A major advantage of this approach is that second-order aggregation rate constants are determined without any assumptions regarding the dimer intraparticle interference or form factor. The second-order aggregation rate constants are calculated from the temporal variation of the zero-angle excess Rayleigh ratio within the context of von Smoluchowski's well-established model of colloidal aggregation. The new method is illustrated with two systems: (1) GM1-bearing liposomes aggregated in the presence of the cholera toxin B subunit and (2) sulfonated polystyrene latex aggregated in the presence of CaCl 2 . Whereas the method is demonstrated to be particularly well-suited for investigating slow aggregation processes, rapid aggregation processes are also accessible if proper precautions are taken.}, number={6}, journal={LANGMUIR}, author={Wang, K and Singh, AK and Zanten, JH}, year={2002}, month={Mar}, pages={2421–2425} } @article{singh_freeman_pinnau_1998, title={Pure and mixed gas acetone/nitrogen permeation properties of polydimethylsiloxane [PDMS]}, volume={36}, ISSN={["0887-6266"]}, DOI={10.1002/(SICI)1099-0488(19980130)36:2<289::AID-POLB8>3.0.CO;2-M}, abstractNote={The permeability of polydimethylsiloxane [PDMS] to acetone, nitrogen, and acetone/nitrogen mixtures has been determined at 28°C. In pure gas experiments, the permeability of PDMS to nitrogen was 245 × 10−10 cm3(STP) · cm/cm2 · s · cmHg and was independent of pressure. The permeability of PDMS to acetone vapor increased exponentially with increasing acetone pressure. PDMS is much more permeable to acetone than to nitrogen; acetone/nitrogen selectivity increases from 85 to 185 as acetone partial pressure in the feed increases from 0 to 67% of saturation. In mixed gas permeation experiments, the nitrogen permeability coefficient is independent of acetone relative pressure and is equal to the pure gas permeability coefficient. The acetone permeability coefficient has the same value in both mixed gas and pure acetone permeation experiments. Average acetone diffusivity in PDMS, determined as the ratio of permeability to solubility, decreases with increasing acetone concentration due to mild clustering of acetone in the polymer (because acetone is a poor solvent for PDMS) and changes in the polymer–penetrant thermodynamic interactions which influence diffusion coefficients. A Zimm–Lundberg analysis of the acetone sorption isotherm is also consistent with acetone clustering in PDMS. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
