Surface dilational rheology of mixed β-lactoglobulin/surfactant layers at the air/water interface

The general theoretical model by Garrett and Joos proposed in 1976 for the estimation of the dilational elasticity of mixed surfactant solutions, and also the theoretical model proposed by Joos for the limiting elasticity of such mixtures, demonstrate quite satisfactory agreement with experimental results obtained from the oscillating bubble shape method for mixtures of a nonionic surfactant and a protein, that is, beta-lactoglobuline and decyl dimethyl phosphine oxide, C10DMPO.
