Surface tension

TL;DR: The surface tension of liquid gallium has been measured using the sessile drop technique in an Auger spectrometer as discussed by the authors, where the surface tension in mJ/sq m is found to decrease linearly with increasing temperature and may be represented as 708-0.66(T-29.8), where T is the temperature in centigrade.

TL;DR: Water-in-oil emulsions made of water droplets dispersed in a continuous paraffin oil phase were prepared and stabilized with hydrophobic silica particles alone as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, a simple thermodynamic method for determination of the adsorption (amount per unit area) of ionic surfactant is described, which is obtained from the interfacial tension isotherm measured in the presence of arbitrary (and fixed) concentration of inorganic electrolyte.

TL;DR: It is shown that there can be phase transitions in the adsorbed phase which lead to hysteresis in kinetically controlled experiments and this simple molecular model is able to predict the change in the interface geometry without invoking the Kelvin equation or the macroscopic concept of surface tension.

TL;DR: Bubble growth in constant and time-dependent pressure fields has been formulated taking into account not only the effects of surface tension, inertia of liquid, heat conduction in the liquid, but also the effects that nonequilibrium at the liquid-vapor interface, and the varying density of the vapor bubble as discussed by the authors.
