Effects of hydrophobic chain structure on adsorption of fluorocarbon surfactants with either CF3- or H-CF2-terminal groups

Tensiometry and neutron reflection (NR) have been used to investigate the adsorption at the air/water interface of four fluorinated surfactants. These compounds were two single-chain carboxylates-sodium perfluorononanoate (NaPFN) and sodium 9H-perfluorononanoate (HNaPFN)- and two double-chain sulfos...
