Effect of temperature on foamability using a thermoresponsive polymer

We experimentally examine foam dynamics and foamability using a thermoresponsive polymer, Poly(n-isopropylacrylamide) or PNIPAM. Under a constant gas injection, our results show that temperature significantly affects the foam height produced. A stable foam was observed at room temperature while unst...
