Table 1.
Dynamic surface tension parameters calculated from kinetic curves (γt vs. time) of the adsorption of fluorinated quantum dots (QD_F) at the DCM/water interface under different protein amounts. Measurements are performed in triplicate and data are expressed as mean value ± standard deviation (SD).
