Resumo

Abstract A novel series of water‐soluble polyethylene glycol–polydimethylsiloxane (PEG–Silicone) polyesters was prepared by reacting organopolysiloxane with hydroxyl‐terminated polyester. The polyesters are obtained by the polymerization of maleic anhydride (MA) and PEGs (number‐average molecular weights M n = 2000–10,000). FTIR, 1 H‐NMR, and elemental analysis were employed to characterized the structures of these compounds. These compounds exhibit good surface activities such as surface tension and low foaming. The influence of the PEG–Silicone polyester surfactants introduced at various concentrations (0.1–2 wt %) was examined by the contact angle method. The measurements performed with various solid substrates indicated that, at comparable concentrations, the PEG–Silicone polyester surfactants were shown to be more efficient for wetting PET and glass. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
