Resulting data from the Zetasizer Nano ZS was used to support the anticipated core-shell structure. Smeets’ previous work on the rational design of hyperbranched synthetic polymers from Catalytic Chain Transfer Polymerization (CCTP) was extended to provide a core-shell copolymer consisting of a synthetic core decorated with a polysaccharide shell, allowing for easy dispersion in water. McKenna, they have recently published a paper in which they use the Zetasizer Nano ZS to characterize novel core-shell materials in pure water. His team focuses on the synthesis of polymer colloids using a range of dispersed free-radical polymerization techniques.
Materials from 0.6 to 6,000 nm can be measured with an electrokinetic potential analysis from -150 to +150 megavolts. It uses Dynamic Light Scattering to determine the polydispersity of a sample and measure particle charge, size, and molecular weight. Cunningham, holds the Ontario Research Chair in Green Chemistry and Engineering at Queen's University. The Zetasizer (Malvern Nano ZS) characterizes nanomaterials in a solution. “ The most important features that the Zetasizer Nano ZS offers are rapidity, reproducibility, and a user-friendly interface.”ĭaniel Krasznai’s supervisor, Dr.
Minimum sample volume is 12 L when used in conjunction with the S or ZS models, and 20 L when used in conjunction with the S90 or ZS90 models. ZEN2112 Low-volume quartz cuvette for sizing measurements with the Zetasizer Nano series, including the Nano S, ZS, S90, & ZS90 systems. “ The Zetasizer Nano ZS is an integral piece of equipment in our polymer characterization laboratory,” said Daniel Krasznai, Department of Chemical Engineering, Queen's University, Kingston, Canada. conjunction with the Nano S or ZS models.
