Abstract
The dynamic light scattering behavior of poly(butylmethacrylate) PBMA microgels and of kappa-casein micelles is compared with that from hard sphere latex particles. The latex particles and the kappa-casein micelles exhibited a single exponential decay of the time correlation function (TCF). For the microgels, progessively stronger deviations from a single exponential were observed as the scattering angle was made larger. These deviations are interpreted as being the result of internal modes of motion. From measurement of the first cumulant of the TCF, extrapolated towards zero angle, the translational diffusion coefficients D were determined, and the hydrodynamically effective radii were calculated via the Stokes-Einstein relationship. The ratio of the radius of gyration to the hydrodynamic radius was found to beϱ=0.775+0.012 for the latex particles, in good agreement with theory. The microgels, however, exhibit much lowerϱ-parameters of 0.49 to 0.58, while the kappa-casein micelles showed the opposite behavior with values between 1.1 and 2.5. The results are interpreted on the basis of the DebyeBueche and Deutsch-Felderhof theory for porous spheres.
