Expérimental Description
Solid foams are porous materials, used in building industry for their insulating power and their lightness. They are obtained from liquid foams that solidify. Our objective is to study the intermediate solidifying foams which have intriguing properties ruled by both surface tension and bulk elasticity. The master-PhD student will thus study aging and solidification in a model system: foams made from a reactive plaster suspension. We will combine rheology, imaging and Raman spectroscopy to follow the solidification reaction.
