When measuring zeta potential of nanoparticles I get a negative zp for np with a positive surface modification. Why?

After measuring the zeta potential of my positive nanoparticles I attain a negative zeta potential. I also attain a negative zeta potential for negatively charged particles. The nanoparticles are...

Can someone explain the difference between dynamic light scattering and zeta potential? Is DLS used to measure zeta potential or are they different?

Is DLS used to measure zeta potential or does it measure the hydrodynamic diameter of nanoparticles? What is the mechanism behind measuring zeta potential and does it differ from DLS? Many thanks...
