Pre-formulation of biofuels: Kinematic viscosities, low-temperature phase behaviour and nanostructuring of ethanol/“ethanolotrope”/rapeseed oil mixtures
Ethanol/rapeseed oil/green additive mixtures are studied using phase diagrams. The temperature dependence of the kinematic viscosity and phase behaviour is studied. Dynamic light scattering is performed to detect the highest scattering intensity. The critical points and their temperature dependences are investigated. A correlation of the viscosity with the nanostructuring of the mixture is postulated.
