Sumario:[Image: see text] We describe an experimental technique for the production of foams comprised of bubbles in a continuous phase of balanced quantities of aqueous and oil phases. Initially, two highly stable foams are fabricated: one typically made from olive oil with bubbles stabilized using partially fluorinated particles and the other made from a mixture of water and propylene glycol with bubbles stabilized using partially hydrophobic particles. After a rough mixture is prepared, the final mixed foam is fabricated via spinning the components together; the spinning leads to the final foam being well-mixed and dry. Here the final mixed foams are presented in thin-film form. We show the locations and roles of the various components.
