Structure/function correlation of thixotropic additives based on three leaf-like triamide derivatives containing three alkyl-chains

The effect of the solvent gelation ability of three leaf-like triamide derivatives, having three 12-hydroxystearyl or octadecyl chains, as thixotropic-induced additives was investigated. Furthermore, the clarification of origin of the physical properties of these compounds was carried out by monolayer investigation on the water surface. The solvent gels formed by the addition of these triamide compounds reflowed on application of external...
