Course content
It gives the overview of the methods for surface tension measuring, interface tension and contact angle measuring and their suitability for the particular applications. It is also concerned with the principles and applications of the most important and most frequent methods. It also includes particular applications and procedures in specific cases in the field of research and industry. 1. Theoretical principles of surface tension as physical characteristics. 2. Surface and interface tension. 3. Viscosity-elastic properties. 4. Methods of surface tension measurement their classification, and their use. 5. Methods based on measurement of the strength. 6. Methods based on measurement of the shape. 7. Other methods included those non-conventional. 8. Summary of the methods and comparison of their practical use. 9. Measurement of the related physical characteristics or those necessary as additional data-density. 10. Measuring of the related physical characteristics or those necessary as additional data-viscosity. 11. Examples of particular applications in research. 12. Examples of particular applications in industry.
