“…Thus, measurements have sometimes been performed without the benefit of a complete theoretical understanding of the dynamic interfacial phenomena under consideration, resulting in the partial accounting of the influence of bulk-phase viscous stresses at fluid interfaces (Langmuir 1936, Harkins & Meyers 1937, Davies 1957, confusion between the effects of interfacial-tension gradient and interfacial viscous phenomena (Derjaguin & Titievskaya 1957, Lucassen & van den Tempel 1972, Clint et al 1981, as well as ambiguities between the interpretation of: (a) dynamic interfacial tension a and (b) thermodynamic interfacial tension <r measured at a nonequilibrium surfactant adsorption (Clint et al 1981, Defay & Hommelen 1959. Throughout the perusal of these four chapters (6-9) it should be borne in mind that precise experimental values appear less commonly in the literature for interfacial rheological properties than for their bulk-phase counterparts.…”
