1-Dodecanol (CAS 112-53-8)
QUICK LINKS
1-Dodecanol is a long-chain fatty alcohol that functions as a surfactant in experimental applications. It acts by reducing the surface tension of liquids, allowing for improved wetting and spreading on solid surfaces. 1-Dodecanol′s mode of action involves its interaction with the interface between two immiscible phases, such as oil and water, due to its amphiphilic nature. At the molecular level, 1-Dodecanol aligns itself at the interface, with the hydrophobic tail in the oil phase and the hydrophilic head in the water phase, resulting in a reduction of surface tension. This surfactant property makes it useful in various experimental processes, such as emulsification, dispersion, and stabilization of colloidal systems. In research and development applications, 1-Dodecanol′s function as a surfactant enables the manipulation of interfacial properties, facilitating the study of interfacial phenomena and the formulation of various experimental systems.
