Brillouin and Raman Scattering Study of Ethylene Glycol Aqueous Solutions

摘要

We studied the cluster structure of ethylene glycol aqueous solutions by Brillouin and Raman scattering. We measured the ultrasonic sound velocity of the sample by Brillouin scattering. From the concentration dependence of the sound velocity, we studied the cluster structure in the solution. We showed that the number of H2O molecule neighboring a EG molecule becomes a little higher with increasing temperature and the intermolecular interaction between EG and H2O molecules weakened with increasing temperature. In Raman scattering study, We studied the hydrogen bond in the solution using the OD stretching band. We revealed that the strength of the hydrogen bond is independent of the EG concentration.
