Zeta potential of Polystyrene latex mixture
Resolution of zeta-potential measurement is so high as to enable multi-component analysis owing to calculation of correlation and FFT calculation with the software. Mixture of five polystyrene latex of different particle size is measured.
Five spectrum correspounding to each latex are appeared. Zeta-potential of five components are in the range of -45mV to -107mV, and they show good cosistent with that from individual measurement.

As the absolute value of zeta-potential is larger, general colloidal particles show good dispersibility, as the electrostatic repulsion
becomes stronger. As the zeta-potential is close to zero, they become so unstable as to
be likely to aggregate.
As the pH value of the solution changes from acidic to alkaline values, alumina particles show a large change of the zeta-potential from plus to minus values. It can be seen that they have the
isoelectric point to indicate the zero zeta-potential at around pH9.
In the pH range where the absolute value of zeta-potential is large, their average particle
size is small, and it can be seen that dispersion stability of the particles is good due to
electrostatic repulsion. On the other hand, it can be seen that particles aggregation to be large in the average particle size, resulting in instability,
in the area around the isoelectric point.

In most cases, colloidal particles posses an either positively or negatively electrostatic charge. Having electrical fields applied to that particle dispersion, the particles migrate to oppositely charged direction. Upon particles being irradiated in migrating, scatter light causes Doppler shift depending upon electrophoresis mobility. ELSZ-1000 software calculates Doppler shift amount followed by electric mobility and zeta potential by combining heterodyne system and photon correlation method to perform Fourier transform (FFT) of obtained correlation function.

Principle of Zeta-Potential Measurement
When measurement of electrophoresis is actually taken, electroosmotic current is generated in the cell due to electric charge on the cell wall. The electroosmotic current means a phenomenon that, in the case of the cell wall charged to minus, ions and particles of plus electric charge gather together around the cell wall, so that the solution located around the wall faces migrates toward the minus electrode direction during electrophoresis and the solution located at the cell center follows in the opposite plus electrode direction to compensate the flow in the plus electrode direction. Accordingly, electroosmic current is added to the apparent electrophoreis of particles observed. The ELSZ-1000 series apparatuses are designed to measure the electrophoretic mobility at severall points in the cell to thereby obtain a position not influenced by the electroosmotic current, i.e.static surface,and then calulate the true mobility at the position. As a result, the moblity can be measured at high accuracy, even if the electroosmotic profile of the system is asymmetrical due to adsorption or sedimentation of the sample.

By conventional method, scattered light from concentrated suspention can not be measured correctly due to multiple scattering (A). FST method developed recently detects the scattering light at forward direction through the transparent electrode. Optical path lengh of its detection is minimized to reduce the influence of multiple scattering. Thus, it can perform zeta-potential measurement of concentrated suspension with high accuracy (B).

auto-correlation function(ACF)
Particulates dispersed in a solution are normally performing the Brownian motion. The motion is slower as the particles are larger and is faster as the particles are smaller. This principle is applicable namely when laser beams are irradiated to particles under the Brownian motion, scattered light from the particles shows fluctuation corresponding to individual particles.The fluctuation is observed according to the pinhole type photon detection method, so that particle size and particle size distributions are calculated.
