Dilute droplets form upon changing the temperature of a phase separated polyelectrolyte complex coacervate. This provides an in situ approach to measure the interfacial tension between supernatant (dilute droplet) and dense coacervate by the deformed drop retraction (DDR) method. The aqueous coacervate, formed via a model 1:1 by charge stoichiometric polyelectrolyte blend, exhibits ultralow interfacial tension with the coexisting phase. DDR finds the interfacial tension scales as gamma = gamma(0)(1 - C-s/C-s,C-c)(mu), with mu = 1.5 +/- 0.1, gamma(0) = 204 +/- 36 mu N/m, and C-s,C-c = 1.977 mol/L. The value of mu independently validates the classical exponent of 3/2. The scaling holds between C-s/C-s,C-c of 0.75 to 0.94, the closest measurements to date near the critical salt concentration (C-s,C-c). The temperature dependence of the interfacial tension is consistent with observed lower critical solution phase behavior and classical scaling. A detailed account of the DDR method and validation of assumptions are demonstrated.
