Code: S175366-100G
Stearic acid (SA) is a fatty acid with a straight chain. On the surface of germanium, it forms ordered monolayered Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR)-attenuated total reflection (AR) spectra were used to study these LB films. A carbon supported palladium catalyst was used to convert SA with >98% selectivity to deoxygenated C17 products. Because of its non-toxicity and low melting temperature, it is a promising phase change material (PCM). It also exhibits almost no supercooling while undergoing phase shift.

In the presence of mesoporous solid acid catalysts, stearic acid can be esterified to create methyl stearate. Because of its waterproof properties, STA can be used to impart superhydrophobicity on a variety of surfaces. STA can also be employed to make stearic acid self-assembled monolayers.
During the sol-gel fabrication of nanoencapsulated phase change materials (NEPCMs), stearic acid may be employed to build the core.
