| Application: | Ethylene glycol can be used as a reagent in cyclocondensation reactions with aldehydes and ketones to form 1,3-dioxolanes. It has been used: • As a carrier fluid during the fabrication of shear thickening fluid (composed of nanosized silica particles). • To compose previtrification and vitrification solutions for the cryopreservation of mouse embryos. |
| General description: | Ethylene glycol (EG) is a polyol having a wide range of industrial applications. Its preparation from cellulose has been reported. It can also be produced from fossil fuels (petroleum, natural gas and coal) and biomass-derived resources. |
