Superspreading on Hydrophobic Substrates: Effect of Glycerol Additive

The spreading of solutions of three trisiloxane surfactants on two hydrophobic substrates, polyethylene and polyvinylidenefluoride, was studied with the addition of 0−40 mass % of glycerol. It was found that all the surfactant solutions spread faster than silicone oil of the same viscosity...
