Twelve different lipophilic organic cations (tetraethyl-, tetrapropyl-, tetrabutyl-, tetrapentyl-, tetrahexyl-, tetraheptyl-, decyltrimethyl-, cetyltrimethyl-, and benzyltriethylammonium bromides; and dibenzyldimethylammonium chloride, N-1-dodecylnicotinamide chloride, and cetylpyridinium bromide) depressed respiratory control in rat liver mitochondria. Evaluation of mitochondrial responses in ...

The present study describes the conductometric and spectroscopic study of the interaction of reactive anionic dyes, namely, reactive red 223 and reactive orange 122 with the cationic surfactant cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB). In a systematic investigation, the electrical conductivity data was used to calculate various thermodynamic parameters such as free energy (ΔG), enthalpy (ΔH), and...

The forces between a flat gold surface and a gold-coated silica sphere have been measured in water using an atomic force microscope. A long-range attractive interaction is observed which is ascribed to the van der Waals interaction between the two surfaces. The force data agree extremely well with recent, calculated values of the Hamaker function (including retardation) for gold/water/gold. The...

This study aimed to enhance the efficiency of construction waste bricks (PRBPs) in removing diclofenac (DFC) by preparing surfactant-modified (CCBPs) as adsorbents. The properties adsorbents were analyzed, and parameters related adsorption process examined. findings demonstrate that addition cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) significantly improved ability adsorb DCF. pH values affected beh...

We report synthesis of cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) stabilized Zn1+xSnO3+x (0 ≤ x ≤1) nano-crystallites by facile cost-effective wet chemistry route. The X-ray diffraction patterns of as-synthesized powders at the Zn/Sn ratio of 1 exhibited formation of ZnSn(OH)6. Increasing the Zn/Sn ratio further resulted in the precipitation of an additional phase corresponding to Zn(OH)2. The deco...

in this work, a new, simple and fast method for the solid phase extraction-spectrophotometric determination of phosphate using cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide immobilized on alumina-coated magnetite nanoparticles (ctab@acmnps) has been developed. the determination of phosphate is based on the molybdenum blue method which was monitored at λmax of 810 nm. mnps and acmnps characterized by sem, vsm...

A simple and accurate label-free amperometric immunosensor for α-fetoprotein (AFP) detection is developed based on gold nanorods (GNRs) with different aspect ratio and compared with gold particles (GNPs). The positively charged GNRs and GNPs due to the surface immobilized cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) can adsorb the negatively charged AFP antibody (Ab) directly. The presence of the GNR...

Adding nanoparticles in a drilling fluid can aid the sealing of nanopores borehole wall rock and mud cake; this way, filtrate loss be reduced is stabilized. In work, spectrophotometric method was used to study effect dispersants on calcium carbonate nanoparticles. The best dispersion achieved at cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) concentration 4 wt%, dispersing time 45 min, pH value 8 stirr...

Palladium/iron bimetallic nanoparticles were synthesized using microemulsion method in the water-in-oil (W/O) microemulsion system, which was made up of iso-octane, cetyltrimethyl-ammonium bromide (CTAB), butanol and water and characterized by measuring the conductivity of the solution. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDX) analysis showed that t...
