description

The effect of block copolymer additives on the interfacial tension (σ) is studied for the systems polydimethylsiloxane/polyethyleneoxide (A/B) and polyethylmethylsiloxane/polypropyleneoxide by means of a sessile-drop and a pendant-drop-apparatus. Diblockcopolymers (A-block-B), triblockcopolymers (A-block-B-block-A) and “tooth-brush” like copolymers (A backbone, B brushes) served as additives.
