On the measurement of the surface pressure in Langmuir films with finite shear elasticity
We investigate the use of the Wilhelmy plate method to measure the surface pressure in a solid-like Langmuir film under compression. Layers of the protein hydrophobin, which exhibits a high shear elastic modulus, are spread and compressed in a Langmuir trough. The resulting isotherms are classified...
