Abstract
AbstractThe interactions of fluorocarbons and hydrocarbons in liquid mixtures are known to be highly nonideal. Recent research has indicated that the unusual characteristics of such interactions have a significant influence on the behavior of many interfacial and micellar systems in which such interactions occur. Results from several different studies are presented. These involve (a) properties of partially fluorinated surfactants and lipids, including comments on the use of fluorine substituted groups as spectroscopic probes; (b) surface tensions of nonideal mixtures of liquid fluorocarbons and hydrocarbons and their interfacial tensions against water; (c) adsorptions of fluorocarbon and hydrocarbon surfactants to air/water, hexane/water, and perfluorohexane/water interfaces and a comparison of relative affinities; (d) formation of mixed micelles of fluorocarbon and hydrocarbon surfactants and evidence of partial miscibility of micelles; (e) comparison of adsorption of fluorocarbon and hydrocarbon surfactants to graphon; and (f) comparison of wetting of hydrocarbon‐like solids by aqueous solutions of fluorocarbon and hydrocarbon surfactants.
