AI Thread Summary
Creating a suitable chemical environment for sunscreen products containing titanium dioxide involves formulating different concentrations of TiO2 paste using glycerin or water. The discussion highlights the potential use of coupling agents or suspension stabilizers to enhance the formulation. While glycerin is considered, alternatives like coconut oil or shea butter are suggested due to their favorable spreadability and semisolid temperature range. These ingredients may improve the stability and application of the sunscreen product.

Hey fellow scientists.I have a burning question..I would like to make a similar chemical environment for sunscreen products with titanium dioxide present.Does anyone know the process of making different concemtrations of Tio2 paste using glycerin or water?i would really appreaciate some feedback..Thanks

I would use a coupling agent as well to or a suspension stabilizer as well. I'm nit sure I'd use VG as a base though. Try coconut oil.
 
Or shea butter. It has a wider spreadable semisolid temperature range than coconut oil.

Thread 'Solubility of MgSO47H2O in water'

It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...

Thread 'Why does having 8 valence electrons make an element inert?'

I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
