Abstract

Cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) can be used to stabilize the interface between air and liquid as Pickering emulsion stabilizer. In this study, wet-foam was prepared using carboxymethylated CNF (CMCNF) and cationic surfactant, and the characteristics of the CNF-stabilized wet-foam were investigated depending on the addition level of surfactant. As the addition amount of the cationic surfactant was increased to 0.1 w/w%, the zeta potential of the wet-foam was decreased and the morphology of the bubbles in the foam became more uniform. However, the zeta potential was increased again and bubbles with non-uniform size were generated when more than 0.2 w/w% of surfactant was added. The foams with uniform bubbles had higher viscosity and storage modulus. This means that rheological properties can be used as an indicator of the wet-foam structure. The wet foam with surfactant less than 0.025% was relatively stable over time, while the addition of large amount of surfactant led to unstable foam structure.
