Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a sulfur-containing organic compounds,  a colorless and odorless transparent liquid at room temperature, combustible liquid with a moisture absorption, both high polar and high boiling point, non-proton, the characteristics of the water miscibility, thermal stability, can be dissolved in ethanol, propanol, benzene and chloroform, etc. most of the organic matter, known as the "universal solvent." DMSO is widely used as solvents and reagents, particularly for processing of acrylonitrile polymerization solvent and spinning solvent for polyurethane synthesis and spinning solvent for polyamide, polyimide and polysulfone resin solvents, and aromatics, butadiene extraction solvents and synthetic chlorofluorocarbon solvents aniline. In addition, DMSO in the pharmaceutical industry as well as certain drugs directly to the raw materials and carrier. DMSO itself has anti-inflammatory analgesic, diuretic, sedative and other effects, also as the "panacea", often used as the active component of pain medications being added to drugs.
