This review provides a comprehensive discussion of the current state-of-the-art methods for characterizing non-aqueous foams, and critically evaluates the advantages and limitations of each method. It also presents a concise overview of the current understanding of the mechanisms and methods used for stabilizing and destabilizing non-aqueous foams. Open questions for future investigations are discussed as well.
Investigation into the physics of foaming has traditionally been focused on aqueous systems. Non-aqueous foams, by contrast, are not well understood, but have been the subject of a recent surge in interest motivated by the need to manage foaming across industrial applications. In this review, we provide a comprehensive discussion of the current state-of-the-art methods for characterizing non-aqueous foams, with a critical evaluation of the advantages and limitations of each. Subsequently, we present a concise overview of the current understanding of the mechanisms and methods used for stabilizing and destabilizing non-aqueous foams. We conclude the review by discussing open questions to guide future investigations.
