Species measurements of the particulate matter reducing additive tri–propylene glycol monomethyl ether

Reducing particulate matter formation and emissions by using fuel additives is a topic of interest for the petrochemical and automotive engineering industries. A compound which has been shown to be effective in this regard is tri-propylene glycol monomethyl ether (TPGME). This molecule consists of three ether linkages, an alcoholic group and alkyl branching including primary, secondary and tertiary C–H bonds. Its exotic structural features make...
