A fundamental understanding of surfactant structure–property–performance relationships will inform the design next-generation alternatives to perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in aqueous film-forming foams. This manuscript describes synthesis, solution properties, and foam stability novel triethylsilyl-containing surfactants, which elucidated influence hydrophilic head group on critical micelle ...

The present work was aimed to examine the effects of incorporation of each of two different types of nanoclay, i.e. Cloisite Na+ and Cloisite 30B, into PVA foam on cellular morphology and water absorption capacity. Foam samples containing 0.0-10.0 wt% of each of the two types of nanoclay alone were prepared using mechanical foaming. Accordingly, PVA/organoclay/water suspensions were prepare...

Honey foam has applications in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. For example, honey can be used bread or biscuit spread (food industry), as a carrier of topical bioactive ingredients (cosmetic drugs (pharmaceutical industry). However, conditions for obtaining stable remain unclear. In this study, we investigated influence particle fluorination on volume stability by aerating na...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the short-term effects of vestibular rehabilitation on symptom, disability, balance, and postural stability in patients with chronic unilateral vestibular dysfunction. DESIGN Randomized controlled trial. SETTING Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, University Hospital. PARTICIPANTS Patients (N=42) with chronic vestibular dysfunction were divided into e...

Low-Tension-Foam (LTF) flooding is an emerging enhanced oil recovery technique for low-permeability carbonate reservoirs. Foam capacity closely related to the salinity environment (or, equivalently, phase behavior of oil/water/surfactant system). Therefore, interactions between microemulsion and foam components are primary importance in LTF process. In this study, system under equilibrium analy...
