About mechanism of foam stabilization by solid particles

The main objective of the research was to study the properties of the foam and foam films stabilized by solid particles. The properties of the foam films were compared with the analogous ones of the emulsion films. The experiment provided the rheological characteristics of the dispersion medium. The research provided the study of the correlation of the contact angle, the shear stress, the surface tension and the radii of aggregates by the solid particles and the modifier concentration. The effect of the foam film stabilization by the solid particles is significant. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
