Introduction to Interfacial Rheology

Interfacial rheology is a branch of science studying thin films that are formed at air-liquid or liquid-liquid interfaces. These films can be found both in vivo, such as pulmonary surfactants, and in industrial applications such as food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and oil. Interfacial properties of the thin films determine how the system is behaving when the interface is deformed.

Interfacial rheology can be studied with various different techniques, including pulsating drop, oscillating barriers, and interfacial shear rheometers.
