Lauryldimethylamine oxide Lauryldimethylamine oxide Lauryldimethylamine oxide (LDAO), also known as dodecyldimethylamine oxide (DDAO), is an amine oxide based nonionic surfactant, with a C (dodecyl) alkyl tail. It is one of the most frequently-used surfactants of this type. Like other amine oxide based surfactants it is antimicrobial, being effective against common bacteria such as "S. aureus" and "E. coli", however it is also non-denaturing and may be used to solubilize proteins. At high concentrations, DDAO forms liquid crystalline phases. Despite having only one polar atom that is able to interact with water – the oxygen atom (the quaternary nitrogen atom is hidden from
10-Methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate 10-Methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate MDP Monomer (10-Methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate) is used for dental adhesive materials. The phosphate monomer was developed by Kuraray co., Ltd. with focus on the dental adhesion technology in 1981. 10-MDP MDP is synthesized according to the following reaction. At first, 10-hydroxydecy methacrylate is synthesized by reaction with methacrylic acid and 1,10-decandiol. Next, phosphoryl chloride is added to 10-hydroxydecy methacrylate, then, the bonding of P-Cl is hydrolyzed. In the late 1970s, tooth adhesion phosphate monomer: 2-methacryloyloxethyl phenyl hydrogen phosphate (Phenyl-P) was developed for tooth substance saving restoration technique. 4-Methacryloyloxyethyl trimellitic acid anhydride (4-META) that adhere to not only
