I've just started to work in this field trying to produse hollow spherical structures from PE coating on a charged template (Layer by layer methode). Can any one sugest some tips about controling the ionic strength of the solution. I've used aqueus solotion with and without NaCl. I can't take correct resulsts when mesuring ζ-potential (DLS) in NaCl solution (0.5M). Should I use less concetrated solution?
