Popis: IN contrast with organic compounds, there is evidence that small quantities of silicones are capable of exerting marked surface activity when incorporated in organic liquids. Often this activity is manifest even when the silicone is immiscible with the organic liquid. Such effects could imply that the activity arises, not through adsorption at the air/solution interface, but rather through the existence of insoluble films analogous to those established for aqueous substrates.
