Tricosane is an aliphatic alkyl chain that can be used:
As a phase change material for electronic cooling applications.[1][2]
To prepare ticosane functionalized single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) biosensors for the detection of volatile organic molecules in human breath.[3]
A detailed study of the phase behavior of n-paraffin C23H48 has been performed by means of real-time variable-temperature experiments with synchrotron radiation. Two detectors were employed for simultaneous analysis of the small-angle (SAXS) and wide-angle X-ray-scattering (WAXS) regions. This paraffin
