Investigation of molecular interactions in selected liquid diols and their diesters by optical Kerr effect and Brilouin light scattering

摘要

Optical methods, which are noninvastive and require small volumes of substance studied, are particularly useful for investigation of local structure and molecular interactions. These methods also proved suitable for investigation of monomers and polymers, which are so common in our civilisation and whose degradation poses and important problem in the aspect of the environment protection. Recognition of the processes taking place in polymers, in particular under the effect of optical irradiation, is a necessary prerequisite for design of materials of exactly predicted properties and able to undergo degradation after use.
