The surface tensions, interfacial tensions and densities of conjugate solutions of compositions lying in the miscibility gap were measured for two ternary systems, viz. benzene-ethanol-water and n-hexane-acetone-water, at 25 °C.

The surface tensions, interfacial tensions, and densities of conjugate solutions of compositions lying in the miscibility gap were measured for three ternary systems, viz. tert-butyl methyl ether-water-ethanol, tert-butyl methyl ether-water-tert-butyl alcohol, and tert-butyl methyl ether-water-butan-1-ol, at 25 °C.

We have measured (du Nouy ring and maximum bubble pressure methods) suspension–air surface tensions of aqueous suspensions of montmorillonite and have observed that these surface tensions are larger than those of pure water at the same temperatures. Further measurements have shown that dispersed montmorillonite also increases the suspension–toluene interfacial tension compared with that of pure water–toluene. Similar measurements on aqueous suspensions of kaolinite have yielded suspension–air interfacial tensions with uncertainties as large as the observed (small) effect, and also shown that the suspension–toluene interfacial tension is decreased (opposite to the effect of montmorillonite) by amounts larger than the experimental uncertainties. Measurements of maximum bubble pressures at different flow rates have provided information about the effect of surface age on observed surface tensions.

This review presents a series of measurements of the surface and interfacial tensions we have been able to make using the micropipette technique. These include: equilibrium tensions at the air-water surface and oil-water interface, as well as equilibrium and dynamic adsorption of water-soluble surfactants and water-insoluble and lipids. At its essence, the micropipette technique is one of capillary-action, glass-wetting, and applied pressure. A micropipette, as a parallel or tapered shaft, is mounted horizontally in a microchamber and viewed in an inverted microscope. When filled with air or oil, and inserted into an aqueous-filled chamber, the position of the surface or interface meniscus is controlled by applied micropipette pressure. The position and hence radius of curvature of the meniscus can be moved in a controlled fashion from dimensions associated with the capillary tip (~5–10 μm), to back down the micropipette that can taper out to 450 μm. All measurements are therefore actually made at the microscale. Following the Young–Laplace equation and geometry of the capillary, the surface or interfacial tension value is simply obtained from the radius of the meniscus in the tapered pipette and the applied pressure to keep it there. Motivated by Franklin’s early experiments that demonstrated molecularity and monolayer formation, we also give a brief potted-historical perspective that includes fundamental surfactancy driven by margarine, the first use of a micropipette to circuitously measure bilayer membrane tensions and free energies of formation, and its basis for revolutionising the study and applications of membrane ion-channels in Droplet Interface Bilayers. Finally, we give five examples of where our measurements have had an impact on applications in micro-surfaces and microfluidics, including gas microbubbles for ultrasound contrast; interfacial tensions for micro-oil droplets in oil recovery; surface tensions and tensions-in-the surface for natural and synthetic lung surfactants; interfacial tension in nanoprecipitation; and micro-surface tensions in microfluidics.

Producing ultra-low interfacial tensions and maintaining high viscosity is the most important mechanism relating to SP flooding for enhanced oil recovery. The interfacial tension between surfactant (PJZ-2 and BE)/polymer solution and Zahra oil was evaluated in the work. Based on the evaluatiojn of interfacial tension, the polymer FP6040s/surfactant BE system was selected as the SP flooding system for Zahra oil field.

Surface tension (γ, mN/m) of potassium halide salts with water and interfacial tension (IFT) (±0.01 mN/m) of benzene interfaces with water are reported at 298.15 K temperature. The 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 mol kg-1 potassium fluoride ( KF ), chloride ( KCl ), bromide ( KBr ) and potassium iodide ( KI ) solutions were studied. The KCl, KBr, KF and KI increased the surface tension by 5.2, 4.0, 3.1 and 3.0%, respectively, with salt–water interaction influence by anionic sizes. The surface tension of water from air–water to benzene–water interfaces is decreased by 51% due to the benzene–water mutual interaction with dipolar and π-conjugation. The KI, KF, KCl and KBr salts decrease the IFT by 63, 61, 61 and 56%, respectively, because of larger differences in sizes of the anions and the K + with individual salt. The KI developed stronger interactions with an induced potential of a large sized I - anion that held the water engaged and integrated the aqueous phase with higher interfacial tension. The dipolar and π-conjugation interaction model is proposed with biphasic systems.
