Direct Detection of Aggregates in Turbid Colloidal Suspensions

Ducay, Rey Nann Mark Abaque

Abstract Details

2015, Master of Science, Miami University, Physics.
This thesis presents the application of an empirical model of total internal reflection (TIR) we recently developed in conjunction with a home-built sensor to detect nanoaggregates in highly scattering opaque polystyrene colloidal suspensions. The nanoaggregates are detected directly without any sample dilution or special sample preparation. Additional results on nanoaggregate detection in gold nanoparticle suspensions are presented. Preliminary tests of our model and sensor in an absorbing dye solution are also presented.
