Ground Measurement of Molecular Diffusion Coefficients in Multicomponent Liquid Systems containing nanoparticles as a preparation of the DCMIX4 microgravity experiment.

摘要

The DCMIX research program aims investigating the diffusive properties of ternary liquid mixtures under microgravity conditions. Several ternary systems of very different chemical properties have been studied aboard ISS through several occurrences of the DCMIX experiment. Systems containing C_(60) fullerene in Toluene-Tetrahydronaphtalene will be investigated during DCMIX4. In the present paper, we report ground measurements of molecular diffusion coefficients performed under gravity conditions by the Open Ended Capillary technique.
