Fluorinated nonionic surfactants bearing either CF3- or H-CF2- terminal groups: Adsorption at the surface of aqueous solutions

Four nonionic fluoro-surfactants have been synthesized and their surface adsorption and micellization properties investigated. The compounds were perfluoroalkyl triethyleneoxide methyl ethers X-(CF2)m- CH2-O-(C2H4O)3-CH3, with X either H or F, and m either 4 or 6 (H4EO3, F4EO3, H6EO3, and F6EO3). A...
