The controlled maskless deposition of nanomaterials locally on surfaces is challenging and
of relevance to numerous fields and applications, such as sensing and catalysis. Forming …

Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) experiments
have been carried out to study the competitive effects of NaCl and sodium dodecyl sulfate …

Differences in aggregation performance of metal sulfide particles generated in wastewater
during sulfide precipitation processes cannot be adequately explained by their zeta …

The aggregation behavior of particles in nonpolar media is studied with time-resolved light
scattering. At low surfactant concentrations particles are weakly charged and suspensions …
