N-Hexylethylenediamine is a hydrophobic chemical compound that can be synthesized and used as a monomer. It has been shown to form gels when mixed with other compounds, such as acrylic acid. The specific interactions of N-hexylethylenediamine are due to its functional groups. These include amines, which protonate at low pH levels, and modifiers, which increase the viscosity of the gel. N-Hexylethylenediamine is often used in protein modelling because it has trifunctional groups that can interact with three different amino acids.
