General description

N,N-Dimethylhexadecylamine is a swelling agent useful for the enlargement of the size of mesopores of colloidal silica nanoparticles.

Application

N,N-Dimethylhexadecylamine may be employed in the following studies:
  • As pore size mediator for the synthesis of monodispersed mesoporous silica nanoparticles.
  • As swelling agent in the fabrication of colloidal mesoporous silica nanoparticles of a tunable mesopore size.
  • Preparation of 1,4-bis(N-hexadecyl-N,N-dimethylammonium)butane dibromide, Gemini surfactant.

Bacteria have developed different intra- and inter-specific communication mechanisms that involve the production, release, and detection of signaling molecules, because these molecules serve as the autoinducers involved in "quorum sensing" systems. Other communication mechanisms employ volatile signaling molecules that regulate

Oxygen homeostasis is important in the regulation of biological function. Disease progression can be monitored by measuring oxygen levels, thus producing information for the design of therapeutic treatments. Noninvasive measurements of tissue oxygenation require the development of tools with minimal

Chemical communication underlies major adaptive traits in plants and shapes the root microbiome. An increasing number of diffusible and/or volatile organic compounds released by bacteria have been identified, which play phytostimulant or protective functions, including dimethyl-hexa-decylamine (DMHDA), a volatile biosynthesized
