Mechanism and strategy of self‐assembly of quaternary ammonium surfactant molecules to regulate pesticide droplet impact and wetting of hydrophobic surfaces
The double N-head structure played a key role in the molecular structure of quaternary ammonium surfactants, and the hyperbranched ethylene oxide (EO) chain played a small role in the molecular structure. These results clearly indicate how the structure of key functional groups of quaternary ammonium surfactants regulated the interface adhesion of pesticide droplets on the leaf surfaces and explain the microscopic mechanism of their interaction. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.
