Nous passons en revue des résultats de la littérature décrivant la structure et la dynamique de molécules polymères adsorbées aux interfaces liquides ainsi que leur comportement dans les mousses. La première partie décrit des résultats théoriques et expérimentaux concernant la structure et la dynamique de systèmes polymères modèles, c'est-à-dire des homopolymères et des copolymères. Dans une seconde partie, nous rapportons des résultats expérimentaux ayant trait à des mélanges de polymères et de surfactants qui sont couramment utilisés pour stabiliser les mousses. Dans de tels mélanges, les surfactants et les molécules polymères forment des complexes au sein de la solution et aux interfaces liquides, qui concourent à la stabilisation des mousses. Nous énumérons les paramètres physicochimiques qui influencent la dynamique de l'adsorption et les propriétés viscoélastiques des interfaces, ainsi que les propriétés moussantes de tels mélanges.

We review some results from the literature describing the structure and dynamics of polymer molecules adsorbed at liquid interfaces as well as their behavior in foams. The first part describes theoretical and experimental results concerning the structure and dynamics of model polymer systems, i.e. homopolymers and copolymers. In the second part, we review experimental results concerning mixtures of polymers and surfactants that are widely used to stabilize foams. In such mixtures, the surfactants and the polymer molecules form complexes in the bulk solution and at liquid interfaces which help stabilizing the foams. We review the physicochemical parameters that influence the adsorption dynamics and the viscoelastic properties of the interfaces as well as the foam properties of such mixtures.
