General description

1-Hexadecene, a long-chain alpha-olefin (LAO)containing 16 carbon atoms, commonly used as a precursor in the production ofsynthetic detergents, plasticizers, and various chemicals for the chemicalindustry. Additionally, it is a key component in commercial LAO blends,contributing to the manufacturing of tanning oils, synthetic fatty acids, anddrilling fluids.

Application

  • Development of petroleum lubricating oil additives: A study evaluated newly synthesized copolymers and their montmorillonite nanocomposites as cold flow improvers for petroleum lubricating oils, including formulations with 1-Hexadecene, demonstrating enhanced flow properties (El-Bahnasawi et al., 2023).
  • Attractants for biocontrol agents: Research identified volatile blends containing 1-Hexadecene that attract the biocontrol agent Galerucella placida, suggesting applications in agricultural pest management (Koner et al., 2022).
  • Adsorbent materials for oil spill cleanup: A study explored the modification of commercial sponges with 1-Hexadecene-based polymers for efficient adsorption of crude oil and organic solvents, highlighting potential environmental cleanup applications (Jin et al., 2022).
  • Surface engineering for hydrophobicity: 1-Hexadecene was used to create organosilane micropatterns on surfaces, improving their hydrophobic properties, relevant in material science and surface engineering (Soliman et al., 2021).
