A series of tripeptides is shown to form emulsions with sequence tunable properties. Using a combination of simulations and experiments, it is shown that two types of oil‐in‐water emulsions may be produced, either forming stable interfacial nanofiber networks with remarkable stability, or more conventional surfactant‐like monolayers.
