Abstract
The foaming properties of. surfactant-oil-water systems are found to be closely related to the phase behavior at equilibrium. In Winsor I systems both the surfactant-oil-water emulsion and its aqueous phase produce stable foams. The foaminess and the foam stability follow the same pattern of variation than the emulsion stability. In Winsor III (three phase microemulsion-oil-water) and Winsor II systems no foam can be formed. The changes are the same no matter the formulation variable used to scan the physico-chemical formulation or the method used to measure the foam stability.Keywords
