Resumo
O trabalho objetivou avaliar o efeito de surfatantes em soluções aquosas sobre a tensão superficial dinâmica e ângulo de contato das gotas em diferentes superfícies: artificiais (lâmina de vidro e de óxido de alumínio) e naturais (superfícies adaxiais de folhas de Euphorbia heterophylla, Ipomoea grandifolia e Brachiaria plantaginea). Seis formulações de surfatantes (Antideriva®; Uno®; Pronto 3®; Li-700®; Supersil® e Silwet L-77®), respectivamente nas doses recomendadas do produto comercial (0,050; 0,025; 0,100; 0,250; 0,100 e 0,100 % v v-1) e o dobro delas, foram avaliadas em soluções aquosas. A tensão superficial dinâmica e o ângulo de contato formado sobre as superfícies naturais foram medidos por tensiômetro. Os ângulos de contato formados pelas gotas nas superfícies artificiais foram obtidos por análise de imagens capturadas por uma câmera digital. Os surfatantes influenciam nas propriedades físico-químicas de soluções aquosas. As soluções contendo os surfatantes Silwet L-77® e Supersil®; nas doses de 0,100 e 0,200% v v-1; proporcionaram maiores reduções na tensão superficial dinâmica e menores ângulos de contato das gotas sobre as superfícies artificiais e naturais. Os surfatantes organossiliconados em solução aquosa foram mais eficientes na redução da tensão superficial e proporcionaram maior molhamento de superfícies natural e artificial. em alvos naturais, essas propriedades obtidas com organossiliconados são dependentes das características de superfície das espécies vegetais.
The aim of the work was to evaluate the effect of surfactants in water solutions on dynamic surface tension and contact angle formed by the spray droplets in different surfaces: artificial (glass and aluminum oxide slides) and natural (leaves surface of three species of weeds: Euphorbia heterophylla, Ipomoea grandifolia e Brachiaria plantaginea). Were studied six surfactants formulations (AntiderivaTM; UnoTM; Pronto 3TM; Li-700TM; SupersilTM and Silwet L-77TM) in water solution using the dosage recommended by the manufacturer (0.050; 0.025; 0.100; 0.250; 0.100 and 0.100 % v v-1) and twice that dose, respectively. The dynamic surface tension and the angle formed on the surfaces of the leaves were measured by tensiometer. The contact angles of the spray droplets in two surfaces (hydrophilic and hydrophobic) were obtained by the analysis of images captured by digital camera. This study reveals that the use of surfactants affect the physical-chemical properties of water solutions. The solutions with the surfactants Silwet L-77TM and SupersilTM for both appraised dosages provided the highest reductions in the dynamic surface tension and the smallest contact angles of the droplets on artificial and natural surfaces. The organosilicones surfactants in water solutions were more efficient in the reduction of the surface tension and increase the wetting area on artificial and natural surfaces. In natural targets these properties obtained with organosilicones are dependents of surface characteristics of the vegetal species.
