Abstract
We report experimental measurements of sound attenuation in silicone-oil-in-water emulsions with varying volume fraction and frequency. These measurements are in good agreement with theoretical predictions for the propagation of ultrasound in inhomogeneous systems. Our results show that attenuation measurements may be used to characterize concentrated emulsions and to investigate ageing phenomena.Keywords
