Abstract

Interactions in thin liquid foam films and between solid/liquid surfaces coated with the non-ionic surfactant hexaoxyethylene dodecylether (C12 E6) were investigated with a TFPB (thin film pressure balance) and the MASIF (Measurement and Analysis of Surface Interaction Forces) technique, respectively. For foam films the formation of common black films (CBF) and Newton black films (NBF) was observed depending on the surfactant concentration and the applied pressure. With increasing surfactant concentration and increasing pressure the CBF is destabilized, whereas a stabilization of the NBF is observed. In addition, MASIF measurements with two different hydrophobic surfaces were made. In one case silanated glass surfaces and in the other case thiolated gold surfaces were used. Differences and similarities of the interactions between these two surfaces are shown and discussed. Furthermore, the results of the MASIF measurements are compared with the ones of the thin film pressure balance measurements and the influence of the surfactant concentration on the interactions is discussed.

Kurzfassung

Mit einer TFPB (thin film pressure balance) und der MASIF (Measurement and Analysis of Surface Interaction Forces) Technik wurden Wechselwirkungen in freistehenden Schaumfilmen und zwischen fest/flüssig-Grenzflächen für wässrige Lösungen des nichtionischen Tensids Hexaethylenglykol-Monododecylether (C12 E6) untersucht. Für Schaumfilme wurde die Bildung von common black films (CBF) und Newton black films (NBF) abhängig von der Tensidkonzentration und dem angelegten Druck beobachtet. Dabei wird mit steigender Tensidkonzentration und steigendem Druck der CBF destabilisiert und der NBF stabilisiert. Zum Vergleich wurden MASIF-Messungen mit zwei unterschiedlichen hydrophoben Oberflächen durchgeführt. Zum einen wurden silanierte Glasoberflächen, zum anderen thiolierte Goldoberflächen verwendet. Unterschiede sowie Ähnlichkeiten der Wechselwirkungen zwischen diesen beiden Grenzflächen werden aufgezeigt und diskutiert. Weiterhin werden die mit der MASIF-Technik erhaltenen Ergebnisse mit denen der thin film pressure balance verglichen und der Einfluss der Tensidkonzentration auf die Wechselwirkungen diskutiert.
