ABSTRACTWhen light is very strongly multiply scattered by a medium, its propagation can be well described by a diffusion approximation. This allows important, measurable quantities to be calculated theoretically and interpreted. Thus, for example the total light transmitted through a sample can be used to determine the transport mean free path which characterizes the diffusive transport of the light. In addition, the distribution of path lengths followed by the diffusing light can be determined. This distribution can in turn be used to interpret the temporal fluctuations of the scattered intensity that arise due to the motion of the scattering medium. Therefore, traditional quasielastic, or dynamic, light scattering can be extended to the strongly multiple scattering limit. This technique is called Diffusing Wave Spectroscopy (DWS), and allows useful information about the dynamics of the medium to be determined. Furthermore, new physical processes can be studiedusing DWS. For example, DWS is sensitive to very small motions of colloidal particles: motion of 1 pm diameter particles can be resolved on lengths of∼ 5 Å using light with a wavelength of 0.5 μm. New physical phenomena are probed when motion on these length scales is observed. In particular, the time evolution of the hydrodynamic interaction between concentrated colloidal particles can be resolved. In addition, DWScan also probe spatially rare events since the light paths sample a large volume of the sample. This allows DWS to probe very slow dynamics, making it useful for the study of materials such as foams. This talk reviews the fundamentals of DWS and highlights some ofits unique applications.

Thermal diffusion or Soret effect is the directed motion of colloidal particles in temperature gradient. In this article, by assuming local thermodynamic equilibrium, the drift velocity for a molecular system composed of two connected spheres is calculated. It is shown that for this system the positive Soret coefficient is given by: ST = (3/8)(a/l)(1/T), where l is the average linear size of the system, a is the radius of spheres and T is the local temperature. To investigate the hydrodynamic coupling in a dilute suspension of diffusers, we calculate the average drift velocity for two far diffusers. It is shown that due to the hydrodynamic interaction, an overall attraction between diffusers can be achieved.

The vital role played by the lymphatic capillaries in the transfer of tissue fluids and particulate materials from the connective tissue area can be demonstrated by the rapid removal of injected vital dyes into the tissue areas. In order to ascertain the mechanisms involved in the transfer of substances from the connective tissue area at the ultrastructural level, we have injected colloidal particles of varying sizes which range from 80 A up to 900-mμ. These colloidal particles (colloidal ferritin 80-100A, thorium dioxide 100-200 A, biological carbon 200-300 and latex spheres 900-mμ) are injected directly into the interstitial spaces of the connective tissue with glass micro-needles mounted in a modified Chambers micromanipulator. The progress of the particles from the interstitial space into the lymphatic capillary lumen is followed by observing tissues from animals (skin of the guinea pig ear) that were injected at various time intervals ranging from 5 minutes up to 6 months.

An anodic oxide film is formed on aluminum in an acidic elecrolyte during anodizing. The structure of the oxide film was observed directly by carbon replica method(l) and ultra-thin sectioning method(2). The oxide film consists of barrier layer and porous layer constructed with fine hexagonal cellular structure. The diameter of micro pores and the thickness of barrier layer depend on the applying voltage and electrolyte. Because the dimension of the pore corresponds to that of colloidal particles, many metals deposit in the pores. When the oxide film is treated as anode in emulsion of polyelectrolyte, the emulsion particles migrate onto the film and deposit on it. We investigated the behavior of the emulsion particles during electrodeposition.Aluminum foils (99.3%) were anodized in either 0.25M oxalic acid solution at 30°C or 3M sulfuric acid solution at 20°C. After washing with distilled water, the oxide films used as anode were coated with emulsion particles by applying voltage of 200V and then they were cured at 190°C for 30 minutes.

Retention of cationic dispersed rosin size was studied via turbidity measurements on stock filtrate with different alum and dispersed rosin size dosages. Stock charge characteristics were analyzed using both an analysis of charge demand determined via a streaming current detector and an evaluation of zeta potential of the fibers by streaming potential measurement. The results indicated that an optimum amount of alum existed such that good sizing retention was maintained throughout a wide range of dispersed rosin size dosages. However, when an excessive amount of alum was used and fines and colloidal particles were transitioned from anionic to cationic, the cationic size retention was reduced. Laboratory results were confirmed with a paper machine trial. All data suggested that a stock charge study was necessary to identify optimal alum dosage for a cationic dispersed rosin sizing program.

One of the situations in the treatment of disease is the delivery of efficacious medication of appropriate concentration to the site of action in a controlled and continual manner. Nanoparticle represents an important particulate carrier system, developed accordingly. Nanoparticles are solid colloidal particles ranging in size from 1 to 1000 nm and composed of macromolecular material. Nanoparticles could be polymeric or lipidic (SLNs). Industry estimates suggest that approximately 40% of lipophilic drug candidates fail due to solubility and formulation stability issues, prompting significant research activity in advanced lipophile delivery technologies. Solid lipid nanoparticle technology represents a promising new approach to lipophile drug delivery. Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) are important advancement in this area. The bioacceptable and biodegradable nature of SLNs makes them less toxic as compared to polymeric nanoparticles. Supplemented with small size which prolongs the circulation time in blood, feasible scale up for large scale production and absence of burst effect makes them interesting candidates for study. In this present review this new approach is discussed in terms of their preparation, advantages, characterization and special features.
