Physical chemistry in foam drainage and coarsening

A Saint-Jalmes - Soft Matter, 2006 - pubs.rsc.org
This review covers recent advances in the study of foam drainage and coarsening, focusing
especially on the effective role of the foam chemical components on those aging processes …

Flow in foams and flowing foams

S Cohen-Addad, R Höhler… - Annual Review of Fluid …, 2013 - annualreviews.org
Aqueous foams are complex fluids composed of gas bubbles tightly packed in a surfactant
solution. Even though they generally consist only of Newtonian fluids, foam flow obeys …

Speckle-visibility spectroscopy: A tool to study time-varying dynamics

R Bandyopadhyay, AS Gittings, SS Suh… - Review of scientific …, 2005 - pubs.aip.org
We describe a multispeckle dynamic light scattering technique capable of resolving the
motion of scattering sites in cases that this motion changes systematically with time. The …

Rheology of liquid foam

R Höhler, S Cohen-Addad - Journal of Physics: Condensed …, 2005 - iopscience.iop.org
Liquid foams can behave like solids or liquids, depending on the applied stress and on the
experimental timescale. Understanding the origin of this complex rheology which gives rise …

Dynamics of coarsening foams: accelerated and self-limiting drainage

S Hilgenfeldt, SA Koehler, HA Stone - Physical review letters, 2001 - APS
The evolution of a foam is determined by drainage flow of the continuous (liquid) phase and
coarsening (aging) of the dispersed phase (gas bubbles). Free-drainage experiments with …

The von Neumann relation generalized to coarsening of three-dimensional microstructures

RD MacPherson, DJ Srolovitz - Nature, 2007 - nature.com
Cellular structures or tessellations are ubiquitous in nature. Metals and ceramics commonly
consist of space-filling arrays of single-crystal grains separated by a network of grain …

On the origin of the remarkable stability of aqueous foams stabilised by nanoparticles: link with microscopic surface properties

AC Martinez, E Rio, G Delon, A Saint-Jalmes… - Soft matter, 2008 - pubs.rsc.org
We have performed a quantitative study of the coarsening of foams stabilised by partially
hydrophobic silica nanoparticles. We have used a variety of techniques: optical and electron …

Whey protein soluble aggregates from heating with NaCl: physicochemical, interfacial, and foaming properties

C Schmitt, C Bovay, M Rouvet, S Shojaei-Rami… - Langmuir, 2007 - ACS Publications
Whey protein isolate was heat-treated at 85° C for 15 min at pH ranging from 6.0 to 7.0 in the
presence of NaCl in order to generate the highest possible amount of soluble aggregates …

On the possible role of surface elasticity in emulsion stability

D Georgieva, V Schmitt, F Leal-Calderon, D Langevin - Langmuir, 2009 - ACS Publications
We have measured the short-time and long-time elastic responses to compression of
various types of surfactant layers adsorbed at oil− water interfaces. We prepared reasonably …

The evolution of cellular structures

J Stavans - Reports on progress in physics, 1993 - iopscience.iop.org
A large class of evolving nonequilibrium systems, known collectively as cellular structures,
are composed of nearly-uniform domains of polygonal-like or polyhedral-like shape (in two …
