E. Meissner et al., SYNTHESIS AND SURFACE-ACTIVITY OF AMINE-TYPE SURFACTANTS CONTAINING FLUOROCARBON HYDROPHOBES, Journal of chemical technology and biotechnology, 58(3), 1993, pp. 271-275
Amine-type surfactants containing fluorocarbon hydrophobes were synthe
sized and used to study their adsorption at water/air interfaces. They
exhibit a high surface activity and decrease both effectively and eff
iciently the surface tension of their aqueous solutions. They are able
to decrease the surface tension to about 20 mN m-1.
