Neutron reflectometry on superspreading and non-superspreading trisiloxane surfactants
Joshua Reed, Séforah Carolina Marques Silva, Philipp Gutfreund +3
Certain trisiloxane surfactants have the remarkable property of being able to superspread: Small volumes of water rapidly wet large areas of hydrophobic surfaces. The molecular pro…
