Article Abstract
A bamboo foam is the simplest case of an ordered foam confined in a narrow channel. It is made of a regular film distribution, arranged perpendicularly to the channel. Our work consists of studying the structural properties of several films taken in a drained foam. X-ray experiments highlighted the equality of the equilibrium thickness for each film within a foam. The same thickness was found as by measurements of disjoining pressure isotherms, proving as well that films of a bamboo foam behave like isolated ones. The refinement of X-ray data by a simple model of specular reflectivity showed a significant variation of the electronic distribution of the surfactant layer for a common black film forwarding from one equilibrium state to another. A discussion on the organization of the surfactant molecules to the gas/liquid interface and film is proposed.

The poor foaming of egg yolks has long plagued the food industry. In this study, four egg yolk spheres (EYS) were prepared via acid- and alkaline pH-shift methods, and the main factors affecting the variation in their foaming capacity were determined. The tertiary structure of EYS under hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions unfolded in acidic shifts, exposing many functional groups, and refolded in basic shifts and exposed hydrophobic side chains.

Lignin used in this work was isolated from sapele () wood through a hybrid pulping process using soda/ethanol as pulping liquor and denoted soda-oxyethylated lignin (SOL). SOL was mixed with a polyethylene glycol (PEG)-glycerol mixture (80/20 /) as liquefying solvent with 98% wt. sulfur acid as catalyst, and the mixture was taken to boil at 140 °C for 2, 2.

Due to its lightweight and superior adsorption properties, carbon foam is frequently employed for the removal of heavy metal pollutants from aqueous solutions. In this study, a novel modified carbon foam (M-CF) was successfully synthesized for the effective removal of Pb and Cd from water. The synthesis involved partially substituting phenol with the liquefaction product of bamboo powder, followed by modification with a silane coupling agent (KH560) and foaming with n-hexane-loaded activated carbon (H/AC).

Melamine sponges have demonstrated significant application potential in the field of adsorption materials due to their unique three-dimensional porous network structure, excellent chemical/mechanical stability, and abundant amino active sites on the surface. However, the development of modified melamine sponges with efficient Congo red dye removal capabilities remains a substantial challenge. In this study, a stable linear polymer network structure was constructed on the surface of melamine sponges via an in situ polymerization strategy based on the Schiff base reaction mechanism.

Surface Water Foam (SWF) and underlying Surface Water (SW) were collected from six distinct sites across Michigan using a novel sampling device. PFAS were detected in all SWF samples (Σ41 compounds, n = 14; Avg total PFAS=54,895 ng/L). SWF samples were enriched in high and intermediate molecular volume PFAS relative to SW samples (n = 10) which were dominated by low molecular volume, short-chain PFAS (Avg total PFAS=21 ng/L).
