Protein−Silicone Synergism at Liquid/Liquid Interfaces

In previous studies nonionic organofunctional silicones were shown to enhance the intimacy of protein−silicone interactions at solid−liquid interfaces. In the current studies the same phenomenon was shown to manifest itself, even more clearly, at liquid−liquid interfaces. Proteins or silicones by themselves were unable to impart stability to otherwise surfactant-free water-in-silicone oil emulsions. However, stable water-in-silicone oil …
