An absolute light scattering photometer: II. Direct determination of scattered light from solutions

Abstract

The light scattering photometer recently described in this journal by McIntyre and Doderer has been examined to determine its ability to measure the absolute scattering of liquids. The absolute scattering of polymer solutions was determined from transmission measurements and from two different transverse measurements. The experimental results are in good agreement. The variables of the photometric system were also analyzed and experimentally studied to determine its ability to measure absolute scattering of liquids under different geometrical arrangements.
