Study of binary system glycerine-water and its colloidal samples of silver nanoparticles

Density, refractive index and viscosity of the binary system propane-1,2,3-triol (glycerine)-water in a temperature range of 283.15-363.15 K at atmospheric pressure were measured for all concentration range. Excess molar volumes were calculated from experimental densities and correlated using the Redlich-Kister equation. Also molar refraction and polarizability were calculated from experimental data on density and refractive index. Obtained experimental data can serve as an input for subsequent study of colloidal samples of metal nanoparticles dispersed in glycerine-water system, especially for dynamic light scattering analysis of nanoparticle size and zeta potential. Presented data were compared with those determined previously or obtained by different analysis with a good agreement.
