Abstract
Trisiloxane surfactants have been reported to have unusual interfacial properties, which was considered to be the root cause why some trisiloxane surfactants show exceptionally good spreading properties on hydrophobic substrates, so-called superspreading. Therefore, the behavior of those surfactants at all interfaces involved has been critically discussed, because some of the findings published in the past are quite counterintuitive. As it turns out, there does not seem to be anything unusual concerning trisiloxane surfactants – their interfacial behavior follows the rules of basic physical chemistry.
期刊介绍:
Current Opinion in Colloid and Interface Science (COCIS) is an international journal that focuses on the molecular and nanoscopic aspects of colloidal systems and interfaces in various scientific and technological fields. These include materials science, biologically-relevant systems, energy and environmental technologies, and industrial applications.
Unlike primary journals, COCIS primarily serves as a guide for researchers, helping them navigate through the vast landscape of recently published literature. It critically analyzes the state of the art, identifies bottlenecks and unsolved issues, and proposes future developments.
Moreover, COCIS emphasizes certain areas and papers that are considered particularly interesting and significant by the Editors and Section Editors. Its goal is to provide valuable insights and updates to the research community in these specialized areas.
