General description

Surface tension and binding constants were studied for 1,5-hexanediol.

Application

  • Metadynamics of polyalcohol dehydration in water: This study provides insights into the dehydration mechanisms of polyalcohols like 1,5-Hexanediol, relevant for understanding their behavior in aqueous environments, useful for drug delivery systems and biomedical applications (Ruiz-Barragan et al., 2015).
  • Direct Copolymerization of CO2 and Diols: This research explores the copolymerization of CO2 with diols including 1,5-Hexanediol, pointing to sustainable polymer production methods that are crucial for material science (Tamura et al., 2016).
