Application of Solvent in Textile
Chapter-1: Introduction 1.1 Definition of solvents Solvent able to dissolve other substances. It is the liquid in which a solute is dissolved to form a solution, a liquid, typically one other than water, used for dissolving other substances, something that acts to weaken or dispel a particular attitude or situation. The substance in which the solute is dissolved is called a solvent. "Solvents dissolve the reactants and provide the medium in which reactions take place." Solvents work under the general rule of like dissolves like. The term "like" refers to the overall polarity of the solvent molecule and the overall polarity of the solute. Based on the dielectric constant which refers to polarity, solvents are typically broadly classified as polar, semi polar and non-polar solvents. A solvent is a molecule that has the ability to dissolve other molecules, known as solutes. A solvent can be solid, liquid or gas. The molecules of the solvent work to put th...
