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.
Keywords: computational methods; emulsions; self-assembly; tripeptides; tunable properties.
