Application

Trimethyloctylammonium chloride (TOMAC) is a cationic surfactant that can be used:
  • To separate SiC from ground SiO2 by flotation method.
  • To prepare porous organosilicates using 1,2-bis(trimethoxysilyl)ethane as a silica precursor.

Sensory-selective local anesthesia has long been a key goal in local anesthetic development. For example, it allows women to be pain-free during labor without compromising their ability to push. Here we show that prolonged sensory-selective nerve block can be produced

We present a molecular dynamics simulation at 300 K in explicit solvent environment of chloroform of the stoichiometric complex formed by poly(alpha,L-glutamate) and octyltrimethylammonium ions. We observed that the alpha-helix conformation of the polypeptide chain remains stable during a 2-ns
