    Abstract:
    This review summarized our experimental studies of ultrasonically induced birefringence on aqueous solution of rigid rod-like colloids and rod-like micelles from the view point of dynamics of particle orientation. For rigid rod-like colloids in dilute concentration, the orientational relaxation time was described in terms of the Debye-Einstein equation. This indicated that the ultrasonically induced birefringence could be one of useful tools for determining the size of particles of anisotropic shape. For rod-like micelles, the birefringence showed anomalous damping oscillation when the rod-like micelle was in an entangling state. The mechanism of damping oscillation was discussed using the results of the rheological measurements.
