Method for Measuring the Properties of Liquid by a Single QCM at Different Temperatures

Abstract

As an ultra-sensitive mass sensing device, quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) is widely used in gas phase and liquid phase. Previous research reported a novel theoretical model and a new method to separate measurement of density and viscosity of liquid only using a single QCM, based on the analysis of frequency response at room temperature. In this paper, current experimental results demonstrate the method for measuring properties of liquid by using a single QCM is valid at different temperatures.
