Abstract
In this chapter we consider several issues related to curtain coating: (i) The stabilization of the curtain through the reduction of the surface tension of the liquid/air interface; (ii) The measurement of the dynamic surface tension of that interface; and (iii) The response of the curtain to pressure fluctuations.
