General description

Ethanol is denatured by adding methanol as an additive, giving rise to the term methylated spirits. Denatured alcohol is used as a low-cost solvent/fuel for industrial use.

Application


  • Poly(sulfobetaine) versus poly(ethylene glycol) based copolymer modified polyurethane catheters for antifouling: This study examines the use of ethanol in the synthesis of polymers designed to reduce biological fouling on medical devices, highlighting its role in advanced healthcare materials research (Cao et al., 2024).

  • Green synthesis of polyimide by using an ethanol solvothermal method for aqueous zinc batteries: Ethanol is used as a green solvent in the innovative synthesis of polyimide structures, emphasizing its importance in sustainable material production and energy storage solutions (Zhao et al., 2024).

  • Modulation of gut microbiota with probiotics as a strategy to counteract endogenous and exogenous neurotoxicity: Research explores the indirect applications of ethanol in the solvent extraction processes used for studying neuroprotective strategies in medical research (Skalny et al., 2024).

  • Superselective Ablative Chemo-ethanol Embolization for Recurrent Single Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Six-Month Outcome Analysis: This clinical study utilizes ethanol directly in therapeutic interventions, demonstrating its critical use in oncological treatments to improve patient outcomes (Lee et al., 2024).

  • Self-Assembly Reinforced Alginate Fibers for Enhanced Strength, Toughness, and Bone Regeneration: Ethanol is employed in the processing of novel biomaterials designed for medical applications, showcasing its utility in the development of regenerative medicine technologies (Cui et al., 2024).
