Abstract

The spreading performance of aqueous solutions containing a novel branched trimethylsilyl hedgehog ionic surfactant, Mg(AOTSiC)₂, was compared with that of trisiloxane superspreaders on a hydrophobic polyvinylidenefluoride substrate. The work shows that Mg(AOTSiC)₂ is a superspreader with spreading kinetics similar to trisiloxane surfactants, demonstrating that a hammer-like molecular architecture is not a necessary requirement for superspreading. The aqueous solutions of Mg(AOTSiC)₂ are much more stable than trisiloxane solutions and retain the same spreading performance for at least 45 days. Comparison of the spreading kinetics with dynamic surface tension revealed that Mg(AOTSiC)₂ requires a 10 fold faster equilibration rate at the air/water interface to demonstrate the same spreading kinetics as trisiloxane superspreaders. Addition of 20 % glycerol to the Mg(AOTSiC)₂ solutions suppressed superspreading by slowing down surfactant diffusion; then only surfactant enhanced spreading with a time dependence of spread area S ∼ t^0.8 was observed.
