Temperature dependence of thermal diffusion for aqueous solutions of monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides
We studied the thermal diffusion behavior for binary aqueous solutions of glucose, maltotriose, maltohexaose, pullulan, and dextran by means of thermal diffusion forced Rayleigh scattering (TDFRS). The investigated saccharides with molar masses between 0.180 and 440 kg mol −1 were studied in the tem...

Zusammenfassung: | We studied the thermal diffusion behavior for binary aqueous solutions of glucose, maltotriose, maltohexaose, pullulan, and dextran by means of thermal diffusion forced Rayleigh scattering (TDFRS). The investigated saccharides with molar masses between 0.180 and 440 kg mol

were studied in the temperature range between 15 and 55 °C. The thermal diffusion coefficient

of all solutions increase with increasing temperature. For maltohexaose and the polymers the thermal diffusion coefficient changes sign from negative to positive with increasing temperature, whereas glucose and maltotriose show only positive values in the entire investigated temperature range. While we were able to find a master curve to describe the temperature dependence of
