Amphiphiles with a dendritic structure are attractive materials as they combine the features of dendrimers with the self-assembling properties and interfacial behavior of water-air affinities. We have synthesized three generations of polyester dendrimers and studied their interfacial properties on the Langmuir films. The behavior obtained was, as a rule, the lowest generation dendrimers behaving like traditional amphiphiles and the larger molecules presenting complicated isotherms. The Langmuir films of these compounds have been characterized by their surface pressure versus molecular area (π/A) and Brewster angle microscopy (BAM) observations.

Petroleum is a mixture of organic compounds, with a preponderance of hydrocarbons and minor occurrence of heterocompounds. The oil interface-active components are involved in various stages of the production and transport processes. They have a strong impact on the formation and stabilization of emulsions and foams, inversion of wettability and deposition and adhesion of solids on surfaces. Asphaltenes and resins fractions are composed of supramolecular structures with greatest polarity and highest interfacial activity. The present work describes the interfacial behavior of films containing amphiphiles extracted from oil. Specifically, the study reports the behavior of interfacial monolayer containing asphaltenes and maltenes (saturates, aromatics and resins) in petroleum and the monolayer interfacial rheology of each individual fraction. Asphaltenes films were subjected to oscillatory tests carried out in the Langmuir Blodgett trough to analyzing the non-dilatational surface pressure. Films of the SARA fractions were submitted to compression and expansion tests. The results demonstrate that the asphaltene films are influenced by the change in surface pressure and the compression frequency. The frequency sweep tests provided the observation of a slight tendency to decrease the dilatational modulus of elasticity as the frequency increased (from 25 to 250mHz), as well as the decrease in the elastic modulus (from 137.11 to 8.0 mN /m). In general, the viscous behavior of the components is increased with the frequency increasing. The phase behavior for mixtures of asphaltenes and resins shows similarity to the behavior of the asphaltene fraction film. Isothermal compressibility of 0.0095 mN/m to 0.1208 mN/m was obtained in the compression tests and 0.0035 mN/m to 0.0389 mN/m in the expansion tests, corroborating the irreversibility of the monolayers
