Abstract
The kinetics of slow irreversible aggregation of monodisperse polystyr ene latex spheres is investigated by means of the transient electric b irefringence (TEE) technique, The amplitude of the TEE signal is conne cted with the anisotropy of fractal clusters; the decay of the signal after the electric field is switched off contains information about av erage cluster size and size distribution. The TEE results are compared with static and dynamic light scattering data, (C) 1995 Academic Pres s, Inc.
