Viscosity and dynamic surface tension measurement: A guideline for appropriate measurement
Dynamic surface tension measurements play a critical role in interfacial activities for liquids with varying viscosities. Understanding the rate at which the interface attains the equilibrium, for surface tension measurements, after the formation of a new interface is of significant interest. Although surface tension is independent of viscosity, the time required for a new surface to form (equilibrium/relaxation time) is influenced by viscosity. The measured surface tension value is accurate on…
