Surface tension is one of the main physical parameters of foams. The surface tension of Sodium Dodecyl Benzene Sulfonate (SDBS)solution and Triton solution are measured by the drop volume method,and at the same time CO2 saturated SDBS solution is also measured in this paper. It is found the solution concentration has an obvious effect on the surface tension. For SDBS solution, the surface tension gradually decreases with the increase of surfactant concentration while keeps constant after a certain concentration. For Triton solution, on the other hand, the surface tension always remains approximately constant in the studied concentration region. The surface tension of CO2 saturated SDBS solution is slightly higher than SDBS solution through experimental investigations.

Summaryβ-Casein, was enzymically modified by incubation with plasmin to yield γ-caseins and proteose peptones. Whole γ-, γ1-, γ2/γ3-caseins and whole proteose peptone (pp) were isolated from the hydrolysate mixture. The time dependence of surface tension at the air-water interface of solutions of β-casein and its plasmin derived fragments, at concentrations of 10−1 to 10−4% (w/v) protein, pH 7.0, was determined, at 25 °C, using a drop volume apparatus. The ranking of the proteins with respect to rate of reduction of surface tension, during the first rate determining step, at 10-2% (w/v) protein, was γ2/γ3 ≫ pp > whole γ- > γ1- > β-casein. The ranking of the proteins with respect to surface pressures attained after 40 min (π40) was concentration dependent. γ2/γ3-Caseins were found to be very surface active, decreasing surface tension rapidly and giving a high π40. γ1 Casein decreased surface activity somewhat faster than β-casein, but generally reached a lower π40. Whole γ-casein reflected the properties of both γ1 and γ2/γ3-caseins. Proteose peptone was found to decrease surface tension rapidly during the initial rate determining step; it gave a relatively high π40 at a bulk phase concentration of 10−3% (w/v) protein, but, it was the least surface active protein at 10−1 and 10−2% (w/v) protein.

Abstract Electrocapillary curves (surface tension γ as a function of the electrode potential E) for a series of room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) were measured using a mercury dropping electrode with the drop-weight (drop-volume) technique. The curves γ = f (E) for the Hg/RTIL interface have one maximum and may be approximated with a polynomial of sixth-order. There are no ‘humps’ in the curves. The interfacial tension of the Hg/RTIL system changes with potential E in a monotonic way. The second derivative of γ = f (E) leads to a polynomial of fourth order, indicating the capacitance of the Hg/RTIL interface. The potential of zero charge is within a relatively narrow range. The specific capacitance at the minimum is of the order 10 μF/cm2
