What role does Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) play?
DLS is used to measure the size distribution of nanoparticles in solution. It works by illuminating the sample with a laser and measuring the fluctuations in the intensity of scattered light. These fluctuations are caused by the Brownian motion of the nanoparticles and can be used to calculate the particle size distribution. DLS is essential for characterizing colloidal suspensions and ensuring uniformity in nanoparticle-based applications.
