Dynamic wetting of a fluoropolymer surface by ionic liquids

The spontaneous spreading of ionic liquids on a fluoropolymer surface (Teflon AF1600) in air is investigated by high-speed video microscopy. Six ionic liquids (EMIM BF4, BMIM BF4, OMIM BF4, EMIM NTf2, BMIM NTf2 and HMIM NTf2) are used as probe liquids. The dependence of the dynamic contact angle on...
