The use of impulse-response photoacoustic signals to monitor time-dependent changes in physicochemical systems is described. The diffusion of a dye through a polymer and the effect of a herbicide on a plant leaf are used to demonstrate the viability of the technique.On decrit l'utilisation des signaux photo-acoustiques de reponse aux impulsions pour suivre les changements dependant du temps dans des systbmes physico-chimiques. On utilise la diffusion d'un colorant a travers un polymbre et I'effet d'un herbicide sur la feuille d'une plante pour demontrer la viabiliti de cette technique. Can. J.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
