Abstract The influence of ionic surfactants (sodium-dodecylsulfate and cetyltrimethylammonium-bromide) on the thickness of gelatin foam films was investigated. The thickness of pure gelatin films was found to be 80 to 〈 100 nm. Maximum thicknesses are obtained within the range of the isoelectrical point. Foam films stabilized by gelatin-surfactant complexes are found to form common black films with a thickness of 8 to 12 nm. When the surfactant concentration exceeds the binding capacity of the gelatin the common black films turn into Newton-black films with a thickness comparable to that of a pure surfactant solution.
