Application

Tetradecane was used to study the thermodiffusion behavior of the microemulsion droplets of H2O/n-alkanes/C12E5 (pentaethylene glycol monododecyl ether).

Tetradecane is also used as:

  • A core material in the preparation of NEPCMs(nano-encapsulated phase change materials) along with sodium dodecyl sulfate as emulsifier, resorcin as system modifier, and urea–formaldehyde resin as the shell material.
  • A selective solvent to study the phase behavior of block copolymer melts.

General description

Tetradecane is an alkane hydrocarbon containing 14 carbon atoms. It is generally used as an organic solvent in synthesis Nonpolar aliphatic solvent, n-tetradecane, is good for aliphatic side chains, but poor for aromatic backbones.
