Engineering Physics Annotation << Back THE WATER STRUCTURE. EMULONS A.N. SMIRNOV Using optical methods, acoustic emission and by thermal analysis of the water supramolecular complexes sized 1…100 μm (micrometre) were found in «continuous» aqueous systems. Basing on the characteristic properties of these supramolecular formations we have named them «emulons». Sizes and spatial organization of emulons depend on the composition of aqueous solutions, temperature and prehistory of the water. Size specters of emulons reveal five fractions with characteristic sizes: 1…3 μm, 10…12 μm, 30…35 μm, 70 μm и 100 μm. The polydisperse structure of the emulons formed of the water, ensuring polymodalnost reply by the external affects, appearance hysteresis, considderable times relaxation. It is shown, that liquid water very easily change the structure. The most exciting thing about this is that all these threshold temperatures coincide with characteristic temperatures of water, in example, at which sound speed in water is maximum, adiabatic compressibility of water is minimum, water density is maximum, minimum of heat capacity, and with other «abnormal» points of water that is no coincidence. They are coinciding with of the temperatures emulons disintegretshion. The structure of water modification in the time investigation pay attention very much. Key words: water structure, emulons, acoustic emission, optical methods, thermal analysis , solitons, polymodality. Contacts: E-mail: a.n.smirnov@mail.ru Pp. 10-22.
