Notes:
The synthesis of carbohydrate surfactants bearing carbosilane, silane, polysilane and non-permethylated siloxane moieties is described. These surfactants consist of three structural elements: (1) a silicon-containing moiety, (2) a spacer and (3) a carbohydrate unit. Additionally two different types of mixed structures have been synthesized: (a) single-chained carbosilane-siloxane surfactants and (b) double-chained combinations of carbo- silanes, silanes and siloxanes. The wetting behaviour of the key intermediates, the allyl glycidyl derivatives, has been investigated by static surface tension (γlv, σ) and wetting tension (γsv-γsl, α) measurements on a non-polar perfluorinated surface (FEP® plate). The contact angles obtained for these pure liquids are not a linear function of the surface tension but depend on the polarity of the substructures. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
