Colloidal systems are a subject of great interest in soft condensed matter research as well as in industry. But the ability to characterize colloidal systems with dynamic light scattering (DLS) is in general limited to systems with negligible contributions from multiple scattering of light. Therefore a variety of systems is excluded from investigations with DLS at high concentration and therefore increased turbidity. Often these samples were investigated under high dilution with, at least for some systems, a high probability of measuring artefacts. A promising solution to this problem consists of suppressing multiple scattering in a DLS experiment with a cross-correlation technique. Therefore we developed a so-called 3d cross-correlation instrument which enables us to characterize extremely turbid suspensions. After having found that the instrument works very well with model systems, we now demonstrate that complex ‘real world’ systems can successfully be characterized using this technique. An investigation of milk shows a strong dependence of the measured particle size distribution upon dilution. With the 3d instrument, however, the undiluted milk can be measured and artificial changes of the sample properties can be excluded.

This chapter provides a more detailed background to dynamic light scattering (DLS), starting with static light scattering (SLS), as the tools derived can be valuable for the subsequent derivation of the relevant electric field and intensity autocorrelation functions. The theoretical background is followed by a more detailed discussion of particle sizing and the evaluation of size distributions. The main section on DLS is followed by a description of new instrumental approaches to DLS based mainly on fibre optics, which allow DLS measurements to be made in more difficult environments. The chapter concludes with the introduction of a very new video-microscopy technique, namely differential dynamic microscopy (DDM). The two main applications of DLS in chemistry are particle sizing and the study of molecular aggregation and growth. A section discusses several practical examples, with particular focus on nanocolloids for their relevance in catalysis and self-assembled systems such as surfactants and block copolymers.

An aqueous suspension containing magnetic nanoparticles is not stable because the nanoparticles aggregate. As the aggregates size increases and the number of particles in suspension decreases, the rheological properties of the nanofluid, which are important for biomedical applications, change tremendously. Modified versions of the SLS and DLS experiments were used to monitor the nanoparticle aggregation and the results are presented in detail.

Dynamic light scattering (DLS) has proven as a successful technique both for the determination of various thermophysical properties of fluids [1][2] and for particle size analysis [3][4]. A useful special application of characterising fluids by DLS is the measurement of the dynamic viscosity [5][6].

We have synthesized hybrid anisotropic nanoparticles through two consecutive polymerizations of silicon oil emulsion of 3-methacryloxypropyl trimethoxysilane (TPM). Polarized and depolarized light scattering studies have revealed that these particles are optically anisotropic. We report here for the first time, the measurement of translational (DT) and rotational (DR) diffusion coefficients of these particles by performing polarized and depolarized dynamic light scattering studies on dilute suspensions. The average particle size determined from translational and rotational diffusion coefficients are found to be the same. Scanning electron microscopy images reveal that the particles are non-spherical; hence the geometrical anisotropy is responsible for the depolarized light scattering.

Abstract Dynamic light scattering is a new method for investigating macromolecular systems. The importance of the technique lies in its non-invasive character. It can be employed on extremely small fluid volumes, the instrumentation is relatively inexpensive and allows the rapid determination of diffusion coefficients as well as providing information on relaxation time distributions for the macromolecular components of complex systems. This volume is directed in part to the philosophy and current practice in dynamic light scattering: single photon correlation techniques are introduced, a discussion of noise on photon correlation functions is given and data analysis in dynamic light scattering to polymer structure analysis is presented and a comprehensive introduction to diffusing wave spectroscopy is given. Theoretical developments relating dynamic light scattering to the viscoelasticity of polymers in solution and in the bulk are described. The second aim is to illustrate the widely varying fields in which the technique finds application. Chapters are to be found on multicomponent mixtures, polyelectrolytes, dense polymer systems, gels, rigid rods, micellar systems and the application of dynamic light scattering to biological systems.

Polarized (VV) and depolarized (VH) static (SLS) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) experiments were conducted in dispersions of sterically stabilized silver nanoprisms in three different solvents where strong plasmon-enhanced scattering was observed. In the dilute regime, hydrodynamic sizes obtained from VV and VH were in good agreement with TEM data. VV correlation functions revealed two relaxation modes, reflecting the translational and rotational diffusions unambiguously. Increasing the concentration, the bimodal nature of the correlation functions was retained, and it appeared that the VH correlation function was more strongly influenced. Evanescent-wave DLS was shown to probe rotational and translational diffusion in the vicinity of a hard wall. It is suggested that DLS methodologies can be successfully applied to this type of metallic nanoparticles for characterization and exploration of their dynamics.

The ability to characterize colloidal suspensions by means of dynamic light scattering is limited to systems with negligible contributions from multiple scattering. For larger particle sizes with high scattering contrast this immediately limits the technique to very low concentrations. A very interesting solution of this problem is to suppress multiple scattering in dynamic light scattering experiments using various cross-correlation schemes. Based on these considerations we have constructed a so-called 3D cross-correlation experiment with which we are able to characterize extremely turbid suspensions. We have tested the feasibility of these experiments with well defined model systems such as suspensions of monodisperse and bimodal latex particles with relatively high volume fractions. The results are very promising and demonstrate unambiguously that such systems can be quantitatively characterized by means of dynamic light scattering methods without having to resort to high dilution.
