Investigation of the dependence of inferred interfacial tension on rotation rate in a spinning drop tensiometer.
The spinning drop tensiometer is widely used to study the interfacial properties of many systems. However, there have also been several reported limitations with the spinning drop tensiometer. In this paper, it is shown that there is a relationship between the measured interfacial tension and the rotation rate of the drop. A detailed investigation of this relationship is presented.
