Dioctadecyl Ether (CAS 6297-03-6)
QUICK LINKS
Dioctadecyl ether (DOD) is a synthetic, non-ionic surfactant that finds widespread applications in laboratory, industrial, and consumer settings. Belonging to the alkyl ether family, it has the molecular formula C36H74O6. Dioctadecyl Ether serves as an emulsifying agent, dispersant, and stabilizer in various products. It also functions as a lubricant, wetting agent, and solubilizer. The versatility of Dioctadecyl Ether, along with its diverse properties, makes it useful for scientists and engineers. In scientific research, Dioctadecyl ether is utilized for a multitude of purposes. It serves as an emulsifying agent and stabilizer in the production of emulsions and suspensions. Furthermore, it acts as a solubilizer and wetting agent in the creation of liposomes and nanoparticles. Dioctadecyl ether also plays a role as a surfactant in the manufacturing of microemulsions and polymeric nanomaterials. Additionally, it serves as a lubricant in nanomaterial production and a dispersant in colloidal production. The mechanism of action for Dioctadecyl ether stems from its ability to decrease the surface tension of aqueous solutions. It achieves this by forming a monolayer of molecules at the solution′s surface, thereby reducing surface tension and impeding droplet formation. The monolayer additionally acts as a barrier, preventing the diffusion of water molecules into the solution. By stabilizing the solution, it hinders the formation of micelles, which could otherwise diminish the solubility of dissolved substances.
