Description

Application

• Surface-active agent enhanced FRET effect Cu-doped NH(2)-MIL-88(Fe) for highly sensitive detection of 3-nitro-L-tyrosine.: This study explores the enhancement of Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) effects in a Cu-doped NH(2)-MIL-88(Fe) framework facilitated by surface-active agents, significantly boosting the sensitivity for detecting 3-nitro-L-tyrosine, a biomarker for nitrosative stress. The presence of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide contributes to the increased efficiency and selectivity of the sensor system (Xu et al., 2024).


• Engineering Interconnected Open-Porous Particles via Microfluidics Using Bijel Droplets as Structural Templates.: This article details the creation of interconnected open-porous particles using bijel droplets as templates in a microfluidic setup. The study highlights the use of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide in stabilizing the interface, which is crucial for the structural integrity and functionality of the resulting porous materials (Masaoka et al., 2024).


• Stabilization of heavy metals in solid waste and sludge pyrolysis by intercalation-exfoliation modified vermiculite.: This research introduces a method for stabilizing heavy metals in pyrolyzed waste using modified vermiculite. Hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide plays a critical role in the exfoliation and intercalation processes, enhancing the material′s ability to trap and stabilize toxic metals, thereby preventing environmental contamination (Yang et al., 2024).


• Efficiency of single pharmaceutical surfactants to mimic intestinal biorelevant media solubilization and dissolution of etravirine: Comparison of intrinsic and film dissolution models.: This study evaluates the solubilization and dissolution properties of etravirine in intestinal biorelevant media using different surfactants, including hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide. The results provide valuable insights into optimizing drug formulations for enhanced bioavailability (Oktay and Polli, 2024).
