The thermodynamic properties of binary liquid mixtures of (aldehyde + alcohol) are strongly influenced by chemical reactions in particular around and below ambient temperature. In two previous publications the chemical reaction equilibrium was investigated by 13C – Fourier transform NMR-spectro...

Aspergillus flavus is a ubiquitous saprophyte and is capable of producing many secondary metabolites including the carcinogenic aflatoxins. The A. flavus population that produces small sclerotia (S strain) has been implicated as the culprit for persistent aflatoxin contamination in field crops. ...

Penicillium expansum is a destructive phytopathogen provoking the blue mold decay of pome fruits and producing a polyketide-derived mycotoxin, patulin. In this study, the effects of exogenous essential oil decanal on development and patulin production of P. expansum were determined. Results indi...

Vapor-phase dehydrogenation of 1-decanol to form decanal was performed over various supported Cu catalysts such as Cu/SiO2, Cu/ZnO, and Cu/Al2O3. Among the catalysts tested in this work, Cu/SiO2 showed a high and stable catalytic activity for the conversion of 1-decanol to form decanal, and 77.4...

Liquid-liquid phase equilibria for ternary systems of water + (ethanol/1-propanol) + 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide ([Dmim][NTf2]) were measured at T = 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure. Influences of alcohols with different length of alkyl chain on the liquid-li...

In this research, the effects of decyl glucoside (DG) on the corrosion inhibition and battery performance of Mg–air battery have been investigated. Chemical and electrochemical techniques have been used to evaluate the corrosion rate and inhibitor efficiency. Mg surface has been characterized w...

The Kerr constant was measured in five critical systems of decyl alcohol with dipolar liquids covering a wide range of electric permittivity. In agreement with the droplet model, precritical anomalies were observed only in systems with mismatched permittivities. The amplitude of the anomalies wa...

The anionic surfactant sodium decyl sulfate (SDeS) at concentrations below its critical micellar concentration (cmc) was studied in a surface chemically purified state at the air–water interface in terms of its static and dynamic interfacial properties. Equilibrium surface tension was determine...

Photonic crystals are widely used in chemical sensing for their visually color change. In this work, by proper design of the dendronized brush block copolymers, one dimensional photonic crystals (1D PCs) films that turned to different colors with different alkyl alcohols, alcohols isomers and al...

The influence of decyl alcohol on the potentiometric response of three para-alkylbenzenesulfonate (p-RBS) electrodes is analyzed. The results are clearly dependent on the membrane surface polarity due to the presence of the alcohol. The ionophore was the complex trioctylmethylammonium–p-RBS, (T...

In the current study, electrospun-based ionic liquid (IL) doped polyamide (PA) nanofibers were prepared and used as the coating material of solid phase microextration device in the fiber geometry. Addition of IL, decyl-3-methylimidazolium mono bromate, increased the conductivity of the PA soluti...

The dielectric studies of a liquid can give information on its structure and interaction. Dielectric study of anisole has been carried out by mixing it with alcohols namely 1) 2-ethyl-l-hexanol and 2) decyl alcohol at different temperatures. The Kirkwood correlation factor, the excess dielectric...

Poly[2-methoxy-5-(2′-ethyl-hexyloxy)-1,4-phenylene vinylene] (MEH-PPV) is an excellent conjugated polymer and broadly used in the polymer photoelectron devices, but difficult to be electronspun directly. In the present study, the core-shell structured nanofibers were fabricated by coaxial elect...

Three new fluorescent bent shaped conjugated compounds have been designed and synthesized by linking two 3,4-dialkoxyphenyl units to the para positions of 2-methoxy-4,6-diphenylnicotinonitrile core via olefin bonds. The effect of terminal linear chains (like hexyloxy, octyloxy, and hexadecyloxy ...

We performed the synthesis, spectroscopic and electrical characterization of poly(2-bromo-5-hexyloxy-p-phenylenevinylene), BHPPV, and poly(5,5′-dibromo-2,2′-bis-hexyloxy-4,4′-biphenylenevinylene), BHBPV. We determined the positive charge carrier mobility, ∼3.7 × 10−7 cm2 V−1 s−1 for BHPPV a...

Developing carbazole derivatives as the electron donor for organic dyes have attracted extensive interest recently. Three organic dyes M92-94 based on the 9-hexyl-2-(hexyloxy)-9H-carbazole (HHCBZ) electron donor have been successfully designed and synthesized for dye-sensitized solar cells. M95 ...

A novel hybrid of a triphenylene–based liquid crystal molecule, hexakis(hexyloxy) triphenylene, and synthetic saponite, was prepared by the reaction between colloidally dispersed synthetic saponite in the presence of a cationic surfactant, hexadecyltrimethylammonium cation, and hexakis(hexyloxy...

Post-combustion CO2 capture (PCC) process faces significant challenge of high regeneration energy consumption. Biphasic absorbent is a promising alternative candidate which could significantly reduce the regeneration energy consumption because only the CO2-concentrated phase should be regenerate...
