Ultrasonic velocity, density, and viscosity of polyethylene glycol have been measured for the solution in water at concentration range of 0.3% to 1% at temperature 50oC. Ultrasonic velocity has been measured using ultrasonic interferometer at 1MHz frequency. By using the values of ultrasonic velocity, density, and viscosity, various acoustical parameters like adiabatic compressibility, acoustic impedance, intermolecular free length, and relaxation time have been calculated. The change in these acoustical parameters is explained in terms of solutesolvent interaction in a polymer solution.
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.
