    General description

    Oleic acid (OA) is a fatty acid. Its quantitative removal from the mixtures of triglyceride and partial glycerides has been reported.[1] OA is widely used as surfactant for the stabilization of magnetic nanoparticles. Monodisperse magnetite nanoparticles (7 and 19nm) coated with OA have been prepared.[2]
