Small-Angle Neutron Scattering on a Core-Shell Colloidal System: A Contrast Variation Study

Zackrisson Oskolkova, Malin LU ; Stradner, Anna LU ; Schurtenberger, Peter LU orcid and Bergenholtz, Johan (2005) In Langmuir 21(23). p.10835-10845
Abstract
Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) measurements are reported on a sterically stabilized, coreshell

colloidal system using contrast variation. Aqueous dispersions of polystyrene particles bearing grafted

poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) have been studied over a large range of particle concentrations and two different

solvent conditions for the PEG polymer. SANS data are analyzed quantitatively by modeling the particles

as core-shell colloids. In a good solvent and under particle contrast conditions, an effective hard-sphere

interaction captures excluded-volume interactions up to high concentrations. Contrast variation, through

isotopic substitution of both the core and solvent, expedite a... (More)

dilute limit and as a function of the particle concentration. Upon diminishing the solvent quality, subtle

changes in the PEG layer translate into attractions among particles of moderate magnitude (Less)
