Dynamics of Multi-component Fluids near Interfaces in Relation to Pickering Foams

Explore a virtual seminar on the dynamics of multi-component fluids near interfaces in relation to Pickering foams. Delve into complex topics such as subsurface energy recovery, water resiliency, and the impact of particle wettability on foam formation. Examine the response of interfacial films to applied compressions and investigate the effects of roughness on foam stability. Compare surfactant and particle-based foams in terms of height, microstructure, and bubble coarsening. Analyze dilatational properties, interfacial rheology design, and the role of osmotic pressure in foam stability. Gain insights into the challenges and applications of multi-component fluids in various industrial and environmental contexts.
