Description

General description

Alkyltrimethylammonium bromide is a surfactant and can be used to study the forces and stability of foam films produced from soluble cationic surfactants.

Application

Alkyltrimethylammonium bromide has been used in a study to assess the adsorption of sugar surfactants at the air/water interface. It has also been used in a study to investigate dynamical features in cationic micelles.

Other Notes

Predominantly C₁₄H₂₉N(CH₃)₃Br but also contains C₁₂ and C₁₆ homologs.
