Abstract
Size and elastic properties of micro-particles suspended in liquid can be acoustically determined by ultrasound attenuation and velocity measurements with the aid of elastic scattering theories and a dispersion relation. While quantitative evaluation for hard micron-sized spheres using the theories is available in literature, that for hollow particles is not yet achieved. In this study, we show that the shell thickness and the elastic modulus of hollow particles can be quantitatively evaluated by ultrasound spectroscopy. Several kinds of microparticles including polystyrene rigid particles, polydivinylbenzene rigid particles, borosilicate hollow particles, and phenolic-resin hollow particles were examined as a function of the particle concentration.
