If the packing behaviour of surfactants in close-packed layers is sufficiently modified then micelles are not formed. Solutions can become turbid at a critical aggregation concentration where a dispersion of liquid crystalline particles is found. Examples of this type of behaviour considered here include dodecyl polyethyleneglycol ethers with low degrees of ethoxylation. The precipitation of liquid crystalline particles either from mixtures of such compounds with micelle forming anionic surfactants or from mixtures of micelle forming zwitterionics with certain micelle forming anionics are also included. Rates of transport of surfactant to air-water surfaces may be monitored by measuring dynamic surface tensions. Solutions containing dispersed liquid crystalline phase, rather than micelles, exhibit diminished rates of transport to air-water surfaces which implies relatively low levels of dynamic adsorption at these surfaces. This leads to diminished foamabilities. However the stability of the resulting foam may be enhanced. This may be caused by diminished bulk foam drainage rates due to accumulation of liquid crystalline material in Plateau borders. It may also derive from diminished foam film drainage rates caused by suppression of marginal regeneration.
