Langevin studies liquid interfaces and interfacial rheology, the flow of matter at interfaces between liquids, or between a liquid and a gas. She is particularly interested in foams and emulsions and has made significant contributions relating the mechanical properties of interfaces to the stability of foams and emulsions. She has had a major role in bringing together scientists and mathematicians from multiple disciplines to develop the field of foam and emulsion science.[5] Her books include Light Scattering by Liquid Surfaces and Complementary Techniques (1992)[6] and Emulsions, microemulsions and foams (2020).[7]
