Foams

Part of the book series: Foams ((APPLIED PHYS,volume 10))

Abstract

Foams, being colloidal systems, can be prepared either by dispersion or by condensation, which is also known as agglomeration. In the dispersion methods, the future disperse (or discontinuous) phase is initially available as a large volume of gas, and this is then comminuted and mixed with the dispersion medium (often designated as the continuous phase), which, in a foam, is a liquid. In the condensation methods, the future dispersed material originally is present as a solute, that is, as molecules dissolved in the liquid. When these molecules combine to larger aggregates (i.e., bubbles), foams may be obtained.
