Light scattering from poly(acrylate)/E7 mixtures

A Light Scattering (LS) study of Poly(acrylate)/E7 mixtures is presented. T he polarized component Ivv is measured as a function of the scattering angl e for several compositions. The data are compared with the theoretical pred ictions of the scattering intensity in the case of isotropic and anisotropi c spheres in the Rayleigh-Gans Approximation (RGA) and in the Anomalous Dif fraction Approximation (ADA). Information on the size and optical symmetry of the droplets is obtained neglecting interparticle correlations and multi ple scattering effects. Possible correlations between the present data and previous transmission measurements on these systems are discussed.
