Light Scattering Study Of Elongated Particles: From Inorganic Nanorice To Polypeptide Micelles, Philip Dee Sep 2012

Light Scattering Study Of Elongated Particles: From Inorganic Nanorice To Polypeptide Micelles, Philip Dee

Undergraduate Research Posters 2012

Utilizing the powerful experimental technique of Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) for size characterization of anisotropic particles can be extremely misleading. Unfortunately, this point is often not realized by researchers who strive for particle sizing of nanoparticles in suspensions. We present a consistent analysis of DDLS results on FeOOH nanorice and outline the potential difficulties and challenges of DDLS application for polypeptide micelles.
