Notes:
The dynamic wetting behaviour on a perfluorinated, low-energy solid has been investigated for a carbohydrate-modified phenylsiloxane surfactant. The surfactant concentration, the rate of interface generation and the [solid/liquid interface area] : [liquid/vapour interface area] ratio were varied systematically. Dynamic data for the liquid/vapour (γlv) and solid/liquid (γsl) interfacial tension as well as their Lifshitz-van der Waals and donor-acceptor contributions were determined under strictly controlled conditions. Since γsl reacts sensitively to variations of the surfactant concentration and the rate of interface generation, the covering of the liquid/non-polar solid interface is assumed to be a spreading limiting factor. The corresponding γlv values remain constant and close to those obtained under equilibrium conditions. Copyright © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
