Abstract

A combination of the hydrodynamic theory of damping of capillary waves by compressible monolayers and of the experimental equilibrium pressure vs. area curves was used to calculate the wave damping coefficient vs. area curves for poly(dimethylsiloxane)s. The results are in qualitative agreement with the complex wave damping behavior observed by Garrett and Zisman.
