The stratification (step-wise thinning) of horizontal foam films formed from micelar solutions of nonionic surfactants is studied experimentally. The effects of film area, temperature, oil solubilization, surfactant and electrolyte concentrations are investigated. The data support the colloid crystal model of stratification, according to which the step-wise thinning is due to a layer-by-layer destruction of an ordered structure of spherical nonionic micelles inside the film. The analysis of the data shows that the main factor governing the stratification is the volume fraction of the micelles. This fact leads to an unified interpretation of the observed effects, both with nonionic and with anionic surfactant solutions.
