Ethanol-in-palm oil/diesel microemulsion-based biofuel: Phase behavior, viscosity, and droplet size

Physical and mechanical properties of sunflower oil and synthetic polymers based bigels for the delivery of nitroimidazole antibiotic – A therapeutic approach for controlled drug delivery

“…The intermolecular forces play an important role in determining the viscosity of a system. It has been reported earlier, that presence of higher number of hydrogen bonds results in the formation of stronger three-dimensional networks between the molecules, thereby resulting in the higher viscosity of the bigels at low shear rates [48]. The shear thinning property of the drug loaded bigels was also compared with that of the marketed formulations.…”

Rhamnolipid based glycerol-in-diesel microemulsion fuel: Formation and characterization

“…The monomeric solubilization capacities of water, methanol, or ethanol in the microemulsion systems in the absence of glycerol were obviously lower than those of glycerol or glycerol mixture systems. Water, methanol, and ethanol solubilized in the microemulsion systems might probably have been located in the polar phase in competition with glycerol [22,23]. Additionally, water performed a little better than ethanol and methanol because of its relatively higher solubilization capacity in the RL based microemulsion system (see in Fig.…”

Toxicology and the biological role of methanol and ethanol: Current view

“…The alcohols are frequently applied in organic synthesis where it can serve for dissolving intermediates, extraction of intermediates or precursors 31,32 and as anti-freeze liquids 33 . Usage as biofuel and in fuel-cells is another application for the alcohols 34,35 . Their role in organic synthesis and energy applications are, however, less important from the toxicological point of view when compared to alcoholic beverages and drugs since poisoning can only be accidental.…”
