Folded drops : A skinlike folded drop surface is formed by the coadsorption of two components from different phases at the chloroform/water interface (see picture). Both pure β ‐lactoglobulin and mixtures of α ‐dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and β ‐lactoglobulin can form the skinlike film; the lipid accelerates this process by coadsorption with the protein. Atomic force microscopy provided information on the morphology of the complex film and confirmed the formation of a multilayer film at the liquid/liquid interface.
