Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Colloid and Surface Chemistry
  • Computational Modeling

Background:

  • Previous work introduced a simulation tool for particle distribution in drying latex films.
  • Understanding surfactant behavior is crucial for controlling film properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To predict vertical surfactant concentration profiles during latex film formation.
  • To incorporate novel effects like surfactant convection and desorption into simulations.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a cellular automata-based simulation inspired by Routh and co-workers.
  • Incorporated polymer viscoelastic properties via the Routh and Russel λ̅ parameter.
  • Included surfactant convection by water and desorption upon particle deformation.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated the significant role of water convection in surfactant distribution.
  • Showcased the influence of particle deformation mechanisms on final surfactant profiles.
  • Predicted surfactant excesses or depletions at film surfaces or substrates, aligning with experimental observations.

Conclusions:

  • The simulation tool accurately predicts surfactant concentration profiles in drying latex films.
  • The interplay of various parameters makes surfactant distribution complex and unpredictable without simulation.
  • The tool is valuable for both industrial and academic researchers in materials science.
