Dynamic Properties of Surfactants: Influence on Processes and Technologies
-
G. Oetter
Abstract
Industrial processes become faster and faster. The corresponding formulations have to keep pace with new technical solutions like spray coating in paper production or the substitution of isopropanol in fountain solutions for offset printing. Fast diffusion of amphiphiles to interfaces and the formation of interfacial films to lower the interfacial energy are the fundamental molecular mechanisms which have to be optimised for all high speed spraying and wetting processes. Our results show that the interfacial tension at water/air and at water/solid interfaces primarily depends on the concentration of free surfactants. Micelles act as depots for free surfactants which adjust the concentration in solution as soon as surfactants disappear by interface adsorption. By using synergistic mixtures it is possible to extend the application range of dynamic surfactants towards detergency by combining fast adsorption at interfaces with micellar properties.
Kurzfassung
Industrielle Prozesse werden immer schneller. Neue technische Entwicklungen wie die Sprühbeschichtung in der Papierproduktion oder Isopropanol-freie Feuchtmittel für das Offset-Drucken stellen hohe Herausforderungen an die Dynamik entsprechender Formulierungen. Die Diffusion von amphiphilen Molekülen an die Grenzfläche und die Erniedrigung der Grenzflächenenergie durch Bildung von Grenzflächenfilmen sind die molekularen Mechanismen, die für alle schnellen Sprüh- und Benetzungsprozesse optimiert werden müssen. Unsere Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Grenzflächenspannung an Wasser/Luft- und Wasser/Festkörper-Grenzflächen hauptsächlich von der Konzentration der monomeren Tenside abhängt. Mizellen dienen als Depots für freie Tenside und sorgen für eine Anpassung der Konzentration, sobald die Lösung an Monomeren durch Grenzflächenadsorption verarmt. Mit synergistischen Mischungen ist es möglich, schnelle Grenzflächenadsorption mit mizellaren Eigenschaften zu kombinieren und damit das Einsatzgebiet dynamischer Tenside auf Wasch- und Reinigungsanwendungen auszudehnen.
