Transient electric birefringence for the characterization of cellulose nanocrystals and tobacco mosaic virus

Creator:

Taylor, Melissa J.

Abstract:

The development of a transient electric birefringence (TEB) apparatus for macroparticle characterization is herein discussed. The experimental difficulties encountered were related largely to poor data resolution. Misalignment and strain birefringence in optical components further complicated results. Improved data digitization methods were developed, and precise mathematical models were derived in order...
