**The cover picture shows** a cut‐away section of an oil droplet on a surfactant solution, in which a lens of oil is in equilibrium with a mixed monolayer of surfactant and oil. The background is a Brewster angle micrograph of a drop of hexadecane on a 1.2 mM solution of dodecyltrimethylammonium bro

Strategies to promote or control droplet spreading on solid surfaces is important to many industrial and biological processes. The manipulation of surface tension and contact angle by the addition of surface-active compounds to the bulk liquid of a drop offers one strategy for altering the adhesion
The dynamic wetting behaviour on a perfluorinated, low-energy solid has been investigated for a carbohydrate-modified phenylsiloxane surfactant. The surfactant concentration, the rate of interface generation and the [solid/liquid interface area] : [liquid/vapour interface area] ratio were varied sys
For selected carbohydrate-modified Silicon surfactants of the siloxane, carbosilane, polysilane and silane type, the concentration dependences of the liquid/vapour and solid/liquid interfacial tensions under equilibrium conditions have been determined. Further, the Lifshitz-van der Waals and donor-a
