Drops and Bubbles in Interfacial Research

After a general introduction into the mechanics of liquid menisci, these chapters are dedicated to methods based on drops or bubbles. Describing the accomplishments to make use of drops and bubbles in fundamental research and application, these provide the theoretical basis, a description of experimental set-ups, and experimental examples.
