Addition of charged surfactant to mixtures of air, water and hydrophobic silica nanoparticles under high shear induces transitional phase inversion from a water-in-air powder to an air-in-water foam. Optical and electron microscopy reveal the non-sph... Read More about Inversion of 'dry water' to aqueous foam on addition of surfactant.
