Room-temperature ionic liquids (ILs) have potential for many different applications, including catalysis and synthesis. Organics are often present during IL applications; therefore, a more fundamental understanding of the interactions between IL and organics is necessary. A systematic study of the effects of organic cosolvents, cations, and anions on the solvent strength of IL/organic mixtures will allow for a greater understanding and potential for tuning of ILs for specific purposes. Solvent strength is commonly quantified using spectroscopic probes. We report the solvent strength of IL/organic mixtures using Reichardt's dyes 30 and 33, Kamlet-Taft parameters, and phenol blue. The results show that the polarity of ILs is largely unaffected by the organic cosolvent; that is, the probes are preferentially solvated by the ILs. However, more specific solvation forces, such as hydrogen bonding, can be influenced indirectly by the strength of the anion/cation interaction, giving counterintuitive results.

Comparing to the solvent-based and waterborne polyurethanes (PU), the solvent-free reactive PU (RPU) is prepared via in-situ polymerization and film-formation of isocyanate-capped prepolymers and macromolecular polyols in solvent-free system. Thus, the carbon emissions and environmental pollutions are significantly reduced. However, the rapid polymerization also challenges the well control of structure and properties, especially the ordered microstructures.

Liver cancer is a prevalent form of carcinoma worldwide. A novel chitosan-coated optimized formulation capped with irradiated silver nanoparticles (INops) was fabricated to boost the anti-malignant impact of rosuvastatin calcium (RC). Using a 2-factorial design, eight formulations were produced using the solvent evaporation process.

Scaffolds for regenerative therapy can be made from natural or synthetic polymers, each offering distinct benefits. Natural biopolymers like chitosan (CS) are biocompatible and biodegradable, supporting cell interactions, but lack mechanical strength. Synthetic polymers like polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) provide superior mechanical strength and cost efficiency but are not biodegradable or supportive of cell adhesion.

This article investigates the influence of different solvents on the mechanical properties of biocompatible and biodegradable polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds. During the research, using electrospinning technology, 27 samples of polycaprolactone nanofibers exposed to different solvents were produced. A tensile test was performed on the produced nanofiber samples, and the nanofiber mechanical properties, yield strength, elastic modulus, and elastic elongation were calculated, and load-displacement and stress-strain dependence diagrams were compared from the obtained results.
