Abstract
Ultra-stable foams with multilayer films which were similar to the structure of colloidal gas aphrons (CGA) were designed in view of increasing the amount of bound water molecules at molecular level. This liquid films in foams were spontaneously assembled by 1-dodecanol (DDA), sodium dodecyl sulfonate (SDS) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) molecular with a remarkable long-term foam lifetime. The states of water molecules as well as the molecular arrangement in foam films have been analyzed via molecular dynamics (MD) simulation to explore microscopic character and stable mechanism of multilayer films of foams. We found that the combined effect of SDS, DDA and PVA could not only increase distribution intensity of bound water molecules in foam film layers, but it also could decrease the gas diffusion rate to balance the pressure of the air layers of the multilayer foams.
