Hydrostatics of Spherical thin Films

  • Chapter
Surfactants in Solution

Abstract

The hydrostatic approach is applied to spherical films to define the film tension and the surface tensions of the two interfaces and to generalize the definition of the disjoining pressure to the case of systems with curved surfaces. Equations relating the thermodynamic parameters with the components of the pressure tensor are derived.
