In various microfluidic devices, surface tension and interfacial tension values are necessary to analyze the fluid behavior in microchannels, and evaluating the values of interfacial tension is especially important for gas-liquid and liquid-liquid flows. A pendant drop method is commonly used to measure the interfacial tension value; however, the pendant drop method requires strict accuracy in measuring the droplet size when the droplet has a nonspherical shape, as well as an accurate value of the density difference between the two liquids. In this work, a new measurement method called the "liquid bridge-inducing microscale contact method" has been developed in which the interfacial tension can be obtained from the bridging of two liquid droplets extruded from opposing ends of glass capillary tubes or formed on the ends of round metal rods. By measuring the radii of curvature of each liquid surface and interface, we calculate the Laplace pressure on the surface and interface, and derive the interfacial tension value using the Laplace equation. The results show that the values of interfacial tension obtained from the two methods are approximately the same and that the liquid bridge-inducing microscale contact method is capable of accurate interfacial tension measurements.
