Interfacial Structure of the Velvet Worm Prey Capture Slime
Velvet worms produce a rapidly rigidifying slime to catch their prey. Recent combined SAXS/SANS experiments showed that macroscopic rigidification upon, suggesting that the rigidification may instead be induced by the generation of interface with air (a hydrophobic medium). Here, we propose the use of neutron reflectometry (NR) to structurally characterize the outer surface of slime of the velvet worm when in contact with various hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces mimicking the conditions before and after slime ejection from the gland into the air.
