ABSTRACT

Despite being known since the early 2000s, it was not until recent years that deep eutectic solvents (DES) and eutectic mixtures began being systematically studied, as a cheaper and environmentally alternative solvents. The introduction of hydrophobic, all-natural, neutral eutectic mixture affords new applications, which need accurate thermophysical properties measurements. In this work, the surface tension of DL-menthol:octanoic acid (MC8) eutectic mixture was studied in the whole range of composition, from 298.15 K to 333.15 K. The role of composition and water on the surface tension is accessed and discussed. Densities and viscosities were also measured from 293.15K to 353.15K at atmospheric pressure.
