Different Flocculation Behaviors Between Ternary‐Amine Polystyrene Latex and Poly(styrenesulfonate): Probe Charge Effect

“…[25] The macroscopic flocculation that was shown in pH 3 and 7 conditions disappeared with sonification but reformed within short time. Figure 1 that is intensity correlation function and inset that is relaxation time distributions determined by CONTIN analysis of g (1) (t) clearly shows destabilization state as different pH conditions. All spectra obtained after 10 min sonification because particle size varied with time.…”

“…For dynamic light scattering studies, the intensity correlation function, g (2) (t), obtained by running dynamic light scattering instruments and g (2) (t) is related to the electric field correlation function, g (1) (t), by the following equation, g (2)…”

“…Here, t is the lagtime, B is the baseline, and f is an instrumental parameter determined by deviation from an ideal correlation. In order to obtain diffusion coefficients, g (1) (t) was fitted to the relationship between g (1) (t) and decay rate (G), g (1) (t) ¼ exp(ÀGt). g (1) Vv (t) is an exponential with a decay rate, G, which is related to the translational diffusion coefficient (D T ) through the following equation,…”

“…The interaction and formation of particlepolymer assembled thin films has been an active research area for a long time because they play an important role in industrial applications. [1][2][3][4][5][6] The particle-particle or particle-polymer interaction was severely influenced on polymer conformation in solution or charge on probe molecules or polymer chain. [6] When interactions between particles and polymers occur, stabilization and destabilization are generally occurred.…”

Probe diffusion from dilute to concentrated in polyelectrolyte solution: Salt effect

“…The technique was introduced by Decher [4], and since then, various cores such as nanoparticles, biological cells, and nano to micron size dye molecules have been used as templates for multilayer formation [5][6][7][8]. Among these particles, latex is receiving a considerable amount of attention in several fields because latex can serve as a support through physical adsorption or covalent binding and can be dissolved by an organic solvent [9][10][11][12]. The particle-particle or particle-polymer interactions have a substantial effect on polymer conformation and the charge on probe molecules or polymer chains in solution [2].…”
