Abstract
This communication reports (photographically) on the shapes of bubbles of different gases in several Newtonian and polymer solutions, encompassing a wide range of rheological behavior. Effects of a surface active agent are mentioned and bubble coalescence in viscoelastic solutions is visualized.
