Surface tension and Surfactants
Colloid

Surface and Interface Chemistry

A colloid is a substance microscopically dispersed evenly throughout another substance.

A colloidal system consists of two separate phases: a dispersed phase (or internal phase)

and a continuous phase (or dispersion medium).

The dispersed-phase particles have a diameter of between approximately 5 and 1000

nanometers. [Wikipedia]

Surface tension and Surfactants
Surface Tension

Surface tension is a property of the

surface of a liquid

Surface Tension = Force / Length = dyne / Cm

= Energy / Area = dyne * Cm /Cm2

Water to be spherical Surface energy, surface stress or surface free energy

What are Surfactants ?
Definitions of Surfactants

Surface-Acive Agent, Surfactant, Amphiphilic Molecule

Chemicals which they have a hydrophilic and a hydrophobic group in its molecule at
once, adsorb the surface or interface, and change the surfacial or interfacial properties
dramatically.

A hydrophobic part; Water disliking A hydrophilic part; Water liking


The hydrophobic part is a long The hydrophilic part could be anionic
hydrocarbon chain (could be also branched) (SO3-), cationin (R3N+) or simply a polar
group

What are Surfactants ?
Non Surfactants

Acetone added to water will reduces the surface tension.


Ethanol added to water will imporves the wetting properties.
Practically any organic soluble product will gives increased foam to water.
Low molecular weight polyacrylates will improve the dispersion properties
of aqueous solutions to clay or calcium carbonate.
Sodium hydroxide solution is an excellent detergent in some applications.

CH3(CH2)nCONa

Soap is a generic name for the alkali metal salt of a carboxylic acid derived from animal fats
or vegetable oils.

Sumerians, who inhabited the region between the Tigris and Euphradis rivers, had already
produced soap in 2500 B.C.

Characteristics
1. Widely produced and used in very large volume.
2. It is an excellent detergent.
3. Raw materials independent of the price and availability of petroleum.
4. Biodegrades very readily.
5. Toxicology well known.

Fatty Alcohol Ethoxylates : General Property

 Foaming at room temperature is generally higher for surfactants which have higher HLB.

 While the best wetting performance is found near the cloud point (turbidity temperature).
This in accordance that the best surfactant performance is usually found just below the
cloud point (turbidity temperature).

 Increasing EO-chain length:


 Increases water solubility as evidenced by an increase in cloud point (trurbidity
temperature)
 Increasing hydrophilie and wetting properties
 Increases the degreasing ability

Nonionic Surfactant

Fatty Alcohol EO/PO Adducts : General Property

A lot of applications require good detergency but low foaming properties.

By adding PO to the fatty alcohol ethoxylate the foam behaviour can be reduced,
also the wetting and emulsifing performance is reduced.

The alkalinity stability could be increased by increasing the PO-chain, but a higher
PO-grade leads to a lower bio-degradability of the surfactant.

To reach products with a high alkaline stability and good degradability n-butyl
endcapped fatty alcohol ethoxylates can be used, e.g. Dehypon LT 104 and
Dehypon LT 054.
