Herein we report the preparation of truly soluble CNOs by covalent functionalization with hexadecyl chains. These compounds are prepared in two steps: first, reduction of CNOs with a Na-K alloy in 1,2-DME under vacuum, followed by nucleophilic substitution employing 1-bromohexadecane.

Manual shaking-enhanced, ultrasound-assisted emulsification microextraction (MS-USAEME) combined with ultraperformance liquid chromatography (UPLC) with UV detection has been developed for the determination of five endocrine-disrupting phenols (EDPs) in seawater samples and detergent samples: 4-tert-butylphenol (4-t-BP), 4-cumylphenol (4-CP), 4-tert-octylphenol (4-t-OP), 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol (2,4-di-t-BP)

A new kind of surfactant named N-hexadecyl ethylenediamine triacetic acid (HED3A) was synthesized from anhydrous ethylenediamine, 1-bromohexadecane, and chloroacetic acid. Testing showed stability of HED3A in hard water, wetting power, dispersing power, and surface tension increased along with pH value.

The Oil Transfer Technique (OTT) was developed by Taisne et al. [1] to measure coalescence during emulsification and has been applied since in several studies. One of the main drawbacks of this technique is that it only gives a qualitative
