Dynamic laser scattering analysis

Particle size analysis was carried out on a Horiba dynamic laser scattering particle size analyser. Powder X-ray diffraction measurements were performed on a Siemens D500 diffratometer with a monochromated Cu Ka radiation source. SEM analysis was done using a Zeiss Ultra55 Electron Microscope. The gas tightness of non reduced half cells (substrate, anode, and electrolyte, dimensions ... 

Methods for analysis of the particle size distribution in the aerosol cloud include techniques such as time of flight measurement (TOE), inertial impaction and laser diffraction. Dynamic light scattering (photon correlation spectroscopy) is confined to particles (in suspension) in the submicron range. In addition to the size distribution, the particle velocity distribution can be measured with the Phase Doppler technique. 

Nicomp380/DLS Submicron particle sizer uses dynamic light scattering with a size range of 0.003 to 5 pm with unique modular options. An Autodilution unit that eliminates the need for manual dilution of concentrated samples [307] an Auto-sampler that permits automatic batch analysis of as many as 76 samples high-power laser diodes, multi-angle options and zeta-potential accessory. 

DLS (dynamic light scattering)—in dynamic light scattering laser light is scattered by the nanoparticles. Due to the Brownian motion of the particles, a time-dependent fluctuation is imparted to the scattered light intensity. Analysis of the signal intensity yields information about the diffusional motion of the particles, which is in turn related to the hydrodynamic size via the Stoke-Einstein equation. 

Both image analysis and electrical zone sensing observe and respond to each particle. Laser diffraction, sedimentation, and dynamic light scattering data are obtained from ensembles of dispersed particles in suspension.

Some popular methods of particle size analysis and their ranges of applicability are listed in Table 8.3. The methods used most often to analyze polymer emulsions, described below, are conveniently divided into three categories (a) ensemble techniques (e.g. laser diffraction (LD) and dynamic fight scattering (DLS)) (b) separation techniques (e.g. capillary hydrodynamic fractionation (CHDF) and disk centrifugation) (c) ultrahigh separation techniques (e.g. SPOS and electrozone sensing).
