Description

Tetradecyl b-D-maltopyranoside is a crystalline polymer of high molecular weight that is made up of repeating units of tetradecyl b-D-maltose. It has a lamellar morphology and can be sectioned with techniques such as electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and differential scanning calorimetry. Tetradecyl b-D-maltopyranoside is a metastable form of the compound. It has been found in nature in the form of the monomer unit, tetradecyl maltosyl (tetramethyleneglycol) b-d-maltoside. In order to produce this compound as a polymer, it must first be heated to about 160°C for several hours, which causes the monomers to assemble into chains of tetrahedrons. The properties of tetradecyl b-D-maltopyranoside depend on its environment
