If your hands are visibly soiled (blood, feces, dirt, etc.) they should be washed with soap and water. I've also come to realize that if you have any sores on your hands it's best to not use alcohol rub because it hurts! I have really dry cuticles and get hangnails all the time and it's very uncomfortable.

Where to buy ingredients for hand sanitizer?

To make hand sanitizer yourself, you only need two basic ingredients; isopropyl alcohol and a thickener. The best thickener would be an alcohol based hair gel, because it will not curdle and will mix consistently. Mix the alcohol and hair gel together and try to get an alcohol content of about 60%, and you'll have hand sanitizer. So you can get the ingredients from any store that sells isopropyl alcohol and hair gel.

How volume of alchool is changed?

When mpc gel is immersed in various water/alcohol mixtures, a change in the gel volumes will be observed depending on not only the composition of the alcohol in the mixture but also in the chemical structure of the alcohol. In water/monohydric alcohol mixtures, the mpc gel will have an irregular swelling behavior with the change of a composition in the alcohol. Showing the so called reentrant volume phase transition. these volume phase transitions strongly depend on the hydrophobic group, the polarity of the alcohol. On the other hand polyhydric alcohol does not affect the swelling of the mpc even when the composition of the alcohol was changed. This suggest that , water molecules hydrated on the poly chains are with drawn by hydration of the alcohol molecules and the volume of the mpc gel is decreased. Therefore is good agreement to the hydration ability of the alcohol and it's polarity.
