Annotation

The scattered light correlation spectroscopy and luminescent probe techniques have been applied to study aqueous ethanol solutions. It is shown that adding $С_2Н_5ОН$ to water in concentrations below 10 vol.% results in adsorption of ethanol molecules on the surface of clusters, which causes an increase in their volume. Adding more ethanol destroys the clusters. An analysis of the polarization and kinetic characteristics of eosin luminescence shows microstratification to occur in aqueous ethanol solution in the range of ethanol concentrations from 20 to 80%. The scattered light correlation characteristics have been used to detennine the volume of one of the solution microphases.
