Abstract

This paper reviews existing studies of freely suspended liquid films, focusing on the role of the forces between surfaces. The important role of kinetics phenomena is discussed. Examples of studies making use of solutions containing surfactants, proteins and particles are compared. The different aspects of film lifetime are discussed, from film formation to film rupture. A comparison with the few existing theories is also made.
