Abstract
Solute-solvent interactions are studied using induced birefringence measurements in monomers solutions of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), dissolved in ethanol, acetone, ethyl acetate, tetrahydrofuran and dimethyl sulfoxide, over a broad range of concentrations. The data are combined with refractive index and density to calculate the electric, optical and molar Kerr constants. All related microscopic parameters concerning the molecular structure such as nonlinear Kerr constants, anisotropic factors, and optical anisotropy have been calculated.
