The Effect of Varying Surfactant Concentration on the Rheological Properties of Aqueous and Polymeric Foam

In this project the rheological affects of differing surfactant concentrations (0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 percent, v/v, in water) were investigated. Experiments were conducted by varying the surfactant concentration under ambient conditions and varying qualities (70, 80, and 90 percent). These tests were run for aqueous and polymeric foam (approximately 0.5 percent HEC). The liquid phase rheology of the polymeric solutions was made to be comparable to the liquid phase rheology from the previous tests. The rheology and stability of the resulting foam was measured. It was concluded from the resulting data that there did not exist a consistent pattern between the differing parameters. It also appears that surfactant concentration seems to generally have little effect on the rheology of foam; however, the surfactant concentration did have a strong impact on the stability of the foam. For aqueous foam, 0.75% was the most stable foam and 3.0% was the most unstable foam. For polymerized foam, 1.0% was the most stable foam and 0.75% was the most unstable foam.
