Drainage studies of highly dynamic interfaces as viewed by SANS

Abstract: This "scattering" experiment will quantify the thickness of the water lamellae present in air-in-water foams stabilised by a range of aqueous surfactant solutions. The key structure-activity relationship to be quantified is the decrease in lamellae thickness as the foam drains, and its correlation with the molecular species/interactions present in the liquid. A range of simple and commonly-used surfactant systems will be explored, based on previous experiments/insights, and recent theoretical modelling.interpretation of such experimental data. Whilst notionally a scattering experiment, the data recorded is actually a combination of scattering and reflectivity, and therefore embodies a rather interesting and unique route into the study of these dynamical systems.
