Heteroaggregation and homoaggregation is investigated with time-resolved multi-angle dynamic light scattering. The aggregation rates are measured in aqueous suspensions of amidine latex (AL) and sulfate latex (SL) particles in the presence of sodium octyl sulfate (SOS) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). As revealed by electrophoresis, the surfactants adsorb to both types of particles. For the AL particles, the adsorption of surfactants induces a charge reversal and triggers fast aggregation close to the isoelectric point (IEP). The negatively charged SL particles remain negatively charged and stable in the whole concentration range investigated. The heteroaggregation rates for AL and SL particles are fast at low surfactant concentrations, where the particles are oppositely charged. At higher concentrations, the heteroaggregation slows down above the IEP of the AL particles, where the particles become like-charged. The SDS has higher affinity to the surface compared to the SOS, which induces a shift of the IEP and of the fast aggregation regime to lower surfactant concentrations.

Abstract Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) is a ubiquitous and non-invasive measurement for the characterization of nano- and micro-scale particles in dispersion. The sixth power relationship between scattered intensity and particle radius is simultaneously a primary advantage whilst rendering the technique sensitive to unwanted size fractions from unclean lab-ware, dust and aggregated & dynamically aggregating sample, for example. This can make sample preparation iterative, challenging and time consuming and often requires the use of data filtering methods that leave an inaccurate estimate of the steady state size fraction and may provide no knowledge to the user of the presence of the transient fractions. A revolutionary new approach to DLS measurement and data analysis is presented whereby the statistical variance of a series of individually analysed, extremely short sub-measurements is used to classify data as steady-state or transient. Crucially, all sub-measurements are reported, and no data are rejected, providing a precise and accurate measurement of both the steady state and transient size fractions. We demonstrate that this approach deals intrinsically and seamlessly with the transition from a stable dispersion to the partially- and fully-aggregated cases and results in an attendant improvement in DLS precision due to the shorter sub measurement length and the classification process used.
