General description

1-Decene is a linear alpha-olefin monomer used to produce poly-alpha-olefins (PAOs), which are crucial in various industrial applications, including lubricant formulation and as a co-monomer in the production of specialty polymers.

Application

  • Polymerization Catalyst Research with 1-Decene: A study on high molecular weight copolymers incorporating 1-Decene highlights advanced polymerization techniques using Lewis acid catalysts, essential for producing materials with specific mechanical properties (Wan et al., 2024).
  • 1-Decene in Biodegradable Polymer Development: Research into the molecular dynamics of 1-Decene oligomers assesses their suitability in the synthesis of high-performance, biodegradable polymers, contributing to more sustainable material solutions (Mercier Franco and Firoozabadi, 2023).
  • 1-Decene as a Precursor in Surfactant Production: An examination of the thermophysical properties of long linear and branched alkanes, including 1-Decene, provides insights into their potential as precursors for surfactant production, crucial for chemical engineering applications (Schmitt et al., 2023).

Excitation-evoked Ca(2+) influx is the fastest and most ubiquitous chemical trigger for cellular processes, including neurotransmitter release, muscle contraction, and gene expression. The voltage dependence and timing of Ca(2+) entry are thought to be functions of voltage-gated calcium (CaV) channels
