The aim of this work was to study the effect of interactions between casein glycomacropeptide (CMP) and β-lactoglobulin (β-lg) at pH 6.5 and 3.5 on the foaming properties of the mixed systems with different CMP:β-lg ratios. The foaming properties were determined by the bubbling method with a Foamscan instrument. A highest overall foam capacity (OFC), foaming capacity (FC) and mainly stability of mixed foams at pH 3.5, as compared to the mixed foams at pH 6.5 or the foams of CMP and β-lg was observed. At pH 6.5, the stability of mixed foams decreased with increasing the CMP content, while OFC and FC values were similar to β-lg foam. The performance of the mixed systems was discussed in relation with the interactions between CMP and β-lg in the aqueous phase (as observed by dynamic light scattering and differential scanning calorimetry in previous works).

In this study, water-insoluble, moisture-resistant starch foams were prepared using an optimized one-step extrusion-foaming process in a ZSK-30 twin screw extruder. The extrusion parameters, including temperature, screw configuration, die diameter, water content, and feeding rates, were optimized to achieve foams with the lowest density and controlled expansion. A screw configuration made up of three kneading sections was found to be the most effective for better mixing and foaming.

When fire suppression systems that held aqueous film forming foams (AFFF) are transitioned to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS)-free firefighting formulations, PFAS can dissolve from the wetted surfaces of the systems and release into the new firefighting formulations. The overall objective of this work was to characterize PFAS residual mass on the wetted surfaces of aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF) vehicle on-board fire suppression system components from the water, mixed fire water, and foam concentrate systems with various geometries, materials of construction, and locations within the fire suppression system. The ARFF vehicle components were dismantled from the system after a triple water rinse procedure which removed 19,600 mg total measured PFAS post-TOP assay from the foam concentrate system and 23 mg total measured PFAS post-TOP assay from the water system.

Existing polystyrenic and polyolefinic packaging foams are non-biodegradable, and persist in the environment for hundreds of years. Gelatin foams are an interesting alternative, given their biodegradability, biocompatibility, solution-based processability, low cost, and non-toxicity. However, current methods for preparing gelatin foams, such as freeze-drying, microfluidic foaming, and batch foaming, are not suitable for high-volume production.

One of the unavoidable issues with the bio-scaffolding process is the collapse of the visually appealing external three-dimensional (3D) sponge-like structure and the internal porous and multilayered morphology of a gas-foamed nanofibrous scaffold. Herein, a gas-foamed polycaprolactone/cellulose (g-PCL/CL) nanofibers scaffold is first prepared by electrospinning PCL/cellulose acetate, followed by deacetylation and then Sodium borohydride-assisted gas-foaming technique. The deformed 3D architecture of g-PCL/CL nanofiber is finally reconstructed by mixing it with chitosan (CS) solution and molding.
