Abstract
The role of individual foam films in the stabilization of steady-state foams (froths) obtained under dynamic conditions was studied. n-Amyl alcohol (AmOH) was chosen as the frothing agent. It was assumed that the stability of such foams is determined by the stability of the bubbles in the top layer, because the liquid content in the foam volume is high and the gas bubbles do not contact one another. The role of the foam films was found through parallel investigations of steady-state foams, single foam films, and foam bubbles at the surface of a solution at appropriately chosen geometrical parameters and at the same composition of the solution. The results showed that the bubbles in the surface layer of the stationary froths rupture at relatively large thickness (larger than 300 nm) where the specific thermodynamic and kinetic properties of the foam films are not yet operative.
