Electric Birefringence Studies of Micellar and Colloidal Dispersions

  • Chapter
The Structure, Dynamics and Equilibrium Properties of Colloidal Systems

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 324))

  • 457 Accesses

Abstract

Static and dynamic measurements of the Kerr effect in three different systems are reviewed. The first system is an aqueous dispersion of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) polymer colloid having a crystalline structure. The second is a polydisperse solution of rod-like ionic micelles. The third is a nonionic micellar solution near the cloud point.
