Abstract

Dynamic protein-polymer surfactant films are highly hydrophilic and show a soft solid to hydrogel transition upon hydration to produce a swollen hydrogel. An unusual reversible autospreading/self-folding response is observed when the water-saturated films are transferred from water into air.
