 Surface tension experiments with individual device
• French Physicist Pierre Lecomte du Noüy (1883-1972): du
Noüy platinum ring method
• Ring is slowly lifted up from liquid surface in open disc
which is unsuitable for volatile solvents: Evaporation
• Ludwig Traube (1818-1876) German physician & co-
founder experimental pathology: Traub Stalagmometwer
• Cenco DuNouy Tensiometer & Wilhelmy Platinum-Iridium
Plate Tensiometer in open disc: Evaporates
• Symmetry in gravity is not maintained & difficult to
produce correct data
Survismeter is better for symmetric CF center
It is exemplary, fast, reliable & cost effective

 BMS: In the Petroleum Industry
• In petroleum technology, surface chemistry plays a vital role

to have the prior knowledge of surface tension/

viscosity/wetting co-efficient of the crude oil/air, crude

oil/brine (or water) and crude oil/solid surfaces in oil

recovery, corrosion inhibition, oil spill clean-up,

fluidization of bitumen, asphaltic emulsions, oil/water

separation and crude oil dehydration.

 BMS: Glue, Ink, Paint & Coatings
 Fluid surface tension is the intermolecular forces of attraction
between adjacent molecules. Surface tension dictates whether an ink,
paints, coating, or adhesive will wet and spread over, or retract from,
a solid surface.

 Two physical components (surface tension and viscosity) of ink

determine the print quality. These two factors affect the droplet
formation of the ink, which in turn affects the quality of the
resulting printout. For quality printing, ink viscosity must be
controlled.
• The adhesive will “wet” or cover the substrate,
when the Intermolecular forces between the glue
and the substrate are stronger than the
Intermolecular forces between the glue and glue.
• Good wetting occurs if the adhesive spreads out
over the substrate in a uniform film and in doing
so makes a lower degree contact angle between
the substrate and the adhesives.

Good wetting

• Poor wetting occurs when the adhesive forms droplets on the surface
making a higher degree contact angle.

Poor wetting
 BMS: In Pharmaceutical Industry
The pharmaceutical industry relies on viscosity to qualify the flow
behavior of drug materials for a variety of applications.

• Surface tension measures the IMF between drug particles and

liquid and thus liquid is penetrated in the pores of drug particle
displacing air from them to ensure wetting of the drugs.
• The way in which a topical ointment squeezes out of the tube
depends on the yield stress in the material.
• Customers pay for ointments and they expect ease of use when
applying them to the skin.
• In biotech and pharmaceuticals, the viscosity of protein and buffer
solutions used for quality checks.
FOOD and Beverages
In beverages, viscosity is an indicator of sugar content
and overall quality.
Polymer
Polymer scientists use viscosity to determine the
concentration of plastics in acid solutions
Soaps , Detergents, Foaming, Emulsifier & Cosmetics
Cosmetics and personal care products (shampoos, liquid
soaps, facial cleaners) because of their mildness on the skin
