Viscoelastic interfaces comprising of cellulose nanocrystals and lauroyl ethyl arginate for enhanced foam stability

Soft Matter, 2020, 16,3981-3990
DOI: 10.1039/C9SM02392E, Paper
Agnieszka Czakaj, Aadithya Kannan, Agnieszka Wiśniewska, Gabriela Grześ, Marcel Krzan, Piotr Warszyński, Gerald G. Fuller
At submillimolar concentrations of lauroyl ethyl arginate, cellulose nanocrystals aggregate and form elongated fibres. This interfacial assembly efficiently stabilises foams.

Marangoni puffs: dramatically enhanced dissolution of droplets with an entrapped bubble

Soft Matter, 2020, Advance Article
DOI: 10.1039/D0SM00093K, Paper
José M. Encarnación Escobar, Jaap Nieland, Arie van Houselt, Xuehua Zhang, Detlef Lohse
We present a curious effect observed during the dissolution process of water-immersed long-chain alcohol drops with an entrapped bubble. When the drop-water interface and the air bubble contact each other, a rapid cyclic motion that accelerates the drop's dissolution is found. We name this eye-catching phenomenon puffing.
