title: Determination of the dynamic viscosity of transparent fluids by using dynamic light scattering.
abstract: The application of dynamic light scattering to the determination of the dynamic viscosity of transparent liquids is shown by the use of low-power (10-mW) laser sources and a multiple-tau correlator. A novel data evaluation scheme is demonstrated by the application of a nonlinear fit to various intervals of lag times, which can detect relevant systematic errors. An appropriate experimental procedure permits results with good accuracy and precision for selected liquids.
