Examinations of water solutions of organic liquids carried out recently using both photoacoustic
and ultrasonic methods have shown possibility of wider interpretation of the phenomena
of clathrate structures creation (quasi stable associates) and relaxation processes taking
place in water – glycols solutions. The discussion of the obtained results for mentioned above
phenomena is presented. This allowed us for the comparison and common interpretation of
the experimental results.
Keywords: water solutions, molecular associates, photoacoustic and ultrasonic methods.
