surface shear elasticity modulus (μ) together with the dilatational modulus of gel-like protein layers on an air/water boundary.Abstract:
We propose a simple new method for measuring the surface shear elasticity modulus (μ) together with the dilatational modulus (K) of gel-like protein layers on an air/water boundary. The stress response to compression/expansion of the interface in a Langmuir trough is measured at two different orientations of a Wilhelmy plate, collateral and perpendicular to the movable barrier in the trough. The interfacial tension is a tensorial quantity, whence the measured values depend on the direction of the length along which the stress acts. The fact that the deformation in the trough is uniaxial, i.e., a combination of dilatation and shear, is used to determine the respective two elastic moduli (K, μ). The experiment demonstrates that adsorbed layers of β-lactoglobulin (BLG), when subjected to small deformations, exhibit a predominantly elastic rheological behavior. This proves the existence of the two-dimensional gel, as a result from partial denaturation and unfolding accompanied with entanglement of the protein...read more

Orogenic displacement of protein from the air/water interface by competitive adsorption
TL;DR: The combined use of AFM with studies of surface tension and surface rheology have revealed the mechanism of protein desorption from the air/water interface: the surfactant is found to adsorb at defects in the protein network and these nucleated sites then grow, compressing theprotein network.

Properties of emulsions stabilized with milk proteins: overview of some recent developments
TL;DR: The physico-chemical properties of oil-in-water emulsions that are stabilized by milk proteins are determined largely by the nature of the adsorbed layer at the surface of the dispersed droplets as mentioned in this paper.
