Applications of Light Scattering: From Micro-Rheology in Networks to
Conformation of Dendrimers to Protein Aggregation.
Dr. Grigor Bantchev, Louisiana State University:
The talk will highlight possibilities and limitations of Dynamic
Light Scattering (DLS). The method of Depolarized DLS, which
allows measuring both the translational and rotational diffusion of tracer
particles in gels, will be introduced. This method can be used to
characterize the formation and degradation of polymer networks. Next, the
determination of the conformation of some macro-molecules designed with the
aim to micro-encapsulate medication and release it at a target will be
presented. Last, we will discuss the monitoring the aggregation of
amyloid-beta protein . a process, connected with Alzheimer's disease.
