General description
Squalane, a saturated hydrocarbon, serves as an aprotic and inert solvent in organic synthesis. Its fully saturated structure makes it ideal for radical reactions. Additionally, squalane is used as a stationary phase in gas chromatography (GC)
Application
- Thixotropic Molecular Oleogels: Squalane is utilized in the development of thixotropic molecular oleogels with alkylanilide gelators, enhancing the material′s stability and usability in various pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications (Ohsedo, 2023).
- Mucoadhesive Pickering Nanoemulsions: This compound supports the creation of mucoadhesive Pickering nanoemulsions that leverage dynamic covalent chemistry, offering advanced delivery mechanisms for active ingredients in pharmaceutical formulations (Smallridge et al., 2023).
- Enhancement of Rheological Properties: Squalane is applied in studying the rheological properties of small-molecular liquids at high shear strain rates, which is crucial for improving the processing and application of consumer products (Jadhao, 2023).
- Stabilization of Emulsion Systems: It is also used in emulsion systems as part of a sucrose fatty acid ester-mixed emulsifier, enhancing the stability and performance of food products and cosmetics (Hu et al., 2023).
- Thermophysical Properties of Alkanes: Research includes the comparison of force fields for predicting the thermophysical properties of long linear and branched alkanes, with squalane serving as a key example in these studies, important for chemical engineering and material science (Stephan et al., 2023).
