linear viscoelasticity and solid-liquid transition :



Foam rheology is a vast field of reseach, and can be approached by different means. Here are our latest results.


“Oscillatory rheometry of aqueous foams : surfactant, liquid fraction, aging and protocol effects” S. Marze, R.M. Guillermic, A. Saint-Jalmes Soft Matter, 5, 1937 (2009).

“A systematic and quantitative study of the link between foam slipping and interfacial viscoelasticity” J. Emile, A. Salonen, B. Dollet, A. Saint-Jalmes Langmuir, 25 (23), 13412 (2009).
