Light scatter bead

The model molecule consists on n + 1 light-scattering beads each with identical isotropic polarizabilites a. The beads are connected by springs (or segments in the previous description) which provide a restoring force linear in the displacement if some beads stray from their equilibrium separations. Each bead interacts with the surrounding medium through identical frictional coefficients f and, in addition, Brownian forces are exerted on the beads by solvent molecules, (see Fig. 8.8.1).

The latest trend is to smaller beads in smaller columns, as this saves eluent and shortens the time for a chromatographic analysis. This argument can be correct if only one suitable detector is used. However, these modern small columns are not optimal for a combination of detectors. So-called multiple detection is a combination of some detectors with different measurement principles (differential refractometer, spectral photometer, light-scattering detector, on-line viscometer) behind the last column, mostly in series, seldom in a branched ( parallel ) order. In this way, the tedious preparative fractionation of a polymer sample can often be avoided. 

Apart from polymers and indicators, the beads can contain a variety of other components that improve their properties or provide additional functionalities. For example, addition of titanium dioxide nanoparticles significantly increases the brightness of the beads due to light scattering [5]. The plasmonic enhancement... 

The third virial coefficient A3 is defined as the coefficient of in eq 1-2.13 for osmotic pressure II. Theoretically, it reflects the excess interaction of ternary bead clusters, while experimentally its knowledge is important for accurate determination of A2 by analysis of osmotic pressure, light scattering, and sedimentation equilibrium data. However, accurate measurement of A3 is not a simple task, and the available data are as yet neither abundant nor systematic.
