A viscoelastic regime in dilute hydrophobin monolayers

We show unexpected viscoelastic response in dilute conditions for hydrophobin layers subjected to compression in a Langmuir trough. The surface pressure, surface dilatational and shear viscoelasticity, and layer thickness, are probed by combining four different experimental techniques: Wilhelmy plat...
