Formation of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate Foams by Compression of Soft Porous Material

Abstract Interaction of foams with porous materials is frequently observed in industry and nature. An example the interaction foam a cleaning product sponge, which has been investigated previously Johnson et al., Colloids Surfaces A , 2019, 579, June, p. 123569 commercial dishwashing solution using compression device sponge saturated surfactant solution. The purpose this study to investigate same process sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), critical micelle concentration (CMC) as used. It found that SDS 10 times CMC optimum for formation. Any further increase above does not result mass. Although was most important parameter, temperature pH also influenced generation. Increasing resulted decreasing mass generated 7 optimal
