Spreading characteristics of thin liquid films of perfluoropolyalkyl ethers (PFPE) on silica surfaces and thermally bonded PFPE surfaces have been measured by scanning microellipsometer as function of molecular weight, chain-end functionality, and humidity. The effects of molecular weight are much smaller than those of chain-end functionality. Changes in spreading profiles with time show that interactions of chain-end groups with solid surfaces have dramatic effects on the structure and mobility of thin polymer films on solid surfaces. Wetting autophobicity is clearly manifested by PFPEs with functional chain-end groups on silica surfaces. © 1995 J.C. Baltzer AG, Science Publishers.
