Article Synopsis
- DLS (Dynamic Light Scattering) and SEC (Size Exclusion Chromatography) are commonly used methods for measuring polymer sizes in solution, but they give different results, especially for complex substances like dendritic and network polysilanes.
- Polymer nanoparticles in poor solution conditions tend to take a globular shape, complicating accurate size measurements due to attractive interactions when in solution.
- The study concludes that DLS offers more reliable size measurements for dilute solutions of globules compared to SEC, highlighting important considerations for measuring polymer nanoparticle sizes.
