Journal ArticleDOI
Particles as surfactants—similarities and differences
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the behavior observed in systems containing either particles or surfactant molecules in the areas of adsorption to interfaces, partitioning between phases and solid-stabilised emulsions and foams.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of particles in stabilising foams and emulsions
TL;DR: Much research in emulsions can be applied to foam systems, however evidence would suggest foam systems are under a number of additional constraints, and the stability 'window' for particles is smaller, in terms of size and contact angle ranges.
Journal ArticleDOI
A classification of studies on properties of foam concrete
TL;DR: In this article, the authors classify literature on foam concrete in terms of constituent materials (foaming agent, cement and other fillers used), mix proportioning, production methods, fresh and hardened properties of foam concrete.
Journal ArticleDOI
Properties and applications of foamed concrete; a review
TL;DR: Foamed concrete possesses characteristics such as high strength-to-weight ratio and low density as discussed by the authors, which reduces dead loads on the structure and foundation, contributes to energy conservation, and lowers the labor cost during construction.
Journal ArticleDOI
2 Surfactants and their applications
TL;DR: A review of the nature and physical properties of surfactants can be found in this article, emphasizing their ability to radically alter surface and interfacial properties and to self-associate and solubilize themselves in micelles.

Advances in chemistry series
TL;DR: A key to pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry literature and training of literature chemists are discussed in the Advances series as mentioned in this paper, with the focus on the training of chemistry chemists, which is a subject of great interest to the literature chemist.

On the Theory of Lubrication and Its Application to Mr. Beauchamp Tower's Experiments, Including an Experimental Determination of the Viscosity of Olive Oil
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the boundary or surface actions of fluids and proposed a theoretical treatment of the physical actions of oils and other viscous fluids to diminish friction and wear between solid surfaces.

Surface Chemistry of Froth Flotation
TL;DR: In this paper, a collector mechanism is proposed for the action of modifying agents in Sulfide Minerals, which is based on the mechanism of the Action of Modifying Agents (AOM) mechanism.

Possible mechanism for the spontaneous rupture of thin, free liquid films
TL;DR: In this article, the stability of a free, thin liquid film against small, spontaneous thickness fluctuations is explored, and the critical thickness is calculated for microscopic, circular films and compared with measurements of Scheludko and Exerowa.
