Abstract

Dynamic ultrasound scattering allows us to investigate the particle motion and its average size via the time-evolution analysis of the scattering amplitude in optically turbid media. Recently, we proposed a novel particle sizing method that simultaneously analyzes the depth dependences on the sedimentation velocity and the scattered intensity without prior knowledge about the shape of the size distribution (Ultrasonics, 65 (2016) 59–68). In this study, the applicability of the technique to Fluorinert/water dilute and concentrated emulsions (up to 40 vol%) was examined. For the bimodal distribution of the emulsion, the size distribution of the particles was successfully obtained by directly probing the particle motion with different sizes as a function of the sample depth. The validity of the analysis was also investigated by comparing with conventional ultrasonic spectroscopy.
