General description

Thermal decomposition of methyl decanoate in a jet-stirred reactor at 773 to 1123K temperatures was studied. The oxidation of methyl decanoate in a jet-stirred reactor at temperatures from 500 to 1100K was studied.

Application


  • Application of mist to fingermark detection: Misting with high-boiling-point liquid containing p-dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde and cyanoacrylate.: This article explored the use of high-boiling-point liquids, including methyl decanoate, in misting techniques for forensic fingermark detection. (Takatsu et al., 2023).

Membrane function is fundamental to life. Each species explores membrane lipid diversity within a genetically predefined range of possibilities. How membrane lipid composition in turn defines the functional space available for evolution of membrane-centered processes remains largely unknown. We address
