We have developed a technique for the simultaneous measurement of the surface tension and the viscosity of a liquid in a noncontact manner. In this method, a small linear deformation of the liquid surface is induced by a local dielectric force that is brought about by a knife-edge electrode. The surface tension and the viscosity are obtained from the shape of the induced meniscus and from the dynamic response of the surface, respectively. The surface tension obtained was examined in comparison with the values measured by the Wilhelmy plate method. We also measured time constants of the surface deformation for a variety of standard viscosity samples and obtained the relation between the time constant and the viscosity. The demonstrated advantage of the system is the ability to uniquely determine the surface tension and the viscosity.
