Tributyltin chloride (TBT) is an organometallic pollutant that is used as a biocide in antifouling paints. TBT induces several toxic and endocrine-disrupting effects. However, studies evaluating the effects of TBT on renal function are rare. This study demonstrates that TBT exposure is responsib...

Comparative studies of adsorption layer properties at the air/solution interface – dynamic and equilibrium surface tension measurements, surface dilatational rheology – and the drainage behaviour of microscopic foam films of aqueous solutions of hexadecyltrimethylammonium chloride (cetyltrimet...

This study presents the results of the electrochemical degradation of the emulsifier cetrimonium chloride (CTAC) on a boron-doped diamond (BDD) anode under different current densities and flow rates. Higher values of these parameters result in a more rapid removal. Nevertheless, operation at low...

Nanocolloidal dispersion of silver chloride was successfully synthesized in aqueous medium using three different cationic surfactants. In the one pot synthesis, surfactant molecules served dual purposes: they acted as the source for the chloride ion as well as the capping agents. Formation of th...

Structure and physical properties of monolithic polymethylsilsesquioxane (PMSQ, CH3SiO1.5) aerogels have been systematically examined with varied starting compositions using a sol–gel system containing surfactant n-hexadecyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC). The precursor methyltrimethoxysilane...

A novel inhibitor of ceramide trafficking, (1R,3R)-N-(3-hydroxy-1-hydroxymethyl-3-phenylpropyl)dodecanamide (HPA-12), has been synthesized using a chiral zirconium-catalyzed asymmetric Mannich-type reaction as a key-step.

The surface properties and flotation behaviour of aluminosilicates including kaolinite, illite and pyrophyllite, using N-(3-aminopropyl)-dodecanamide as a collector, have been investigated. The best recoveries of kaolinite, illite and pyrophyllite were respectively 91.5%, 90.6%, and 96.3%. On th...

The micellar properties of cationic surfactants (S) viz. dodecyldimethylethyl ammonium bromide (DDAB) and dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (DTAC) in aqueous media in the presence of diclofenac sodium (D) have been investigated by spectroscopic and conductivity measurements. The UV–vis and 1H N...

Micellar behavior of cationic surfactants, dodecyldimethylethylammonium bromide (DDAB) and dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (DTAC) in aqueous media has been investigated over the temperature range 288.15–308.15 K. The critical micelle concentration (cmc) and degree of ionization (β) of the mi...

We presented a facile synthesis route for the formation of highly ordered cubic mesoporous silicas SBA-1 (Pm3n mesophase) with rich morphologies over a broad synthesis temperature range and synthesis compositions by using dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (C12TMACl), a surfactant with a relative...

Dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (DTAC) is a quaternary ammonium compound (QAC) that is a widespread contaminant in environmental media and therefore of increasing concern. The synergistic effect with UV irradiation and persulfate (UV/PS) was used to degrade DTAC. The removal of DTAC was 91% wi...

Thermodynamics of micelle formation of the cationic surfactant dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (DTAC) in water and aqueous NaCl solutions were investigated. Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) has been used to study the effect of the added NaCl on the critical micelle concentration, cmc, an...

The micelle formation of dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (DTAC) in 0.01 M methyl- and ethyl-4-hydroxybenzoate (MeP and EtP, respectively) sodium salt aqueous solutions has been investigated at several temperatures in the range from 278.15 to 328.15 K by isothermal titration calorimetry, viscos...

The aim of this work was to develop and characterize a new type of nanocapsules. To this end, a nanoemulsion bearing an oily core (Miglyol 812) was obtained by spontaneous emulsification and stabilized by dodecyl-trimethylammonium chloride (DTAC), a commercial cationic surfactant; this nanoemuls...

Recently it was found out that different positions of the hydroxylic group on hydroxybenzoate anions (HB) crucially affect the thermodynamics of the self-organization of the cationic surfactant dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (DTAC) and also the structure of resulting aggregates. In our previo...

The properties of binary liquid mixtures of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium [BF4]/[PF6] with diethylene glycol methyl ether or diethylene glycol dimethyl ether were studied in the full composition range as a function of temperature. Excess and mixing properties were obtained from experimental densit...
