Les mousses aqueuses sont formées de bulles d'air dispersées dans une phase aqueuse. En dépit de la simplicité de ces ingrédients, les mousses qui en résultent peuvent offrir une panoplie surprenante de propriétés physiques. Cet article passe en revue des résultats récents obtenus quant aux propriétés moussantes des particules, des structures auto-assemblées agrégées. On mettra en lumière comment la présence d'objets à l'intérieur de la mousse peut modifier de manière drastique la stabilité de celle-ci, d'instable à ultrastable.

Aqueous foams are formed of air bubbles dispersed in a water phase. Despite the simplicity of these ingredients, the resulting foams can have an impressive range of material properties. In this review, an overview will be given on recent results obtained on the foaming properties of particles, self-assembled and aggregated structures. We will highlight how the presence of objects inside the foam can drastically modify the foam stability from unstable to ultrastable.
