Thin films of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) that are 100–500 μm thick were prepared by solution casting method. Various ratios of 1-methyl-3-n-decyl-imidazolium bromide ionic liquid [MDIM](+)Br(−), were used as dopants (plasticizers) to control the conductivity of the PVA thin films. Fourier trans...

Three ionic liquids (ILs) with acetate anion (1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate, [HMIM][OAC]; 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate, [OMIM][OAC]; and 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate, [DMIM][OAC]) were studied as entrainers for separating the benzene-methanol binary azeotrope. Isobaric vapor-...

In search for new enantioselectivity profiles, the N-decyl-S-trityl-(R)-cysteine [C10-(R)-STC] was synthesized through a one-step procedure and then hydrophobically adsorbed onto an octadecylsilica surface to generate a stable chiral stationary phase for ligand-exchange chromatography (CLEC-CSP)...

Novel series of amphiphilic monoazo dyes were synthesized using 4-amino-N-decyl-1, 8-naphthalimide by coupling with different substituted anilines and naphthalenes in appropriate reaction condition. The intermediates and the dyes were purified by recrystallization methods. The structures of the ...

An organo-montmorillonite was synthesized to generate a two-level antibacterial agent. The material (Mt-CP-SR) was prepared through the adsorption of sodium lauroyl sarcosinate (SR) on montmorillonite modified with cetylpyridinium (Mt-CP) and its structure was characterized by conducting ATR-FTI...

In this study, we evaluated the virucidal effects of chloroform, ethyl acetate, and n-butanol soluble fractions of ethanolic halophyte extracts, including extracts of iceplant (Mesembryantchemum crystallinum L.), salt sandspurry (Spergularia marina L. Besser), beach silvertop (Glehnia littoralis...

The principal aim of the present study is to develop a method for the production of cellulose nanofibers, from the banana peel (BP) and bract (BB). It is also the aim of this study to produce cellulose-based biopolymers through acetyl and lauroyl modifications. The microwave digestion method and...

Ionic liquids (ILs) based surfactants have been emerged as attractive alternatives to the conventional surfactants owing to their tailor-made and eco-friendly properties. Therefore, present study described the synthesis of nine new fatty amino acids based IL surfactants utilizing lauroyl sarcosi...

Self-assembly of surfactants is influenced by various intermolecular interactions and molecular structure, which dictate packing of molecules in the aggregate and its microstructure. Hydrogen-bonding between amide groups plays a key role in the self-assembly process of N-acyl amino acid surfacta...

Methyl α-D-mannopyranoside (MDM, 1) was subjected to direct unimolar lauroylation in pyridine at low temperature (0-20 °C) with lauroyl chloride. It showed regioselectivity at C-6 position and furnished 6-O-lauroyl-α-D-mannopyranoside 3 in 59% yield. For structural elucidation as well as to g...

The structural properties of pepsin-solubilized calf skin collagen acylated by lauroyl chloride along with succinic anhydride were investigated in this paper. Compared with native collagen, acylated collagen retained the unique triple helix conformation, as determined by amino acid analysis, cir...
