Description

Application

Hexyltrimethylammonium bromide (HTAB) can be used as:

• A phase transfer catalyst to synthesize polyether via polycondensation of α, α′-dichloro-p-xylene with 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane.
• A reagent in the preparation of ZSM-5 zeolites to tune ZSM-5 particles with a scroll-like shape and hierarchical pores.
• A surface-active agent to create the hydrophobic environment around metal nanoparticles (MNPs) even in water. This technique is highly suitable for using MNPs as electron-counting components in biosensors.
