Network assembled structures from a series of macromolecular surfactants were prepared on glass surfaces. When the content of the hydrophobic side-chains was increased from 10 to 90 mol%, the solutions exhibited a lower surface tension. In addition, these solutions ultimately formed thinner and more orderly network-based porous films on glass surfaces.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
