Metal Nanoparticle Size and Surface Charge (Zeta Potential)

Metal Nanoparticles

Metal nanoparticles (also known as colloidal metal) have been around for a very long time, with the original scientific references dating over one hundred and fifty years ago*. Both pure metal and metal oxide colloids are used in a wide variety of applications including catalysts, ferrofluids, biological markers, and many others. Particle size and zeta potential of these suspensions are critical physical parameters that affect functionality and stability. The SZ-100 Nanoparticle Analyzer is an excellent analytical tool for determining particle size and zeta potential of metal colloids.

Sizing Silica Particles by DLS
The utility of silica nanoparticles is often determined by the particle size. Dynamic light scattering provides fast, accurate and repeatable nanoparticle size information and therefore is an important tool for the nanoparticle technologist. Here, two different size silica particles are characterized with the SZ-100 in order to demonstrate the accuracy and utility of the instrument.
