Analysis of surface layer properties of evaporating microdroplet of aqueous SiO2 nanospheres suspension with sodium dodecyl sulfate

Abstract

We studied the evolution of interference patterns and intensities of polarized and depolarized scattered laser light on a single evaporating microdroplet of suspension composed of silica (SiO2) spherical nanospheres (225 nm radius) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) dispersed in diethylene glycol (DEG). Our experimental set-up description and procedures can be found elsewhere in (Jakubczyk D, Derkachov G, Kolwas M, Kolwas K, J Quant Spectrosc Radiat Trans 126:99–104, 2012; Kolwas M, Kolwas K, Derkachov G, Jakubczyk D, Phys Chem Chem Phys 17:6881–6888, 2015; Jakubczyk D, Kolwas M, Derkachov G, Kolwas K, Zientara M, Acta Phys Pol-Ser A Gen Phys 122:709, 2012).
