Methods and Means of Measurements of the Dispersion Parameters of Particles of Suspensions in the Submicron and Nanometer Range

  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

Basic algorithms for processing autocorrelation functions for the method of dynamic light scattering, the most efficient method for the determination of the sizes of particles, are considered. Algorithms for processing the functions for the case of a polydisperse distribution of particles are proposed. Results of measurements of the parameters of particles in liquid media, in particular, natural mineral waters, are presented and a technique for their identification is proposed.
