Usage

General Description

Didodecyldimethylammonium hydroxide is a quaternary ammonium compound that is used as a surfactant and disinfectant. It is commonly found in various cleaning and sanitizing products due to its ability to disrupt and deactivate the cellular membranes of microorganisms, making it effective at killing bacteria, viruses, and fungi. This chemical has strong cationic properties, meaning it is attracted to negatively charged surfaces, which allows it to effectively remove dirt and grease from surfaces. Additionally, didodecyldimethylammonium hydroxide has the ability to emulsify oils and suspend particles in liquid solutions. However, it is important to use this chemical with caution as it can be toxic and irritating to the skin and eyes if not handled properly.

Powerful tailoring effects of counterions of ammonium surfactants on the phase transitions of solvent-free DNA thermotropic liquid crystals

Solvent-free DNA-surfactant thermotropic liquid crystals (TLCs) are new developed soft biomaterials in recent years. The phase transition behaviors of these DNA TLCs could be regulated by the chain lengths of used double chain surfactants. While, the impact of counterions of ammonium surfactants on the phase transitions of DNA TLCs is still not clear. Herein, a series of ammonium surfactants with different counterions were prepared and put into use of fabrication of DNA TLCs. With inorganic counterions, the resulted DNA materials exhibit distinct decrease on the thermodynamic stability of LC states along with the size increase of counterions, while, the use of planar p-toluenesulfonate as counterion leads to remarkable increased LC thermostability for the resulted DNA material, due to the different interaction between counterions and surfactant layers. These observations indicate that the LC property of DNA-surfactant complexes could be conveniently tailored by using surfactants with designed counterions, providing a new strategy for designing advanced solvent-free biomaterials.
