The present review summarizes recent and important previous findings on properties of mucin layers and multilayers and ways to tailor their properties Specifically progress has been made in understanding the effects of mum type preparations ambient conditions and surface properties on adsorption and on mixed layer assembly including multilayers Apart from structural features the stability lubrication and biological functions of such layers are addressed (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved
