| Application: | • 1-Octadecanol is used in the synthesis of O-octadecyl-S-trifluorothiolcarbonate, which is a storable crystalline source of trifluoromethanethiol. • It can be used to improve solution processability of conjugated polymers used in the organic electronic applications. • It induces hydrophobicity to the amphiphiles used in the drug and gene delivery. • It is also employed in the synthesis of solid-liquid phase change materials (PCMs), surfactant and stabilizers. |
