Abstract

Describes the development of an apparatus to study the viscoelastic response and measure the complex shear moduli of Langmuir monolayers as functions of the frequency and amplitude of the applied sinusoidal shear strain. Measurement of the angle of rotation; Dynamic range for shear modulus measurement; Sensitivity of the apparatus.
