Pm. Mehl, CRYOMICROSCOPIC DETERMINATION OF ICE CRYSTAL-GROWTH IN THE SYSTEM 2,4-PENTANEDIOL WATER, Journal of crystal growth, 158(1-2), 1996, pp. 177-180
The system 2,4-pentanediol/water is studied using differential scannin
g calorimetry and cryomicroscopy. The phase diagram at low temperature
s is presented. Ice crystal growth rates are calculated from direct cr
yomicroscopic observations. These rates are found to be proportional t
o the ratio of the supercooling to the viscosity of the solution.
