Measurements by capillary pressure tensiometry, under microgravity conditions aboard the International Space Station, supplied a consistent set of reliable results for the dynamic interfacial tension and for the interfacial dilational viscoelastic modulus, quantitatively characterizing the dynamics of Span-80 adsorbed layers at the paraffin-oil/water interface. The experiments were executed at three different temperatures, i.e., 20, 30 and 40 °C, according to a pre-established built-in time-line in the orbiting facility. The interfacial area was subjected to perturbations with various functional forms (square pulses, ramps and harmonic oscillations), at three consecutive amplitudes (5%, 10% and 20%). Each experiment was performed in three successive repetitions, in view of an advantageous telemetered data redundancy. The interfacial responses to imposed perturbations, for the studied minimal surfactant concentration of Span-80 in paraffin-oil (that is (2 ÷ 3) × 10−5 mol/dm3) revealed a diffusion-controlled adsorption mechanism, definitely matching the Lucassen & Van den Tempel model in the frequency-domain representation. The interfacial responses also showed a linearity range up to the 20% amplitude. Interfacial relaxation responses to transient interfacial perturbations substantially validated the diffusion-controlled model for the adsorption mechanism, in the time-domain representation.
