The dominant mechanism of foam propagation and residual oil mobilization in water-wet system was identified as lamellae division and emulsification of oil, respectively. There was inter-bubble trapping of oil and water, lamellae detaching and collapsing of SDS-foam in the presence of oil in water-wet system and in oil-wet system. The dominant mechanisms of nanoparticles�surfactant foam flow and residual oil mobilization in oil-wet system were the generation of pore spanning continuous gas foam. The identified mechanisms were independent of pore geometry. The SiO2-SDS and Al2O3-SDS foams propagate successfully in water-wet and oil-wet systems; foam coalescence was prevented during film stretching due to the adsorption and accumulation of the nanoparticles at the gas�liquid interface of the foam, which increased the films� interfacial viscoelasticity. © 2017 Taylor & Francis. date: 2018 publisher: Taylor and Francis Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85031800827&doi=10.1080%2f01932691.2017.1378581&partnerID=40&md5=061534ee16916717912b70928014e016 id_number: 10.1080/01932691.2017.1378581 full_text_status: none publication: Journal of Dispersion Science and Technology volume: 39 number: 5 pagerange: 623-633 refereed: TRUE issn: 01932691 citation: Yekeen, N. and Manan, M.A. and Idris, A.K. and Samin, A.M. and Risal, A.R.
