Abstract
We present a quantitative method to determine the phase transition temperatures between one-phase and two-phase regions of multi-component liquid mixtures via temperature-dependent transmission measurements with an UV/Vis spectrometer. The method is based on the fact that multi-phase samples are turbid, while one-phase samples are transparent. We describe the method in detail and discuss the choice of the experimental parameters (wavelength, sample layer thickness), a suitable temperature program as well as the data analysis. We prove the validity of our method by measuring the phase diagrams of two model systems, namely a liquid and a gelled microemulsion. The results are in good agreement with those obtained with the conventional visual method used for phase studies.
Kurzfassung
Es wird eine Methode vorgestellt, die es ermöglicht, Phasenübergangstemperaturen zwischen ein- und zweiphasigen Bereichen flüssiger Mehrkomponentensysteme quantitativ zu bestimmen. Dazu werden temperaturabhängige Transmissionsmessungen mit einem UV/Vis-Spektrometer durchgeführt, da mehrphasige Proben trüb und einphasige Proben klar bleiben, was sich in der Transmission der Proben zeigt. Wir beschreiben die Methode hier im Detail und diskutieren die Wahl der experimentellen Parameter (Wellenlänge, Probenschichtdicke), ein geeignetes Temperaturprogramm, sowie die Analyse der Messdaten. Um die Anwendbarkeit der Methode zu demonstrieren, wurden die Phasendiagramme zweier Modellsysteme – einer flüssigen und einer gelierten Mikroemulsion – gemessen. Die Ergebnisse stimmen sehr gut mit denen überein, die mit Hilfe der konventionellen visuellen Methode für Phasenstudien gewonnen wurden.
