  1. EDLS, electrophoretic and diffusion light scattering.
  2. aThe measured parameters are the diffusion coefficient (D) and the electrophoretic mobility (μ). The diffusion coefficient can be related to the hydrodynamic radius (RH) according to the Stokes-Einstein equation (D = kT/6πηRH, where k is the Boltzmann constant, T the absolute temperature, and η the viscosity of the solution. Smoluchowski's equation relates the electrophoretic mobility (μ) to the zeta potential (ζ: μ = ζε/η). The relative dielectric constant is given as ε = εr × 8.859E-12 Fm−1.
