Monolayer Films of Poly(dimethylsiloxane) on Aqueous Surfactant Solutions

Abstract: Spreading at the air−solution interface, of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS), a widely used ingredient in commercial antifoaming agents, depends strongly on the type of surfactant dissolved in solution. To isolate which polymer−surfactant interactions control the process, we measure surface pressure isotherms for PDMS on a wide variety of surfactant solutions. Moreover, we directly probe the influence of electrostatic forces by addition of a 1:1 electrolyte to the solutions. Although surfactant type, anionic, cat… Show more

“…Considering this constraint, Bergeron and coworkers incorporated the thin-film forces into the classical entering and spreading expressions via the knowledge of the disjoining pressure isotherms and established a good correlation between the asymmetric film stability and the foam stability in the presence of oil. [21,22,23].…”

“…Let us recall however that Ay cannot be clearly related to a polymer surface pres sure tt, since the polymer may affect the underlying surfactant layer. The exponent y is still smaller for the CnTAB's: re = 9, y = 1.7; re = 10, y = 1.55; n = 12, y = 1.2; re = 14 and 16, y = 0.8 [11].…”

“…Data for the three systems water, AOT and C10E5 solutions are Change in surface tension as a function of polymer concen tration on different substrates: pure water (squares with crosses); C|2TAB (filled squares), C10E5 (empty squares), C16TAB (crosses) and AOT solutions (triangles). After [11], given in Figure 2. If one assumes that the ellipticity of the substrate, (p)s is unchanged by the presence of the polymer, and that the polymer form an isotropic layer above the solution with the bulk polymer density and index of refraction, one gets:…”

“…Despite its simplicity, all pure spreading liquids investigated to date appear to follow Eq. [1], even when the substrate liquid contains surfactants that are insoluble in the drop (13,14). Conversely, the topic of aqueous surfactant solutions spreading on immiscible organic substrates has been pursued only minimally.…”
