Abstract
Soft, light, and aesthetically captivating, yet often enigmatic, liquid foams represent highly complex and intriguing systems. Their intrinsic multiscale structure requires the integration of multiple techniques to fully unveil their properties. This review provides a concise introduction to neutron and x-ray scattering experiments on liquid foams, focusing on their structural characterization at the submicrometer scale. In particular, small-angle scattering experiments for foam characterization are experiencing a renaissance in recent years, with emphasis placed on the breadth of information attainable through these methods. Additionally, it highlights recent advancements in the field and identifies several open challenges that could be addressed using neutron and synchrotron radiation.
液态泡沫柔软、轻盈、美观迷人，但往往又神秘莫测，是高度复杂而又引人入胜的系统。其内在的多尺度结构要求整合多种技术，以充分揭示其特性。本综述简要介绍了液态泡沫的中子和 X 射线散射实验，重点是亚微米尺度的结构表征。特别是，近年来用于泡沫表征的小角散射实验正经历复兴，重点是通过这些方法可获得的信息的广度。此外，该报告还重点介绍了该领域的最新进展，并指出了可利用中子和同步辐射解决的几项公开挑战。
期刊介绍：
Current Opinion in Colloid and Interface Science (COCIS) is an international journal that focuses on the molecular and nanoscopic aspects of colloidal systems and interfaces in various scientific and technological fields. These include materials science, biologically-relevant systems, energy and environmental technologies, and industrial applications.
Unlike primary journals, COCIS primarily serves as a guide for researchers, helping them navigate through the vast landscape of recently published literature. It critically analyzes the state of the art, identifies bottlenecks and unsolved issues, and proposes future developments.
Moreover, COCIS emphasizes certain areas and papers that are considered particularly interesting and significant by the Editors and Section Editors. Its goal is to provide valuable insights and updates to the research community in these specialized areas.
