12. To the best of our knowledge, viscous fingering in chemistry has been studied only in relation to size exclusion chromatography where it was observed that it leads to peak tailing in viscous samples such as proteins, polymers and sugars (eds Norton, T. T. and Fernandez, E. J.), Indian Eng. Chem. Res., 1996, 35, 2460.
13. The surface tensions of the different aqueous solutions used in this study were measured using a Fisher (model 21) tensiometer, while the viscosities were determined in a Bohlin CVO 50 rheometer.
