Abstract: | In this paper we report a temperature study of Brillouin scattering and optical Kerr effect in the ethane-1,2-diol dimethacrylate, pentane-1,5-diol dimethacrylate and hexane-1,6-diol dimethacrylate belonging to the series of dimethacrylate homologues. Using these methods we have studied the temperature behaviour of the hypersonic velocity, adiabatic compressibility and optical Kerr constant in the temperature range from 283 to 323 K. The obtained results are compared to those obtained earlier from Brillouin scattering and optical Kerr effect experiments for butane-1,4-diol dimethacrylate and 2,2′-thiodiethyl dimethacrylate (a sulfur-containing monomer). The results are also discussed in terms of changes in the intermolecular interactions and arrangement in the liquid compounds under study. |
