Foam: Is it a friend or a foe?

 

Foam is all around us in personal care products, food and beverages, household items, and more. Developers of these products are interested in defining foam formation, stability, behavior, moisture, and inner structure. But for other industries, such as paints and cooling lubricants, foam can be an unwelcome byproduct. See how researchers tackle the most challenging foam-related issues.
