An attractive alternative to mitigate the adverse effects of conventional water-based fluids on
the efficiency of hydraulic fracturing is to inject foam-based fracking fluids into reservoirs …

Emulsions, microemulsions, and foams are dispersions of two immiscible fiuids stabilized by
surface-active species. Emulsions and microemulsions are dispersions usually made with …

We report foam coarsening studies which were performed in the International Space Station
(ISS) to suppress drainage due to gravity. Foams and bubbly liquids with controlled liquid …

Foams are unstable jammed materials. They evolve over timescales comparable to their
“time of use", which makes the study of their destabilisation mechanisms crucial for …

While coalescence is ultimately the most drastic destabilization process in foams, its
underlying processes are still unclear. To better understand them, we track individual …

Coarsening of two-phase systems is crucial for the stability of dense particle packings such
as alloys, foams, emulsions, or supersaturated solutions. Mean field theories predict an …

The evolution of a foam driven by the transfer of two gases of different solubilities across the
soap films is studied. A bamboo foam, or a train of films, is used as a model system; it is …

A liquid–gas foam, here called bubble array, is a ubiquitous phenomenon widely observed
in daily lives, food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic products, and even bio-and nano …

Hypothesis Aqueous foams are expected to constitute exquisite particularly suitable reactive
medium for the oxidation of metals, since the reactant H+ can be supplied through the …

Pressure-driven coarsening triggers bubble rearrangements in liquid foams. Our
experiments show that changing the continuous phase rheology can alter these internal …
