Abstract

The increasing demand from the colloid research community for quick and noninvasive experimental techniques as well as the rapid progress of modern optics and electronics have led to a considerable expansion in the field of light scattering. This review introduces the basic concepts with some emphasis on novel approaches like the study of interacting particle systems, multiple scattering techniques, and non ergodic samples. Particular attention is then devoted to recent experimental progress towards more compact and rugged instruments.

      To determine the particle size distribution in the suspensions, dynamic light scattering (DLS) [quasi-elastic light scattering (QELS)] method is widely used due to its relative simplicity and reasonable accuracy [147–159]. Several techniques were developed to determine the rates of particle aggregation and PSD by means of DLS, photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS) [147–159,203–206], single-particle optical sizing (SPOS) [207], static light scattering [208], acoustics and electroacoustics [211–213], cryo-SEM [214], flow ultramicroscopy [215], the last method in combination with single-particle light scattering [216], etc. The studies of the coagulation rate of monodisperse silica particles (d=530 nm) using the SPOS method by Barany et al. [217] showed that the main (and relatively fast) aggregation occurred during the first 10 min, then, only a slow process was observed even in a solution of 1 M KCl or higher and the total number of particles decreases by two to 10 times depending on the time and the concentration of inert electrolytes (KCl, CaCl2).
