The response of interfacial layers to deformations in size and shape depends on their composition. The corresponding main mechanical quantities are elasticity and viscosity of dilation and shear, respectively. Hence, the interfacial rheology represents a kind of two-dimensional equivalent to the traditional bulk rheology. Due to growing interest in the quantitative understanding of foams and emulsions, more works are dedicated to studies on interfacial rheology. This overview presents the theoretical basis for traditional and recently developed experimental tools and discusses their application to different interfacial systems. While dilational rheology provides information on the composition of mixed interfacial layers, the shear rheology gives answers essentially on structures formed at an interface. The most frequently used methods at present are the oscillating drop and bubble tensiometry methods for dilational deformations and oscillating ring/bicone rheometers for shear deformations.
