Summary The rest times of hydrocarbon oil droplets have been measured at the oil/sodium dodecyl sulphate solution interface. The existing equations, both physically derived and empirical, have been applied to the data obtained. In most cases the expressions used were not suitable for general application to our data. From a consideration of the distribution of droplet rest times about the mean we conclude that the lognormal distribution would be the most suitable. The graphical test of this distribution function gave a good fit in each case. The method is useful in the analysis of stability data; results for each system can be characterized by the two parametersM and σg.
