Water is by far the most widely used solvent in the preparation of gels, linear polymer solutions, and buffer solutions for electrokinetic separation techniques (ESTs). This is because of its unrivaled capacity to dissociate and ionize a great variety of substances (salts, acids, and bases). Ultimately, due to the large number of reactions that occur within water, it is the substance that makes life possible. Therefore, there are many reasons to take a closer look at the interesting properties of this unique liquid.
