Screening proteins for their potential use in foam applications is very laborious and time consuming. It would be beneficial if the foam properties could be predicted based on their molecular properties, but this is currently not possible. For protein-stabilized emulsions, a model was recently introduced to predict the emulsion properties from the protein molecular properties. Since the fundamental mechanisms for foam and emulsion formation are very similar, it is of interest to determine whether the link to molecular properties defined in that model is also applicable to foams. This study aims to link the exposed hydrophobicity with the foam ability and foam stability, using lysozyme variants with altered hydrophobicity, obtained from controlled heat treatment (77 °C for 0–120 min). To establish this link, the molecular characteristics, interfacial properties, and foam ability and stability (at different concentrations) were analysed. The increasing hydrophobicity resulted in an increased adsorption rate constant, and for concentrations in the protein-poor regime, the increasing hydrophobicity enhanced foam ability (i.e., interfacial area created). At higher relative exposed hydrophobicity (i.e., ~2–5 times higher than native lysozyme), the adsorption rate constant and foam ability became independent of hydrophobicity. The foam stability (i.e., foam collapse) was affected by the initial foam structure. In the protein-rich regime—with nearly identical foam structure—the hydrophobicity did not affect the foam stability. The link between exposed hydrophobicity and foam ability confirms the similarity between protein-stabilized foams and emulsions, and thereby indicates that the model proposed for emulsions can be used to predict foam properties in the future. 相似文献

Aqueous foams of oleic acid/oleate solution were found to be pH-responsive with pH changes. Detailed characterization of the aqueous foams of oleic acid/oleate solution was conducted with respect to their stability, structure, and pH response. The pH values required for foam circulation were studied through pH adjustment. The foaming and defoaming activities of oleic acid/oleate solution were explained by microscopic analysis and oil defoaming mechanisms. Because of the reversibility of oleic acid losing or receiving protons, the foaming and defoaming cycles could be readily repeated many times. 相似文献

The gas-mobility reduction capability of sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate foams was studied in sandpacks as a function of temperature at different surfactant concentrations and gas/liquid ratios. Increasing the temperature decreased the gas mobility at a given surfactant concentration and gas/liquid ratio. At any given temperature, the gas-mobility reduction was not increased beyond a certain limit with increasing surfactant concentration. While increasing the gas/liquid ratio improved the gas-mobility reduction at 20°C, at higher temperatures the reduction capability decreased after reaching a maximum at a gas/liquid ratio of 9. All the foams became weak at temperatures of 150°C and higher. 相似文献

The optical and spectral properties of foams and emulsions provide information about their micro-/nanostructures, chemical and time stability and molecular data of their components. Foams and emulsions are collections of different kinds of bubbles or drops with particular properties. A summary of various surfactant and emulsifier types is performed here, as well as an overview of methods for producing foams and emulsions. Absorption, reflectance, and vibrational spectroscopy (Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy-FTIR, Raman spectroscopy) studies are detailed in connection with the spectral characterization techniques of colloidal systems. Diffusing Wave Spectroscopy (DWS) data for foams and emulsions are likewise introduced. The utility of spectroscopic approaches has grown as processing power and analysis capabilities have improved. In addition, lasers offer advantages due to the specific properties of the emitted beams which allow focusing on very small volumes and enable accurate, fast, and high spatial resolution sample characterization. Emulsions and foams provide exceptional sensitive bases for measuring low concentrations of molecules down to the level of traces using spectroscopy techniques, thus opening new horizons in microfluidics. 相似文献

A simultaneous thermal analysis/mass spectroscopy system was used for the determination of halogenated hydrocarbons in polymeric
foam insulation materials. The investigation of ten different polymeric foams show that this equipment is a sensitive and
reliable tool for the identification and determination of the bubbling agent. The results are compared with the Purge and
Trap method.

Semi-rigid polyurethane (PU) foams were prepared using lignin-molasses- poly(ethylene glycol) polyols. Two kinds of lignin, kraft lignin (KL) and sodium lignosulfonate (LS), were used. Both lignin and molasses polyols were mixed with various ratios and were reacted with poly(phenylene methylene) polyisocyanate (MDI) in the presence of silicone surfactant and di-n-butyltin dilaurate. A small amount of water was used as a foaming agent. The apparent density of PU foams increased with increasing lignin content. The compression strength and elastic modulus linearly increase with increasing apparent density, suggesting that mechanical properties are controllable by changing reaction conditions. The PU foams were amorphous and glass transition was detected by differential scanning calorimetry. The glass transition temperature (Tg ) maintained an almost constant value, regardless of the mixing ratio. This indicates that both the phenolic group of lignin and the glucopyranose ring of molasses act as rigid components in PU crosslinking network structures, and both groups contribute to the main chain motion to the same extent. By thermogravimetry (TG), it was confirmed that PU foams are thermally stable up to around 300 °C. By differential scanning calorimetry, Tg was observed at temperatures from 80 to 120 °C. 相似文献

Liquid foams are familiar from beer, frothed milk, or bubble baths; foams in general also play important roles in oil recovery, lightweight packaging, and insulation. Here a new class of foams is reported, obtained by frothing a suspension of colloidal particles in the presence of a small amount of an immiscible secondary liquid. A unique aspect of these foams, termed capillary foams, is the particle‐mediated spreading of the minority liquid around the gas bubbles. The resulting mixed particle/liquid coating can stabilize bubbles against coalescence even when the particles alone cannot. The coated bubbles are further immobilized by entrapment in a network of excess particles connected by bridges of the minority liquid. Capillary foams were prepared with a diverse set of particle/liquid combinations to demonstrate the generality of the phenomenon. The observed foam stability correlates with the particle affinity for the liquid interface formed by spreading the minority liquid at the bubble surface. 相似文献

The drainage and stability of DMPG (l-α-phosphatidyl-dl-glycerol dimyristoyl) foams were studied by a microconductivity method under conditions where three different foam film types could be formed—thin foam films (TFF), common black foam films (CBF), and Newton black foam films (NBF). Foaming properties were investigated at 20 and 28°C where DMPG is in the gel and liquid-crystalline states. Higher conductivity signals were observed at the higher temperature where DMPG was in the liquid-crystalline state, which is indicative of wetter or more stable foams under these conditions. This effect was observed independent of foam film type. However, for a given phase state, the type of foam films formed significantly influenced the stability and rate of drainage of the foam. Indeed, the water content of the foams, obtained under conditions for formation of different foam films, is ranked in the order TFF > CBF > NBF. When the temperature was increased to 28°C (i.e., in the liquid-crystalline state), CBF and NBF showed a slight decrease in film thickness and an increase in film lifetime and surface molecular diffusion coefficient in the adsorbed layer. It is likely that the fluidity of the interfacial layer is an important factor contributing to DMPG foam stabilization. 相似文献

Aqueous foam is regarded as a versatile medium in numerous scientific and engineering applications due to its high viscosity and low density. The objective of this study is to investigate the flow characteristics of aqueous foams through the jet device and horizontal pipe. The pressure distribution and foam production capacity are measured at different operating conditions. Experimental results show that the pressure fluctuations reduce significantly by increasing the foam liquid concentration, especially in the downstream of jet device. The bubble flow turns into homogeneous foams gradually when the concentration increases from 0.025% to 0.35%, while the foam behaviors take little change at a higher concentration, and the foamability reaches a limit. Subjected to the large pressure difference produced between the top and bottom of horizontal pipe, aqueous foams undergo a gas–liquid separation at a high terminal pressure, resulting in bubbles at the top and liquid at the bottom. Therefore, the terminal pressure should be kept less than a critical value to hold a good foam pattern. Based on the above contributions, it is believed that the study laid an important foundation for the widespread application of foam technology. 相似文献

Three different types of foaming agents including hydrocarbon surfactant TQ01, partial fluorinated surfactant BF01, and per-fluorinated surfactant QF01 exhibited good foaming ability and foam stability under 95°C high temperature and 32,325 ppm salinity conditions. The oil-tolerance ability order with respect to Malaysia Off-shore (MOS) crude oil for surfactant TQ01, BF01, and QF01 is TQ01 < BF01 < QF01. Introduction of polymer into the foam formula could significantly increase foam stability. Different polymers show different abilities of increasing foam stability. Spreading coefficient and entering coefficient are close to zero for surfactant BF01 foaming system and much less than zero for surfactant QF01 foaming system, so the oil-resistance ability of foam generated by surfactant QF01 is the strongest. For surfactant TQ01 foaming system, the calculated spreading coefficient and entering coefficient are greater than zero; therefore, the TQ01 foam system is more sensitive to MOS crude oil and its oil-resistance ability is the poorest. Core flooding test indicated that using the 0.4% BF01 and 0.2% YH1096 combined foaming formula could increase the pressure drop across the porous media significantly, indicating that strong foam was generated in the presence of MOS crude oil. 相似文献

Recently, the sustainable utilization of waste resources has become a low-cost and effective strategy to design high-performance functional materials to solve the increasingly serious environmental pollution problem. Herein, the flexible and highly stretchable polyurethane (PU) composite foams assisted by one-dimensional carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and zero-dimensional Fe3O4 were fabricated using waste tire rubbers (WTRs) as reinforcements during a simple self-foaming process. The collaborative introduction of conductive CNTs, magnetic Fe3O4, and WTRs with three-dimensional cross-linked structures enabled the construction of an efficient electronic transmission path and heterointerfaces inside the composite foam. The resulting composite foam possessed a desired minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of −47.43 dB, and also exhibited superior mechanical properties with a tensile strength of >3 MPa and multiple tensile deformation recovery abilities. In addition, increasing the temperature could significantly improve the electromagnetic wave absorption performance of the composite foam. This comprehensive composite foam derived from WTRs has shown a promising development potential for using waste materials to relieve electromagnetic pollution. 相似文献

The concepts of the sound energy dissipation in gas–liquid foams are described within the framework of the film model of sound propagation. The high absorption of sound in foams is explained by hydrodynamic losses in foam films. The experimental dependence of the absorption coefficient on the foam expansion is explained. The calculated expansion corresponding to the absorption maximum is close to the experimental value. 相似文献
