Abstract

Most major recent advances in the physics of monodisperse foams are centred around the ability to generate them with excellent control of bubble sizes down to a few micrometers thanks to the development of appropriate micro- and millifluidic techniques. As a natural consequence, monodisperse liquid and solid foams are playing an increasingly important role in fundamental research and in the development of industrial applications. In this review, we will address the different properties of monodisperse foams, comparing them to the more standard polydisperse foams.
