| Popis: | The rheological behavior of adsorption layers of β-casein formed at the air/water interface was studied by bubble tensiometry. It was observed that in some instances, the dilational modulus, e, has only an elastic component while in other cases it has both an elastic and a viscous component. The conditions where the elastic modulus is significant have been defined. In these conditions, the measured dilational modulus is practically equal to a physical quantity measured in equilibrium conditions. Until a surface pressure, π, of about 5 mN/m, it is proportional to the surface pressure. Referring to a multiblock polymer model, the proportionality coefficient y (e = yπ) is directly related to the fractal dimension of the polymer forming a pancake at the interface. An increase of temperature from 10 to 60 °C results in a decrease of y from 6.6 to 3.3, indicating that in these conditions the two-dimensional polymer changes from a partly collapsed structure to that of a two-dimensional self-avoiding walk.
