Notes:
Abstract A method as well as an experimental set-up are described allowing on-line surface tension measurements directly inside stirred reactors at any temperature. The method is based on the finding that the difference between the maximum and the minimum pressure during bubble formation correlates strongly with the surface tension of the surrounding solution. Examples of applications are given concerning the discrimination of different surfactant solutions, the formation of surface-active compounds during chemical reactions, and emulsion polymerizations.
