Polyurethanes (PURs) are very versatile polymeric materials with a wide range of physical and chemical properties. PURs have desirable properties such as high abrasion resistance, tear strength, shock absorption, flexibility and elasticity. Although they have relatively poor thermal stability, this can be improved by using treated clay. Polyurethane/clay nanocomposites have been synthesized fro...

the effect of different kinds of surfactants in various concentrations incorporated in an inert matrix, on the release of procainamide hydrochloride, as a cationic model compound, was investigated in this study. sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium stearate as anionic surfactants, cetyl pyridinium chloride and cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide as cationic and span 60 and tween 80 as non-ionic surfact...

1, 8-dioxo-octahydroxanthene derivatives have efficiently been synthesized from dimedone and aromatic aldehydes using [fe(iii)(salen)cl] complex as an efficient and homogeneous catalyst in molten tetrabutyl ammonium bromide. this methodology offers several advantages, such as good yields, short reaction times, simple procedure, and mild conditions.

The correlation between the growth behaviour and geometrical shape for CTAB-rich mixed micelles formed by the cationic surfactant hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) and the anionic surfactant sodium octyl sulphate (SOS) has been investigated with small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). Small tablet-shaped micelles formed by CTAB are found to grow only weakly in size with increasing surf...

The title compound, C(6)H(16)N(3) (+)·Br(-), is the bromide of the monoprotonated aza-macrocyclic triamine 1,4,7-triaza-cyclo-nonane (tacn). The threefold axis of the triamine is broken by the protonation of one of the three amine functions. The ammonium proton is bonded in an intra-molecular symmetrically bifurcated hydrogen bond to the two endodentate amine functions. Direct cation-anion cont...

In the last 2 decades, anticholinergic agents have been generally regarded as the first-choice bronchodilator therapy in the routine management of stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and, to a lesser extent, asthma. Anticholinergics are particularly important bronchodilators in COPD, because the vagal tone appears to be the only reversible component of airflow limitation in COPD...

Rhodium nanoparticles (NPs) effectively catalyze the decomposition of hydrous hydrazine to produce hydrogen under ambient reaction conditions. Rh(0) NPs with a particle size of approximately 5 nm prepared in the presence of hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide show higher catalytic activity.

A methyl ketone, an aryl bromide, an electrophile, and ammonium chloride were combined in a four-component, three-step, and one-pot coupling procedure to furnish substituted isoquinolines in overall yields of up to 80%. This protocol utilizes the palladium catalyzed α-arylation reaction of an enolate, followed by in situ trapping with an electrophile, and aromatization with ammonium chloride. t...
