Wetting and Drying of Aqueous Droplets Containing Nonionic Surfactants CnEm

This paper presents a systematic study of the wetting and drying of aqueous pico-liter droplets containing nonionic surfactants polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers (CnEm; n = 10, 12, 14, m = 6 or 8) in comparison with the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The spreading and drying of droplets...

520 |a This paper presents a systematic study of the wetting and drying of aqueous pico-liter droplets containing nonionic surfactants polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers (CnEm; n = 10, 12, 14, m = 6 or 8) in comparison with the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The spreading and drying of droplets on hydrophilic substrates were studied by tracking the three-phase contact line (TCL) and by interferometry. CnEm droplets undergo phase separation during drying: a water-rich droplet retracts and leaves behind a thin film that is postulated to be a surfactant mesophase. This thin film either retracts or breaks up into small droplets on a longer time scale. The receding contact angle of the water-rich droplet on the thin film in the late stage of drying of CnEm droplets is independent of hydrophobicity of substrates, supporting the inference that a mesophase is present on the surface. Both CnEm and SDS solutions inhibit spreading on hydrophilic surfaces, which is attributed to Marangoni contraction as a result of a surface tension gradient across the gas-liquid interface. More pronounced suppression of spreading is observed in the case of CnEm solutions, possibly due to the phase transition of surfactant solution in the vicinity of the initial TCL leading to a viscous phase at the TCL that pins the droplet. Tracer particle measurements reveal that mild Marangoni flows exist for droplets with surfactant concentrations well above the critical micelle concentration (CMC). Origins of the surfactant gradients that result in Marangoni flows are discussed
