Characterisation, Modification and Mathematical Modelling of Sudsing

本文介绍了一个综合性的研究计划，它涉及起泡的特性、改性和数学模型：这项研究将阐明支撑洗衣粉产品的基本科学。将测量主表面活性剂与助表面活性剂、聚合物和脂肪土滴/颗粒的混合物的发泡性，并将其与泡沫膜的界面传输性质相关联。泡沫良好的配方将成为目标。将对起泡过程中形成的泡沫体的光学、排水和流变特性进行测量和表征。将使用气泡尺度模型来描述气泡的形状和稳定性。最后，连续水平起泡的数学模型，描述的平均泡沫特性（泡沫体积，averagebubble大小，平均液体含量），将开发recallatingthe关键的研究结果。

An integrated research programme is described treating thecharacterisation, modification and mathematical modelling of sudsing:the research will elucidate the fundamental science underpinninglaundry detergent products. The foamability of a primary surfactantin admixture with co-surfactants, polymers and fatty soildrops/particles will be measured, and correlated with interfacialtransport properties of foam films. Formulations which foam well willbe targeted. Optical, drainage and rheological properties of the bulkfoams formed during sudsing will be measured and characterised.Bubble scale modelling will be used to describe bubble shapes andstability. Finally continuum level mathematical models of sudsing,described in terms of average foam properties (foam volume, averagebubble size, average liquid content), will be developed incorporatingthe key research findings.
