AbstractFoaming properties of aqueous solutions of the nonionic surfactant polyoxyethylene dodecyl ether (C12EOn) were studied at 298 K. Four different EO chain lengths, namely C12EO3, C12EO5, C12EO7, and C12EO9, were considered. The foams obtained from C12EO3 or C12EO5 were extraordinary stable retaining a constant volume for more than 20 h. The presence of lamellar liquid crystalline phases was mainly responsible for the super-stable aqueous foams.
