Abstract
The collapse profiles of foams formed from model aqueous and non-aqueous foaming solutions have been recorded using a novel device, the Optical Transmission Foam Meter. An equation comprising two exponential terms has been used to describe the profiles and an attempt has been made to relate the equation parameters to some of the physical properties of the gas and liquid phases.
