Abstract

The method and technique of a dynamic light scattering (DLS) is used for determination of sizes of nanoparticles in aqueous suspensions and for characterization of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) aqueous solutions with concentrations from 5 to 100 mM/L. Values of the hydrodynamic radius of SDS aggregates are obtained. The mean hydrodynamic radius of the aggregates was found over the temperature region from 295 to 340 K. The autocorrelation function (ACF) for a single, micron-sized diethylene glycol droplet levitating in the electrodynamic trap was found and analyzed. At least two types of droplet motion in the trap were identified.
