1. Dynamic light scattering
The first step for exploiting DLS data was to adjust experimental correlation functions
(averaged over 3 to 6 single measurements) with monoexponential decays. We have used
equation (1):

where G(t) was the correlation function, D
t
the translational diffusion coefficient, and q the
normalized value of the wave vector. Measurements were realized at fixed angle (θ = 173°,
backscattering), at fixed wavelength (λ = 633 nm), and always in heptane (refractive index n
s
= 1.388). Therefore the q value was fixed by the experimental conditions and could be
calculated using equation (2):
