Superspreading driven by Marangoni flow

The spontaneous spreading (called superspreading) of aqueous trisiloxane ethoxylate surfactant solutions on hydrophobic solid surfaces is a fascinating phenomenon with several practical applications. For example, the ability of trisiloxane ethoxylate surfactants to enhance the spreading of spray solutions on waxy weed leaf surfaces, such as velvetleaf (Abutilion theophrasti), makes them excellent wetting agents for herbicide applications. The superspreading ability of silicone surfactants has been known for decades, but its mechanism is still not well understood. In this paper, we suggest that the spreading of trisiloxane ethoxylates is controlled by a surface tension gradient, which forms when a drop of surfactant solution is placed on a solid surface. The proposed model suggests that, as the spreading front stretches, the surface tension increases (the surfactant concentration becomes lower) at the front relative to the top of the droplet, thereby establishing a dynamic surface tension gradient. The driving force for spreading is due to the Marangoni effect, and our experiments showed that the higher the gradient, the faster the spreading. A simple model describing the phenomenon of superspreading is presented. We also suggest that the superspreading behavior of trisiloxane ethoxylates is a consequence of the molecular configuration at the air/water surface (i.e. small and compact hydrophobic part), as shown by molecular dynamics modeling. We also found that the aggregates and vesicles formed in trisiloxane solutions do not initiate the spreading process and therefore these structures are not a requirement for the superspreading process.     

Self-Assembly of Trisiloxane-Tailed Sugar Surfactant in Aqueous Solution

Abstract

A lactobionamide-based trisiloxane surfactant (Si3N2–LA) was prepared via a two-step method. Structure characterization of Si3N2–LA was performed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H NMR). Surface activity and aggregation behavior in aqueous solution of Si3N2–LA were investigated by surface tension measurements, dynamic light scattering (DLS) and negative-stained transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results show that the surfactants can self-assemble into spherical vesicles with diameters in the range from 50 to 150 nm due to the introduction of trisiloxane tail.     

Spreading behaviour of aqueous trisiloxane solutions over hydrophobic polymer substrates

The kinetics of spreading of aqueous trisiloxane solutions over different solid hydrophobic substrates has been investigated experimentally. Two pure trisiloxane surfactants with 6 and 8 oxyethylene groups at concentrations close to the critical aggregation concentration and the critical wetting concentration were used in the spreading experiments. Three hydrophobic substrates (Teflon AF, Parafilm, and polystyrene) having different surface properties were used. It was found that the spreading behaviour depends on the hydrophobic/roughness properties of substrates. The rapid spreading and complete wetting were observed for both trisiloxane surfactant solutions at the critical wetting concentration on a substrate with a moderate hydrophobicity. For both highly hydrophobic Teflon AF and Parafilm substrates only partial wetting was found. The experiments have shown that the spreading behaviour over all substrates proceeds at two stages. At the critical aggregation concentration for both trisiloxanes on all substrates the time lag of the spreading was detected. The article is published in the original.     

X-ray diffraction investigation of siloxanes. II. Dependence of the structure of cyclic trisiloxanes on the nature of organic substituents at the silicon atom

The structure of six cyclic trisiloxane compounds with various combinations of carbon and oxygen-containing organic radicals Me, Ph, 2mPh, and 3mPh attached to the silicon atoms and lying in different positions of the trisiloxane cycle has been studied. The Si-O bond lengths vary within wide limits (1.607(5)–1.643(2) Å). Introduction of one or two 2mPh or 3mPh oxygen-containing radicals in the 1,1-position of the trisiloxane ring results in Si-O interatomic distances shortened to 1.624(3) Å. When two 3mPh radicals are in the 1,3-positions, the Si-O bond length decreases to 1.607(5) Å. The calculated charges on the silicon and oxygen atoms of the siloxane ring indicated that there is poor correlation between the charged state of the silicon atom and the Si-O bond length.     

Synthesis,Micellar and Surface Properties of Cationic Trisiloxane Surfactants with Different Siloxane Hydrophobic Groups

Three cationic trisiloxane surfactants, 1-methyl-1-[bis(trimethylsiloxy)methyl]silyl-propylpyrrolidinium chloride (Si₃pyCl), 1-methyl-1-[bis(triethylsiloxy)methyl]silyl-propylpyrrolidinium chloride (Et-Si₃pyCl), and 1-methyl-1-[bis(vinyldimethylsiloxy)methyl]silylpropylpyrrolidinium chloride (Vi-Si₃pyCl) were synthesized. The aggregation behavior of the trisiloxane surfactants with different siloxane hydrophobic groups in aqueous solution was investigated by surface tension and electrical conductivity measurements. The structures of hydrophobic groups of the trisiloxane surfactants can obviously influence their surface activities and thermodynamics. All the three cationic trisiloxane surfactants have excellent surface activity. Owing to the steric hindrance of hydrophobic groups, the CMC values increase following the order Et-Si₃PyCl?<?Vi-Si₃PyCl?<?Si₃PyCl. The \(\Delta G_{\text{m}}^{\text{o}}\) values increase in the order Et-Si₃PyCl?>?Vi-Si₃PyCl?>?Si₃PyCl, attributed to the decrease in the hydrophobic effect. The micellization processes of these surfactants are entropy-driven.     

Syntheses and properties of ethoxylated double‐tail trisiloxane surfactants containing a propanetrioxy spacer

A new type of ethoxylated double‐tail trisiloxane surfactants containing a propanetrioxy spacer of the general formula ROCH₂CH(OR)CH₂O(CH₂CH₂O)_xCH₃ [R = Me₃SiOSiMe(CH₂)₃OSiMe₃, x = 8.4, 12.9, 22] has been synthesized. Their structures were characterized by ¹H‐NMR, ¹³C‐NMR and ²⁹Si‐NMR spectroscopy. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) values of these double‐tail trisiloxane surfactants were at the level of 10⁻⁵ mol l⁻¹, and the surface tension values of their aqueous solutions at CMC were in the range of 21‐24.9 mN m⁻¹. Only the double‐tail trisiloxane surfactant with average ethoxy units of 8.4 ( 1P ) possesseda good spreading ability (SA) value. Its SA values of aqueous solutions (5.0 × 10⁻³ mol l⁻¹) on parafilm and Ficus microcarpa leaf surfaces were more than 15 (within 10 min) and 13 (within 3 min), respectively. The trisiloxane surfactant 1P was also found to have the strongest hydrolysis resistant ability among all of the double‐tail trisiloxane surfactants prepared. Its aqueous solutions were stable for 130 days in an acidic environment (pH 4.0) and 59 days in an alkaline environment (pH 10.0) with surface tension values less than 23 mN m⁻¹. It is suggested that this surfactant can be used as a wetting agent or spreading agent in certain extreme pH environments. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Displacement of Silicone Oils from the Hydrophobic Surface by Aqueous Trisiloxane Solutions

Kinetics of the displacement of silicone oils of different viscosity by the aqueous solution of trisiloxane from quartz capillaries from 4 to 7 m in radius with the hydrophobized (methylated) surface is investigated. The displacement kinetics is described by Washburn's equation with the dynamic values of contact angles and bulk viscosities of the solution and oils. In the case of displacing (by the solution) thin oil films, which were preliminarily deposited onto the capillary surface, the advancing meniscus of the trisiloxane solution collects the column of oil from the film. The volume of the collected oil practically coincides with that of preliminarily deposited film, which is indicative of the sufficient extent of displacement. The film displacement rate is controlled by the surface diffusion of trisiloxane molecules over the hydrophobic surface under the oil film. The order of magnitude of the measured surface diffusion coefficients is equal to about 10^–5cm²s^–1.     

Capillary rise of superspreaders

Trisiloxane surfactants, known as 'superspreaders', are commonly employed in numerous applications where enhanced wetting is of the utmost importance. The underlying mechanisms of superspreader wetting have been a focus of scientific interest for ca. 2 decades, and a number of mechanisms have been proposed to explain the unique trisiloxane dynamics. We have studied trisiloxane behaviour in thin capillaries to get further insight into their interfacial activity. Additionally, our knowledge of the capillary rise of superspreaders is surprisingly limited, and the effect of this extraordinary group of surfactants on capillary phenomena has been largely overlooked. Diffusion was confirmed to be the limiting factor of trisiloxane behaviour. A tentative theoretical explanation for the phenomenon studied and an appropriate mathematical model are presented. It is concluded that the enhancement of wetting due to surfactant addition is also a function of geometry: the effect is clear for a sessile drop, but more complex and less beneficial in a capillary.     

Siloxane-containing Bifunctional Epoxide Together with Multi-functional Acrylates to Improve the Performance of Holographic Gratings

Well-defined transmission holographic gratings with high diffraction efficiency were fabricated by irradiating a mixture of dipentaerythritol penta-/hexa-functional acrylates, 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone and 1,3-bis(3-glycidoxypropyl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane or 1,3-bis[2-(1,2-epoxycyclohex-4-yl)ethyl]-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane in the absence (photo-polymer systems, 30 : 10 : 60 in weight ratio; 80 or 55% efficiency) or presence (holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal systems: 45 : 9 : 36 : 10 in weight ratio; 83 or 67% efficiency) of commercial liquid crystalline compound E7 with diphenyliodonium hexafluorophosphate and 3,3′-carbonylbis(7-diethylaminocoumarin) photo-initiating system by Nd:YAG laser (λ = 532 nm). When the ratio of dipentaerythritol penta-/hexaacrylate and 1,3-bis(3-glycidoxypropyl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane was changed to 50 : 40 in photo-polymer system, the diffraction efficiency increased to 84%. They had smooth surface morphologies with regulated spacing. In polymer dispersed liquid crystal system, the same ratio of dipentaerythritol penta-/hexaacrylate and siloxane-containing epoxides gave the best results. 1,5-Bis(3-glycidoxypropyl)-1,1,3,3,5,5-hexamethyltrisiloxane and 1,5-bis[2-(1,2-epoxycyclohex-4-yl)ethyl]-1,1,3,3,5,5-hexamethyltrisiloxane gave high diffraction efficiency with 10% E7 (97% and 75%). The trisiloxane derivatives gave gratings with considerably or moderately reduced angular deviation (0.83, 0.66 degree for trisiloxane from 1.2, 0.7 degree for disiloxane derivatives, respectively for signal beam, and 0.76, 0.70 degree from 1.1, 1.0 degree for the reference beam at 32 degree of external incident angle) from Bragg profile, namely 5.2 and 4.5% volume shrinkage for trisiloxane, and 7.5, 5.6% for disiloxane derivatives, respectively. Gratings with diffraction efficiency over 95% with the narrowest angular selectivity of 4.0 degree was obtained when trimethylolpropane triacrylate was used together with 1,5-bis[2-(1,2-epoxycyclohex-4-yl)ethyl]-1,1,3,3,5,5-hexamethyltri-siloxane (50 : 40) and 5% E7. These gratings were actually used to store real images.
