| Abstract | Uniform spreading of oil on solid surfaces is important in many processes where proper lubrication is required and this can be controlled using surfactants. The role of oil-solid interfacial self-assembled surfactant structure (SASS) in oil spreading is examined in this study for the case of hexadecane-surfactant droplet spreading on a flat horizontal copper surface, with triphenyl phosphorothionate surfactants having varying chain lengths (0 to 9). It is shown that the frictional forces (F(SASS)) as determined by the SASS regulate droplet spreading rate according to surfactant chain length; surfactants with longer chains led to higher reduction in the spreading rate. The extent of such forces, F(SASS), depends on the surfactant density of the evolving SASS, and specific configuration the evolving SASS exhibit as per the orientations of the surfactant chains therein. Thus, F(SASS)=[k(1)+k(2(t))] Γ(δ(t)), where Γ(δ(t)) is the surfactant adsorption density of SASS at time 't' during evolution, and, k(1) and k(2(t)) are the force coefficients for Γ(δ(t)) and orientations (as a function of spreading time) of the surfactant chains respectively. As a SASS evolves/grows along with adsorption of surfactants at the spreading induced fresh interface, the k1Γ(δ(t)) component of F(SASS) increases and contributes to reduction in the net spreading force (S). With a decrease in the net spreading force, the existence of a cross-over period, during which the transition of the spatial dynamics of the chains from disordered to realignment/packing induced ordered orientation occurs, has been inferred from the F(SASS) vs. chain length relationships. Such relationships also suggested that the rate of realignment/packing is increased progressively particularly due the realignment/packing induced decrease in the net spreading force. Therefore, the realignment process is a self-induced process, which spans a measurable period of time (several minutes), the cross-over period, during which the net spreading force decreases essentially due to such self-induced process. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
