Aggregation, Flocculation and Coagulation

The ability to monitor the presence and formation of aggregates is one of the strengths of light scattering techniques. The intensity of light scattered is proportional to the sixth power of the diameter (I µ d 6) for small molecules and particles, which means that the techniques are highly sensitive to the detection of larger materials in a distribution of sizes.

This sensitivity is useful in a variety of applications:

	Colloids Aggregation Examples of applications for Colloids Aggregation include Quality control, Accelerated stability studies and Shelf life improvement
