Surfactant crystals can stabilize liquid foams by adsorbing onto bubble surfaces, preventing coarsening and coalescence. Controlling the amount of crystals can lead to ultra-stable foams, while the melting of crystals allows for the design of thermoresponsive foams. The field is expected to grow in the coming years, contributing to the engineering of new soft materials for various applications.
Surfactant crystals can stabilize liquid foams. The crystals are adsorbed at bubble surfaces, slowing down coarsening and coalescence. Excess crystals in the liquid channels between bubbles arrest drainage, leading to ultrastable foams. The melting of crystals upon raising the temperature allows thermoresponsive foams to be designed. In the case of oil foams, the stabilization by crystals received substantial renewed interest in the last 5 years due to their potential applications, particularly in the food industry. For aqueous foams, several reports exist on foams stabilized by crystals. However, these two kinds of liquid foams possess similarities in terms of stabilization mechanisms and the design of surfactant crystal systems. This field will certainly grow in the coming years, and it will contribute to the engineering of new soft materials not only for food but also for cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and biomedical applications.
