The surface tension of 1,2-dimethyl-3-N-hexadecyl imidazolium tetrafluoroborate (Im BF4) as a function of concentration has been measured. Between 10−5 and 4× 10−4 mol/L, the surface tension decreases with increasing imidazolium concentration. Aggregate formation appears to occur at a concentration near 4× 10−4 mol/L for temperatures between 50 and 75 ◦C. Small angle neutron scattering measurem...

in this study 152 bacterial strains were isolated from the contaminated oils in the southwest of iran. hemolysis was used as a criterion for the primary  isolation of biosurfactant producing-bacteria. fifty five strains had haemolytic activity , among them tweleve strains were good biosurfactant producers by measuring surface tension and emulsification activity.two microorganism showed the high...

by considering the fact that the surface tension of a real fluid arises from a combination of both repulsive and attractive forces between molecules, a new expression for the interfacial tension has been derived from scaled particle theory (spt)  based on the work of cavity formation and the interaction energy between molecules. at the critical temperature, the interfacial tension between coexi...

in order to compare effect of magnetic field and frigate surfactant to enhance the efficacy of iodosulfuron-methyl-sodium plus mesosulfuron-methyl (chevalier) to control wild oat, a greenhouse experiment of dose-response was conducted. treatments were 0, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 doses g a.i. ha-1 of chevalier (i) without treatment, (ii) with frigate % 0.1 v/v, (iii) with magnetic field, and (iv) fri...
