Hierarchical bubble size distributions in coarsening wet liquid foams
Nicolo Galvani, Marina Pasquet, Arnab Mukherjee +8
Coarsening of two-phase systems is crucial for the stability of dense particle packings such as alloys, foams, emulsions or supersaturated solutions. Mean field theories predict an…
Coarsening transitions of wet liquid foams under microgravity conditions
Marina Pasquet, Nicolo Galvani, Alice Requier +6
We report foam coarsening studies which were performed in the International Space Station (ISS) to suppress drainage due to gravity. Foams and bubbly liquids with controlled liquid…
Aqueous foams in microgravity, measuring bubble sizes
Marina Pasquet, Nicolo Galvani, Olivier Pitois +9
The paper describes a study of wet foams in microgravity whose bubble size distribution evolves due to diffusive gas exchange. We focus on the comparison between the size of bubble…
Stiffening attractive suspensions with solid inclusions or granularity effect in loaded colloidal gels
Claudia Ferreiro-Córdova, Giuseppe Foffi, Olivier Pitois +3
The elastic properties of a soft matter material can be greatly altered by the presence of solid inclusions whose microscopic properties, such as their size and interactions, can h…
Yield stress of aerated cement paste
Blandine Feneuil, Nicolas Roussel, Olivier Pitois
Yield stress of aerated cement paste is studied. Samples are prepared by mixing aqueous foam with cement paste, which allows controlling bubble size, gas volume fraction and yield…
Optimal cement paste yield stress for the production of stable cement foams
Blandine Feneuil, Nicolas Roussel, Olivier Pitois
Production of morphology-controlled cement foams remains challenging, mainly due to bubble stability issues during cement setting. The use of cement paste with high yield stress is…
