Synthesis,speed of ultrasound and associated acoustical parameters of epoxy acrylate of 9,9′‐bis (4‐hydroxy phenyl) anthrone‐10 solutions

Density (ρ), viscosity (η), and speed of ultrasound (U) (2 MHz) of pure solvents (chloroform, THF, and 1,4‐dioxane) and solutions of epoxy acrylate of 9,9′‐bis(4‐hydroxy phenyl) anthrone‐10 (EAAN) have been investigated at 303, 308, and 313 K. Specific acoustical impedance (Z), isentropic compressibility (κ_s), intermolecular free path length (L_f), classical absorption coefficient (α/f²)_cl, and viscous relaxation time (τ) have been determined from ρ, η, and U data and are correlated with concentration. Z, (α/f²)_cl, and τ increased with C and decreased with T, while κ_s and L_f decreased with C and increased with T in the solvent systems studied. A fairly good to excellent correlation between a given parameter and concentration is observed in solvent systems studied. Linear increase or decrease of acoustical parameters with concentration and temperature indicated existence of strong molecular interactions. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2011
