Chemical Properties
White powder or flaky solid
Uses
Tetracontane is a long chain
n-alkane that has been used as a prototype of linear polyethylene to understand the phase behavior of polymer solution.
Uses
n-Tetracontane is used in a passivation layer in copper-phthalocyanine field-effect transistors for improving the charge carrier mobility and used to modify the quasi two-dimensional surface electron system on Au(111).
General Description
Tetracontane belongs to the class of saturated hydrocarbons.
