Abstract

When interfacial tension is increased from zero to infinity, the storage dynamic modulus predicted by Palierne's model varies in a nearly Gaussian fashion with almost equal asymptotic values at the limits of low and high interfacial tension. We report a simple physical discussion of such an effect.
