General description

Hexadecyltrimethylammonium p-toluenesulfonate is a catatonic surfactant capable of forming wormlike micelles.

Application

Hexadecyltrimethylammonium p-toluenesulfonate has been used in a study to develop a silica grafted polydentate copper (II) complex. It has also been used in a study to investigate the dispersibility and bundle defoliation of single-walled carbon nanotubes.

The shear thickening behavior and the transition to shear thinning are examined in dilute cetyltrimethylammonium tosylate (CTAT) micellar solutions as a function of surfactant concentration and ionic strength using electrolytes with different counterion valence.

The sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS)/cetyltrimethyl-ammonium tosylate (CTAT)/water ternary system has previously been shown to give rise to the formation of vesicles for well-defined compositions requiring an excess of one of the surfactants over the other. Two types of vesicular

New amphiphilic pyrimidinic (AP) compounds with two ammonium head groups and different kinds of counterions, inorganic bromide anions (APB) and hydrophobic tosylate anions (APT) were synthesized. Self-organization in these systems has been studied by methods of tensiometry, conductometry, potentiometry and

Cell plasma membrane fluidity is affected by membrane lipid and protein composition as well as temperature. Altering the cholesterol content of a membrane can change membrane fluidity at different temperatures and this may affect cell survival during cryopreservation. In these

The flow behavior of soft materials below the yield stress can be rich and is not fully understood. Here, we report shear-stress-induced reorganization of three-dimensional solid-like soft materials formed by closely packed nematic domains of surfactant micelles and a repulsive
