“…In addition to DLS, it seems desirable to employ other techniques for revealing typifying fingerprints of CD rot and supra-CD rot in SDVSAS diluted below the Avogadro limit (e.g., their ferroelectric orderings and the electric dipole rotations of their H 2 O.) Their ferroelectric orderings may be revealed by dielcometric titrations, as the experimental data obtained by Ryzhkina et al (2012bRyzhkina et al ( , 2013 and their analyses by Yinnon and Liu (2015c) have indicated. Moreover, as the recent results obtained by Mahata (2013) suggest, such orderings and rotations of the electric dipoles of their molecules may possibly be revealed by dielectric dispersion measurements.…”

“…However, in the absence of such impurities, such as when SDV-SAS are prepared in plastic containers, H 3 O + or OH -ions are present. The pH of SDVSAS is affected by their molecular associates (Elia et al, 2004a;Ryzhkina et al, 2010Ryzhkina et al, , 2012bRyzhkina et al, , 2013. [The effect of the associates on the pH has been explained in paragraph vi of the discussion section in Yinnon and Liu (2015c For clarification of these phenomena, it should be emphasized that experiments have shown that the dynamics of SDV-SAS are that of far-out-of equilibrium dissipative systems (Elia et al, 2008a(Elia et al, ,b, 2010.…”

“…Perturbations (e.g., dilutions and shaking) reorganize their molecules. The reorganization is reflected foremost in the non-monotonic dependence of the dielectric permittivity of SDVSAS on C (i.e., this variable often is significantly affected by each dilution step and by the shaking of the liquid (Ryzhkina et al, 2011c(Ryzhkina et al, , 2012b(Ryzhkina et al, , 2013Lunev et al, 2014;Yinnon and Liu, 2015c)). The reorganization also underlies the non-monotonic dependence of other physicochemical variables of SD-VSAS on NDS [e.g., the surface tension, χ, the size and electrokinetic potential (ζ-potential) of the associates (Konovalov and Ryzhkina, 2014;Yinnon and Liu, 2015c)].…”

“…AFM data revealed that in addition to more or less spherical 10 -7 m sized chunks, micron sized elongated molecular associates were present in these residues [see Fig. 3f in Ryzhkina et al (2012b); Fig. 1 in Ho (2014); Fig.…”

“…Analyses by Yinnon and Liu (2015c) have shown that this SDVSAS has the characteristics specified in paragraphs I-V -the analyses pertain to the experimental data on the physicochemical properties of these liquids and on the sizes and electrokinetic potential of their molecular associates measured by Ryzhkina et al (2012b).…”
