Ultrasound attenuation spectroscopy
Ultrasound attenuation spectroscopy is a method for characterizing properties of
dispersed particles
. It is also known as acoustic spectroscopy.
There is an international standard for this method.[1][2]
Measurement of
heterogeneous systems such as emulsions and colloids. In the case of acoustic rheometers, the raw data are converted into extensional viscosity or volume viscosity
.
Instruments that employ ultrasound attenuation spectroscopy are referred to as Acoustic spectrometers.
