In addition, a three-point equilibration process was performed to account for sensing element variation at 50, 100, and 150 raw digital outputs.
In [16], variable stiffness springs are used, which allows adjustment of the point of equilibration.
Moreover, with the new apparatus it is easy to determine the end point of the equilibration.
The value reached at the equilibration point was recorded as the pO2 for that region.
The end point of this equilibration run was then used as a starting point for subsequent EVB simulations.
EEA took longer than the other three co-solvents, but the equilibration point was approximately reached after 60 min.
The final size, that is, the ultimate equilibrium emulsion droplet size, depends upon the equilibration point between these two oppositely directed events.
Unexpectedly, a common equilibration point was not reached in the complementary experiments starting with the co-solvent in the labeled or in the non-labeled S/EHA latex.
Like the low T g MMA/EA latex, the formulations of S/EHA latices showed a rapid shift of the emission maxima of blends 1 and 2 to the equilibration point for TEX, DPnB, and EEA co-solvents.
As can be seen in Fig. 2 and also in the supplementary material, most studies have clearly reached an equilibration point before the first in vivo sampling time and the predicted profiles have converged.
This was contrary to the hydrophobic latices of low T g, which showed coincidence of hypsochromic and bathochromic shifts at the equilibration point in first minute of blend formation.
