Article Abstract
Determination of the toxic diethylene glycol contamination in ethyl alcohol demands a rapid, accurate and reliable method. Diethylene glycol (DEG) ingestion, accidental or intentional, can lead to death. Clinical and analytical methods used to detect diethylene glycol in alcohol require several hours to days due to tedious instrument handling and measurements. Enzymatic assays face difficulty due to analytic problems. As an alternative method of data analysis, we have used γ-ray spectroscopic method to estimate the diethylene glycol contamination in alcohol by monitoring the variation in the linear and mass attenuation coefficients. This method is simple, robust, portable and can provide reliable and quantitative information about the ethyl alcohol adulterated with diethylene glycol which is of broader interest to society.

Investigating the Dissolution of Ibuprofen and Empagliflozin in Aqueous Deep Eutectic Solvent Systems: Experimental and Thermodynamic Modeling Insights.
Pharm Res
September 2025
Department of Processing, Faculty of Chemical Engineering, Tarbiat Modares University, P.O. Box 14115-143, Tehran, Iran.
Purpose: This study investigated the potential of a deep eutectic solvent (DES) to enhance the dissolution of two poorly water-soluble drugs, ibuprofen (IBU) and empagliflozin (EMPA). The DES was synthesized from tetrabutylphosphonium bromide (TBPB) and diethylene glycol (DEG).
Methods: The apparent solubility of IBU and EMPA was measured in aqueous solutions containing eleven different mass fractions of the DES at temperatures ranging from 20 to 40°C.

Flexible wearable strain sensors are rapidly advancing non-invasive devices, while achieving both an ultra-low detection limit and wide sensing range concurrently presents a challenge. Herein, we propose a liquid metal (LM) strain sensors manufacturing strategy employing aerosol jet printing (AJP). Specially formulated LM ink is the key to enabling high-precision printing (12 μm) of LM via AJP, which is optimized by adjusting the concentration of polyvinylpyrrolidone and diethylene glycol.

Squalene, a natural triterpene with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunostimulatory properties, holds promise for cancer therapy. Here, we examined a previously developed, diethylene glycol derivative of squalene (SQ-diEG) and investigated its in vivo anti-carcinogenic effects in bladder cancer. C57BL/6 mice were treated with 0.

Ether based electrolytes are promising for the realization of lithium (Li) metal batteries (LMBs). However, the oxidation chemistry of these electrolytes stemming from the disruption to solvent coordination by interfacial electric-field remains unresolved and challenging. Herein, we demonstrated that reinforcing the interactions between solvent and diluent to decouple solvation dynamics from interfacial electric fields could maintain Li⁺-solvent coordination integrity and drastically diminish uncoordinated solvents, thereby increasing electrolyte anodic stability.

Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) for silver sorption were synthesized using diethylene glycol dimethacrylate (DEGDMA) and divinylbenzene (DVB) as crosslinking agents. Synthesis was carried out using a ratio template: monomer: monomer: cross-linker = 1:2:2:8. The yield of obtained imprinting structures was 63.
