Abstract:

The foams formed by conventional surfactants or multiphase systems have poor stability and they are difficult to be applied in many fields. In recent years, the use of micro- and nano-crystals to form super-stable foam systems has attracted much attention from the academic community. Therefore, the forming mechanism, stabilizing mechanism and influencing factors of crystal particles on the foams have been emphatically discussed, such as the concentration of crystal particles, temperature, size and solvent properties. The application of foams formed by crystal particles in food and materials has been briefly summarized, and the future research direction in this field has been pointed out.

Key words: micro- and nanocrystal, foam, foaming property, stability
