Description

Silver behenate is a model system for hydrogen bonding and acid formation. It exhibits the properties of a cationic surfactant, which is a surface-active agent that can alter the surface tension of water. Silver behenate also has film-forming properties, which makes it useful for preparing samples for analysis. This polymer is used in sample preparation to form a thin layer on a solid support such as silica gel or alumina. The reaction solution can be prepared by reacting silver nitrate with fatty acids and nitrogen atoms. The particle size of silver behenate is determined by thermal expansion and radiation. The particle size can be increased by heating the reaction solution to increase thermal expansion or exposing it to radiation to break down the particle size.
