General description

Benzyldimethylhexadecylammonium chloride is a cationic surfactant.

Application

Benzyldimethylhexadecylammonium chloride has been used in a study to assess the removal of cationic surfactants from aqueous solutions using activated carbon cloth (ACC). It has also been used in a study to investigate the prototropic behavior of the dye, 7-hydroxy-4-methylcoumarin (7H4MC).

The adsorption of the cationic surfactant benzyldimethylhexadecylammonium (BDMHA(+)) chloride has been studied at the hydrophilic silica-water interface by Raman spectroscopy in total internal reflection geometry (TIR Raman). This Raman spectroscopic technique takes advantage of an evanescent electric field that is

The prototropic behavior of the dye, 7-hydroxy-4-methylcoumarin (7H4MC), has been studied in cationic benzyldimethylhexadecylammonium chloride (BDHC) and nonionic poly(oxyethylene)(tetramethylbutyl)phenyl ether (TritonX-100, TX-100) reverse micelles using ground-state absorption and steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence measurements. The results have been compared with the

The nerve terminal proteome governs neurotransmitter release as well as the structural and functional dynamics of the presynaptic compartment. In order to further define specific presynaptic subproteomes we used subcellular fractionation and a monoclonal antibody against the synaptic vesicle protein
