Difference between Foam and Surfactant

Foam vs. Surfactant

Foam is a substance formed by trapping pockets of gas in a liquid or solid. Surfactants are compounds that lower the surface tension (or interfacial tension) between two liquids, between a gas and a liquid, or between a liquid and a solid.

Similarities between Foam and Surfactant

Foam and Surfactant have 4 things in common (in Unionpedia): Amphiphile, Defoamer, Interface (matter), Surface tension.

Amphiphile

An amphiphile (from the Greek αμφις, amphis: both and φιλíα, philia: love, friendship) is a chemical compound possessing both hydrophilic (water-loving, polar) and lipophilic (fat-loving) properties.

Defoamer

A defoamer or an anti-foaming agent is a chemical additive that reduces and hinders the formation of foam in industrial process liquids.

Interface (matter)

In the physical sciences, an interface is the boundary between two spatial regions occupied by different matter, or by matter in different physical states.

Surface tension

Surface tension is the elastic tendency of a fluid surface which makes it acquire the least surface area possible.
