The term "surface tension" reflects the nature of intermolecular
forces in neighboring liquid and vapor phases. Surface tension
decreases with increasing temperature, and drops to zero value at
critical temperature. To a small extent, it is influenced by
pressure and the interface curvature. An Introduction to Surface
Tension discusses the possibility of a significant use of
surfactants, polymers, alkali and microbes for surface tension
alteration based on work done in the last decades, with new insight
on the chemical aspects, especially for gas recovery from shale by
altering surface tension. In closing, the authors propose a model
based on the concept that surfactant and polymer molecules rotate
during the process reaching the equilibrium surface state, which is
different from the conventional adsorption theory.
