A newly synthesized family of materials prepared with surfactant as organic template were tested for the extraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from water, using pyrene (Pyr) and benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) as PAHs representatives. Particular attention was paid to the evaluation of the recovery factors with dichloromethane as eluent in order to estimate their potential as adsorbing so...

Biofilm is a significant cause for membrane fouling. Antibacterial-coated surfaces can inhibit biofilm formation by killing bacteria. In this study, polyethersulfone (PES) microfiltration membrane was photografted by four antibiotic quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) separately, which were synthesized from dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) by quaternization with butyl bromide (BB), oct...

Zinc oxide (ZnO) possesses superior chemical and physical properties so that it can occupy an essential position in the application of nanostructures. In this paper, ZnO nano-rod arrays were synthesized by a simple one-step hydrothermal approach with assistance cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB). Exposure {0001} facets could be controlled adjusting amount CTAB maximum exposure nanorods is ...

The utilization of nanoparticle in ethanol-diesel emulsions combustion catalyst is important. For this study, ethanol and diesel fuels are emulsified varying the amount as 5, 10, 15% volume ratio designated E5, E10, E15, respectively, by using span 80 tween emulsifying agents. Nickel Zinc Iron Oxide (NiZnFe2O4) used each fuel sample with a dose rate 25, 50, 100 ppm. Cetyl Trimethyl Ammonium Bro...

Carvedilol (CRV) is an antihypertensive drug with both alpha and beta receptor blocking activity used to preclude angina and cardiac arrhythmias. To overcome the low, variable oral bioavailability of CRV, niosomal formulations were prepared and characterized: plain niosomes (without bile salts), bile salt-enriched niosomes (bilosomes containing various percentages of sodium cholate or sodium ta...

Morphological modification of bulk layered double hydroxides (LDHs) into surface-engineered, porous materials enabled effective, base-catalyzed liquid phase Knoevenagel condensation in water. The increase the number accessible basic sites on LDH engineering led to enhancement reaction rate, whereas significant changes relative strength were found cause remarkable differences chemoselectivities....

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(20)H(39)N(2) (+)·Br(-)·H(2)O, the 1-hexa-decyl-3-methyl-imidazolium cations are stacked along the b axis, forming channels parallel to [100] which are occupied by the bromide anions and water mol-ecules. The crystal is stabilized by O-H⋯Br, C-H⋯O and C-H⋯Br hydrogen-bonding inter-actions, generating a two-dimensional network.

The thermodynamic parameters of interaction between calf thymus histone H A and dodecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (DTAB), a cationic surfactant, in aqueous solutions of pH 3.2, 6.4 and 10.0 were measured over a wide range of DTAB concentrations by equilibrium dialysis at 27°C and 37°C and are discussed. The data are used to determine the free energy from the Wyman binding potential theore...
