Thymol-based deep eutectic solvents: a comprehensive overview of classifications, preparation methods, stability, and thermophysical properties
Year: 2026
Type: review
Abstract: capture systems with tunable absorption performance; and bioactive roles, including antibacterial and antifungal activity. Emerging applications, such as hydrophobic eutectogels, biomass processing, transdermal drug delivery, green synthesis of functional nanomaterials, and bioactive plasticizers for sustainable food packaging, are also discussed to underscore their growing interdisciplinary relevance. By consolidating current knowledge and identifying existing research gaps, this review aims to provide valuable insights into the design, properties, and future potential of thymol-based DESs as multifunctional and sustainable solvents for advanced scientific and industrial applications.
