Each experimental method has a certain range of application, and so do the instruments for measuring dynamic interfacial tension and dilational rheology. While the capillary pressure tensiometry provides data for the shortest adsorption times starting from milliseconds at liquid/gas and tens of milliseconds at liquid/liquid interfaces, the drop profile tensiometry allows measurements in a time window from seconds to many hours. Although both methods together cover a time range of about eight orders of magnitude (10⁻³s to 10⁵s), not all surfactants can be investigated with these techniques in the required concentration range. The same is true for studies of the dilational rheology. While drop profile tensiometry allows oscillations between 10⁻³Hz and 0.2Hz, which can be complemented by measurements with capillary pressure oscillating drops and the capillary wave damping method (up to 10³Hz) these six orders of magnitude in frequency are often insufficient for a complete characterization of interfacial dilational relaxations of surfactant adsorption layers. The presented analysis provides a guide to select the most suitable experimental method for a given surfactant to be studied. The analysis is based on a diffusion controlled adsorption kinetics and a Langmuir adsorption model.
