Book Description
This book describes the most important experimental methods for characterizing liquid interfaces, such as drop profile analysis, bubble pressure and drop volume tensiometry, capillary pressure technique, and oscillating drops and bubbles. It presents practical experimental details as well as the underlying theoretical bases. In addition, the book covers a number of applications based on drops and bubbles, such as rising bubbles and the complex process of flotation. It also offers a discussion on wetting, characterized by the dynamics of advancing contact angles.
Editorial Reviews
Review
The book provides not only basic information for beginners who want to use a Standard method properly. Also experts in the field are provided with the most recent state of the art of the presented methods with respect to experimental peculiarities and the theoretical basis. The book can therefore be recommended for students as well as experts in fundamental and applied science and technologies dealing with dynamic liquid interfaces. Prof. Dr. Victor M. Starov, Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, Loughborough University in Tenside Surfactants Detergents, 49/1 (2012).
From the Back Cover
The book aims at describing the most important experimental methods for characterizing liquid interfaces, such as drop profile analysis, bubble pressure and drop volume tensiometry, capillary pressure technique, and oscillating drops and bubbles. Besides the details of experimental set ups, also the underlying theoretical basis is presented in detail. In addition, a number of applications based on drops and bubbles is discussed, such as rising bubbles and the very complex process of flotation. Also wetting, characterized by the dynamics of advancing contact angles is discussed critically. Special application like a double capillary arrangement for single drop manipulations, and the so-called fibre drop analyzer are presented as excellent examples for the use of drops in interfacial science.
