- 1.1. The rate of surface tension lowering of solutions of sodium laurate, sodium dodecyl sulfate, and sodium oleate were determined by the oscillating jet technique.
- 2.2. The stabilities of foams containing these surface-active agents were measured by the single bubble technique.
- 3.3. The surface viscosity and surface plasticity were determined for sodium laurate solutions. No plasticity was observed and the viscosity was essentially that of pure water.
- 4.4. The rate of surface tension lowering of sodium laurate increases with increasing concentration. At a given concentration the rate of lowering for sodium dodecyl sulfate is appreciably greater than that for sodium laurate. In the higher concentration range the rate for sodium oleate does not increase appreciably.
- 5.5. Sodium chloride increases the rate of surface tension lowering of sodium laurate.
- 6.6. It is probable that the stability of a foam is due to the ability of its films to resist deformation. The conditions for high foam stability are: (1) Low surface tension relative to that of the pure solvent, (2) moderate rate of surface tension lowering, and (3) a high bulk or surface viscosity.
- 7.7. The foam stabilities determined in this research are in qualitative agreement with theory.
