Abstract

AbstractWith the three‐plate‐capacitor method, as described previously by the author, reactions and heating processes in freely suspended particles (diameter 5‐50 μm) were investigated by using the diffraction pattern of a laser beam. Change of weight can be registered, during operation, by the a. c. and d. c. voltage connected to a capacitor. This device enables information to be obtained, from inside the droplets, on the gradient of density or the precipitation of small particles and on the formation and solution process of a crystal nucleus in anorganic and low molecular organic substances. The behaviour of high polymer materials was studied during heating in the central region ca. 4 μm of the droplet.The diffraction patterns are similar to those of crystals (micells), but they do not show any crystal nucleus in the center. The application of heat, up to the softening point, gradually diffuses this cell arrangement. Such phenomena have not previously been studied within a droplet.
