						(Not sure where to post this?)  If Oil and Water mixed would there be an advantage to clandestine labs? Well it seems an Aussie just patented a procedure that lets water readily mix with oil. He removed the gasses from the water and oil ran to it like old friends.. I wonder if solvents would act in the same manor. I wonder if an advantage in extracting polar's with non polar's could be target specific and side step what pill manufactures have relied on in there efforts to fuck up extractions and reactions. Well I can see were oil based drugs could be injected, that has pharmaceutical companies interested in this. Perfume companies mixing there oils with water without detergents which some people have reactions too is another field looking into this. I wonder if we could capitalize on this in any way sense we deal with layered phases of polar and non polar in just about every thing we do. Just thinking outloud. Tighten Up!  (UH)

						Jacked: I read a doc a few months back that lead me to believe that this advancement was possible... I forget the exact location but it might have been on a Colloid and Interface Science site. I've been of the opinion that this technology can swing both ways...to our advantage in some ways provided the formulations don't change drastically and disadvantage if it's employed and used against Bees. The Polar/NonPolar properties of solvents are areas that Ibee is experimenting with at present... But other areas such as the one you brought up here are being look into as well. The Dot3 experiments hit a brick wall a year ago because it was hard to rid the oil after extract... I'll be looking more into it though! a little less conversation, a little more reaction

						Did they say how stable the emulsions were? We are all just witnesses.

						It's from an old nature article, as lon as the wather don't absorb anye air the mixture will bee homogen. Fun but with absolutly no practical use in the lab.

						Well who ever wrote that nature article should have applied for pattens, I guess they were to busy having "Fun" No practical use in a lab? The lab's that have plenty of P2P on hand sure is interested in this little tid bit of nature (Perfume manufactures). The Pharmaceutical lab's also have use for this bit of nature. I don't understand? Of no practical use in our setting maybe, but then again who knows. It wasn't a few weeks ago that everyone believed oil and water would not mix by themselves anyway... Think about distillation possibility's using water as a lower temp carrier of a normally high temp oil?? something along that line of thought, Could the substance be isolated again by adding the gas back to the water separating the oil from its mode of transportation? I ain't a chemist by any means and maybe my lack of understanding things is really why this whole thing intrigues me to Begin with. Who Knew! Tighten Up!  (UH)
