Holographic characterization of colloidal fractal aggregates.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In-line holographic microscopy images of micrometer-scale fractal aggregates can be interpreted with an effective-sphere model to obtain each aggregate's size and the population-averaged fractal dimension. We demonstrate this technique experimentally using model fractal clusters of polystyrene nanoparticles and fractal protein aggregates composed of bovine serum albumin and bovine pancreas insulin.

Toward a universal extinction spectrum of self-affine silver colloid clusters: Experiment and simulation
Polarized extinction spectra of large fractal aggregates of colloidal silver deposited gravitationally onto a quartz substrate were measured by transmission as a function of angle of incidence. The spectral components tangential and normal to the average plane of the clusters compacted along the direction of deposition were extracted from these and compared with spectra calculated from simulate...
متن کاملMechanical Properties of Colloidal Gels Subject to Particle Rearrangement
In a colloidal suspension with attractive interaction, particles form aggregates that settle to the bottom of the container. As the concentration of particles is increased, the overlapping of the aggregates (flocs) produces a continuous network throughout the suspension before settling occurs and a colloidal gel is formed. Colloidal gels may be divided into hard gels and soft gels. 1 Hard gels ...
متن کاملFractal dimension and mechanism of aggregation of apple juice particles.
Turbidity of freshly squeezed apple juice is produced by a polydisperse suspension of particles coming from the cellular tissue. After precipitation of coarse particles by gravity, only fine-colloidal particles remain in suspension. Aggregation of colloidal particles leads to the formation of fractal structures. The fractal dimension is a measure of the internal density of these aggregates and ...
متن کاملHolographic characterization of individual colloidal spheres’ porosities
Synthetic colloidal spheres play a central role in applications as diverse as catalysis, medical diagnostics, and photonics. Even as many applications advance toward single-sphere implementations, methods for characterizing colloidal spheres typically offer only sampleaveraged overviews of such properties as spheres’ sizes and porosities. Moreover, such characterization methods as mercury adsor...
متن کاملColloidal aggregation with mobile impurities.
The structure and aggregation kinetics of diffusion-limited cluster-cluster three-dimensional monomeric aggregates and gels is investigated as a function of the molar fraction of two types of impurities. In one case the impurities are allowed to aggregate among themselves whereas in the other the impurities are mobile monomers that remain as such during the whole aggregation process. Computer s...
