Polymer-stabilized foams and foam films have received considerable attention during the past years. This review paper gives an overview of recent studies dealing with polyelectrolyte/surfactant mixtures, proteins, and microgels adsorbed at single air/water interfaces, in foam films and in macroscopic foams. These polymeric systems have in common that their structure or shape changes when adsorbing at an air/water interface. These structural changes in comparison to their bulk behavior greatly influence the properties of foam films and foams. Regarding the foam stability, formation of adsorbed layers or aggregates plays an important role. The discrepancy between stabilization of macroscopic foams and destabilization of single foam films might be attributed to the blockage of Plateau borders and, therefore, slowed down drainage. Another important parameter is the interfacial viscoelasticity.

在过去的几年中，聚合物稳定的泡沫和泡沫薄膜受到了广泛的关注。这篇综述文章概述了近期研究，涉及在单个空气/水界面，泡沫膜和宏观泡沫中吸附的聚电解质/表面活性剂混合物，蛋白质和微凝胶。这些聚合物体系的共同之处在于，它们在空气/水界面吸附时其结构或形状会发生变化。与它们的整体性能相比，这些结构变化极大地影响了泡沫膜和泡沫的性能。关于泡沫的稳定性，吸附层或聚集体的形成起重要作用。宏观泡沫和泡沫单膜的不稳定的稳定之间的差异可能是由于在BL高原边界的集水区，因此减缓了排水速度。另一个重要参数是界面粘弹性。
