This softcover reprint of the original 1st edition from 1989 spans 233 pages and is presented in English. The book delves into the significance of foams and froths in everyday life, highlighting their presence in various applications such as food products and industrial processes, while addressing the complexities associated with their unique properties.
Readers will find a collection of papers that examine the physics, chemistry, and structure of foams, contributed by experts from diverse research disciplines. The volume aims to provide a multi-disciplinary perspective on foam formation and stability, addressing both the fundamental principles and innovative applications in fields such as materials science and environmental science. This edition serves as a valuable resource for those interested in the intricate nature of foams and their role in technology and engineering.
Official synopsis Publisher
Foams and froths are an important feature of everyday life; one only has to think of shaving foam, foam upholstery, fire fighting foam, bread, bear head, and ice cream. Less obvious but equally important are the foams and foaming processes which are being exploited in ever more complex and imaginative ways in industry. However, the unusual nature of foams, the fact that they are neither solids or liquids, and their very fragility has prevented scientists from obtaining a thorough understanding of even the basic principles of foam formation and stability. This volume presents papers on the physics, chemistry, structure and ultrastructure of foams by contributors from a wide range of backgrounds and research disciplines. The aim of the book is to present a unique multi-disciplinary cross section of work currently being undertaken on the subject of foams.
