Abstract In this study, we investigated the freezing point depression of liquids in nanostructures using a new thermomechanical method. First, we experimentally determined the freezing points of water, cyclohexane, and a certain organic material (Chem.A) in nanoscale structures using DSC measurements. Thereafter, we formulated a new equation by improving the Gibbs–Thomson equation, which is the conventional formula for representing the freezing point depression of a liquid in nanostructures. We introduced a new term in this new equation to represent the increase in the kinetic energy of the liquid molecule as a result of collision between the liquid molecules and nanostructure walls. Subsequently, we evaluated the solid–liquid interface free energy of sublimation materials by fitting the theoretical freezing point derived from the new equation to experimental data. In this study, we succeeded in reproducing the experimental data of freezing point depression using the proposed equation. In particular, the freezing points of cyclohexane and Chem.A in the nanostructure were better fitted by this new equation at 10 nm or more compared with the conventional equation. Our results show that the interaction between the wall of the nanostructure and liquid molecules affects freezing point depression.

By a method involving equilibration of ice and solution, and analysis of the solution, freezing point depressions of solutions of sodium citrate, oxalate, and fluoride have been determined over the range Δ = 0.45 to 0.65°C. Determinations with sodium chloride solutions have confirmed the accuracy of the method. In each case the freezing point depression is given, within 0.002°C., as a linear function of the concentration. By the use of these linear equations it is possible to prepare a solution of any of these four salts isotonic with a given biological fluid of known freezing point, provided the latter falls within the range studied.

Abstract The method of Kuhn and coworkers for the determination of crosslink density for swelled cured rubber was applied to unfilled peroxide- and sulfur-cured samples. Comparison with other methods confirms the new method. Experimental data for a number of filled samples is presented together with the mesh size of the network determined by the method of Kuhn.

The freezing point depression (FPD) of uvaia pulp with and without additives - 10, 16, 22 and 28% of maltodextrin (MD), was measured using a simple apparatus consisting of two major sections: a freezing vessel and a data acquisition system. The thermal conductivity of the pulps was also investigated as a function of the frozen water fraction and temperature using a coaxial dual-cylinder apparatus. Above the initial freezing point, thermal conductivity fitted the polynomial equations well. Below the freezing point, thermal conductivity was strongly affected by both the frozen water fraction and the temperature. Simple equations in terms of the frozen water fraction and temperature could be fitted to the experimental data for freezing point depression and thermal conductivity.

The following research was undertaken for the purpose of determining the freezing points of solutions under conditions which would involve a different systematic error from that encountered when the ordinary method of procedure is followed; and, secondly, for the purpose of obtaining ionisation values for electrolytic solutions by the cryoscopic method which should be made by compensation as far as possible independent of any systematic error in determining the freezing points.

An examination has been made of some of the extensive experimental data obtained by Bouyoucos and his associates on the freezing-point depression of soil solution at varying moisture contents, examined in situ.These workers find that the soil solution in quartz sand and extreme types of sandy soil obeys approximately the same law as dilute solutions—the freezing-point depression varying as the concentration, or in the present case, inversely as the moisture content. In other wordswhere K is a constant, and Dn is the freezing-point depression, at a moisture content of Mn. Soils do not obey this law, the freezing-point depression rapidly increasing as the moisture content decreases.

The. potential problem of detecting added water in lactose-hydrolyzed milk by cryoscopic examination was investigated. The extent to which hydrolysis of lactose corresponded with a given freezing point was calculated and tested experimentally. Cryoscopic measurements were related to the percent of lactose hydrolyzed in milk. Hydrolyzed milks readjusted to normal freezing points with added water were examined by lactometer and sensory evaluations. Although such milk adulterated with up to 25% added water could escape detection by either cryoscopic or sensory evaluations, the Quevenne lactometer could detect 10% added water.

Pacific herring, Clupea harengus pallasi, were collected at three locations in Alaska and Japan in winter and spring to determine their degree of freezing resistance. Herring collected from waters whose temperatures ranged between 4.7 and −1.4 °C showed serum freezing points between −1.22 and −1.40°C. All freezing points were below those expected from measurements of serum osmolality, indicating that a noncolligative antifreeze was present that added between 0.28 and 0.61° to the freezing point depression. In addition, osmotically active substances other than sodium chloride contributed to the freezing point depression. in some of the samples.
