研究目的
Investigating the development of a simple, effective light scattering prototype sensitive to both polarized and depolarized scattering for high throughput screening in the development of new polymer and colloid materials, as well as monitoring stability and phase behavior of therapeutic proteins in the pharmaceutical industry.
研究成果
The depolarization results are adequate for the purpose of developing a high throughput instrument. The DSFC reliably detects depolarized scattering, which may allow temperature-dependent shear stress measurements, collagen protein aggregation monitoring, and work with various colloids and polymers. The strong depolarized scattering for latex spheres above 200 nm suggests that the instrument can also be used to detect optical anisotropy.
研究不足
The prototype is not an ultra-high precision scattering apparatus but is developed for high throughput screening. The detection of depolarized scattering is limited by the system's Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and the need for post-processing correction to the data.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
A light scattering prototype was constructed to be sensitive to both polarized and depolarized scattering. The performance was tested on a variety of pure liquids and optically isotropic and anisotropic polymer solutions and colloidal suspensions.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Organic solvents, suspensions of polystyrene spheres (PSS), Algoflon colloidal suspension, polymers (PVP, HA), and surfactants were used.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The prototype used two lasers with differing wavelengths (660 nm and 405 nm), small-cross section-optical-fibers (SCSOF), and a Hamamatsu S8745-01 Si photodiode array with onboard preamplifier.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The prototype was tested with various samples to evaluate its ability to detect depolarized scattering. Data were sampled at a rate of one reading per second.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The ratio of scattered light for incident states was measured to determine depolarization. Data were corrected for dark or solvent background levels.
