General description

Toxicity of hexamethylenediamine dihydrochloride has been investigated. Hexamethylenediamine dihydrochloride is also known as 1,6-diaminohexane dihydrochloride, 1,6-hexamethylenediamine dihydrochloride, 1,6- hexylenediamine dihydrochloride or 1,6-diamino-n-hexane dihydrochloride. Hexamethylenediamine dihydrochloride on fusion of 1:6-di-(N3-cyano-N1-guanidino)-hexane yields polymeric diguanides.

Solvent microenvironments are formed around individual single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) by mixing SWNT suspensions with water-immiscible organic solvents. These microenvironments are used to encapsulate the SWNTs with the monomer sebacoyl chloride. Hexamethylene diamine is then injected into the aqueous phase
