Sažetak

A brief review is given of our recent theoretical and experimental work on static and dynamic light scattering from aggregating polystyrene lattices in solutions and percolating dense microemulsions. The former is characterized by formation and growth of reaction limited fractal aggregates induced by addition of salt, and is basically a nonequilibrium phenomenon. The latter, however, is characterized by formation and growth of clusters of dynamically percolated microemulsion droplets, as one approaches the percolation threshold from below, and is an equilibrium phenomenon. Theories of static and dynamic light scattering from these polydispersed fractal clusters are formulated, emphasizing calculations of the universal scaling functions measurable in the experiment Experimental data are then analyzed to substantiate the theoretical predictions. The similarity of the latter case with the well-known results from the equilibrium critical phenomena is pointed out.
