Age-dependent capillary thinning dynamics of physically-associated salivary mucin networks
Human whole saliva consists of a physically-associated network of mucin molecules. The interchain physical associations control the rheological characteristics of the solution and in particular, the lifetime of filaments and threads. Measurements show that the shear rheology of salivary mucin soluti...
