Contribution
It introduces a theoretical framework connecting film properties with shear wave measurements for films on elastic solids.
Findings
Derived dispersion relations for shear waves in amphiphilic films.
Established relationships between film viscosity, density, and wave damping.
Provided insights into experimental measurement of film properties.
Abstract
The dynamics of amphiphilic films deposited on a solid surface is analyzed for the case when shear oscillations of the solid surface are excited. The two cases of surface- and bulk shear waves are studied with film exposed to gas or to a liquid. By solving the corresponding dispersion equation and the wave equation while maintaining the energy balance we are able to connect the surface density and the shear viscocity of a fluid amphiphilic overlayer with experimentally accessible damping coefficients, phase velocity, dissipation factor and resonant frequency shifts of shear waves.
