Application

  • Surfactant Applications in Oil Recovery: Research demonstrates the utility of n-Dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide in enhancing oil recovery under high-salinity, high-temperature conditions. The surfactant showed remarkable long-term thermal stability, relevant for industrial applications in oil fields (Hou et al., 2024).
  • Dye Adsorption Studies: The interaction of n-Dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide with alginate hydrogel beads was studied for the removal of Malachite Green dye. This research highlighted the impact of surfactant hydrophobicity on adsorption efficiency, presenting a potential for wastewater treatment technologies (Malik et al., 2024).
  • Role in Precipitation of Reactive Dyes: A study explored the effect of alkyl chain length in surfactants like n-Dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide on the precipitation behavior of Reactive Brilliant Blue KN-R, suggesting potential applications in textile manufacturing processes (Liu et al., 2024).
  • Thermoresponsive Self-assembly in Nanoscale Systems: n-Dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide was utilized to study the generation of thermoresponsive self-assemblies in Tetronics®, providing insights into the temperature-dependent behaviors of surfactant mixtures at the nanoscale (Patel et al., 2024).
  • Electrostatic Adsorption in Surfactant Mixtures: This research described the electrostatically driven adsorption behaviors observed in mixed surfactant systems including n-Dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide, pertinent to applications in coatings and formulations requiring surface activity modifications (Vilangottunjalil et al., 2024).
