static light scattering
[/ˈstætɪk laɪt ˈskætərɪŋ/]
noun
espalhamento estático de luz
1. A analytical technique used to determine the molar mass and size of macromolecules in solution by measuring the intensity of light scattered at various angles when a monochromatic light beam passes through the sample
Static light scattering is commonly used to characterize proteins and polymers in pharmaceutical research.
O espalhamento estático de luz é comumente utilizado para caracterizar proteínas e polímeros em pesquisa farmacêutica.
2. A component of light scattering analysis that measures scattering properties at a fixed wavelength without time-dependent variations
The researchers employed static light scattering to determine the molecular weight of the polymer complex.
Os pesquisadores empregaram espalhamento estático de luz para determinar o peso molecular do complexo polimérico.
Static light scattering is primarily a technical term used in scientific and pharmaceutical research contexts in both Brazil and the USA. It is predominantly used in academic, pharmaceutical, and polymer research environments rather than in everyday conversation. The technique is widely taught in chemistry and biochemistry graduate programs in Brazilian universities.
