Properties of liquids, liquid crystals, electrolyte solutions and ionic liquids in thin cells and at interfaces studied using shear horizontal wave

Abstract

Viscosity properties of liquids, liquid crystals, electrolyte solutions and ionic liquids using the shear horizaontal wave are investigated. The measured viscosities of glycerol/water solutions well agree with the reference values. Using orientation treatment and application of voltage, the electroviscosity effect of liquid crystal is confirmed by this method. Moreover, the relation between viscosity and ionic conductivity of ionic liquids, which followed Walden's rule is obtained.
