Abstract
FRICTION between surfaces is normally either of the (a) continuous or (b) stick-slip type. Occasionally, however, as in the determination of the viscosity of ammonium oleate solution by means of the concentric cylinder method, a new type (c) is encountered provided the shearing-rate is sufficiently low. In this, chain-like micelles cause adhesion between the surfaces, this adhesion being then periodically broken down with violent movements.
