Description
Dihexyl sodium sulfosuccinate is commonly used as a surfactant. It is mainly used in laboratory research materials and has the ability to promote emulsification and dispersion of substances in aqueous solutions. Dihexyl sodium sulfosuccinate works by lowering the surface tension of liquids by adsorbing at the liquid-air interface, thereby lowering the interfacial tension. As a result, the liquid can spread more easily and form smaller droplets. In addition, Dihexyl sodium sulfosuccinate has the ability to form micelles in solution, which aids in the dissolution of hydrophobic compounds.
Uses
Dihexyl sodium sulfosuccinate is a compound used as a substrate film in tumor treatment. It is an anhydrous sodium salt of sulfosuccinic acid and has a high resistance to radiation and oxidation. The hydroxyl group on the dihexyl sodium sulfosuccinate molecule allows the polymer to be dissolved in water. The receptor molecule, surfactant, can be used to control the particle size of the polymer. This product was injected into tumors to study its effect on tumor size and weight.
