β¦ Synopsis
The spreading behaviour of defined trimethylsilane-based surfactants of general formula (CH 3 ) 3 Si(CH 2 ) 6 (OCH 2 CH 2 ) n OCH 3 , n = 2-6, on five different solid surfaces at 21 Β°C has been investigated. Compounds bearing short diethylene and triethylene glycol hydrophiles do not spread. For the longer-chained tetraethylene to hexaethylene glycol derivatives, the ability to spread depends on the surface energy. Rapid spreading is restricted to the slightly polar surface of 40 mN m Γ1 surface energy. Lower or higher surface energies considerably reduce the spreading rates. The phase behaviour of the solutions substantially influences the spreading process. The dispersed systems of the tetraethylene glycol derivative spread constantly over long time intervals. The dispersions of the pentaethylene glycol analogue are very close to the temperature for a transition into the onephase state. A retardation of the spreading process occurs after a few seconds. Micellar solutions of the hexaethylene glycol derivative either spread very slowly or stop spreading after a few seconds. The largest spreading areas and highest initial spreading rates were found for the 0.1 wt% solutions.
