Application


  • Surface-active agent enhanced FRET effect Cu-doped NH(2)-MIL-88(Fe) for highly sensitive detection of 3-nitro-L-tyrosine.: This study explores the enhancement of Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) effects in a Cu-doped NH(2)-MIL-88(Fe) framework facilitated by surface-active agents, significantly boosting the sensitivity for detecting 3-nitro-L-tyrosine, a biomarker for nitrosative stress. The presence of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide contributes to the increased efficiency and selectivity of the sensor system (Xu et al., 2024).

  • Engineering Interconnected Open-Porous Particles via Microfluidics Using Bijel Droplets as Structural Templates.: This article details the creation of interconnected open-porous particles using bijel droplets as templates in a microfluidic setup. The study highlights the use of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide in stabilizing the interface, which is crucial for the structural integrity and functionality of the resulting porous materials (Masaoka et al., 2024).

  • Stabilization of heavy metals in solid waste and sludge pyrolysis by intercalation-exfoliation modified vermiculite.: This research introduces a method for stabilizing heavy metals in pyrolyzed waste using modified vermiculite. Hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide plays a critical role in the exfoliation and intercalation processes, enhancing the material′s ability to trap and stabilize toxic metals, thereby preventing environmental contamination (Yang et al., 2024).

  • Efficiency of single pharmaceutical surfactants to mimic intestinal biorelevant media solubilization and dissolution of etravirine: Comparison of intrinsic and film dissolution models.: This study evaluates the solubilization and dissolution properties of etravirine in intestinal biorelevant media using different surfactants, including hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide. The results provide valuable insights into optimizing drug formulations for enhanced bioavailability (Oktay and Polli, 2024).

In this study, recipe optimization of Leuco Crystal Violet (LCV) micelle gels made with the surfactant Cetyl Trimethyl Ammonium Bromide (CTAB) and the chemical sensitizer 2,2,2-trichloroethanol (TCE) was aided by a two-level three-factor designed experiment. The optimized recipe contains 0.75

We demonstrate the large-scale organisation of anisotropic nanoparticles into linear assemblies displaying optical anisotropy on macroscopic areas. Monodisperse gold nanorods with a hydrophilic protein shell are arranged by dip-coating on wrinkled surfaces and subsequently transferred to indium tin oxide (ITO)

Phytochromes are red/far-red photoreceptors that play essential roles in diverse plant morphogenetic and physiological responses to light. Despite their functional significance, phytochrome diversity and evolution across photosynthetic eukaryotes remain poorly understood. Using newly available transcriptomic and genomic data we show

We address the rheology of assemblies of surfactant-decorated silica nanoparticles irreversibly adsorbed at the gas/liquid interface. Positively charged surfactant molecules (such as CTAB) bind to silica nanoparticle surfaces, and the resulting particle-surfactant complexes adsorb at gas/liquid interfaces. The surfactant molecules

Spontaneous organ hemorrhage is the major complication in thrombocytopenia with a potential fatal outcome. However, the exact mechanisms regulating vascular integrity are still unknown. Here, we demonstrate that neutrophils recruited to inflammatory sites are the cellular culprits inducing thrombocytopenic tissue
