As no theoretical model for polydisperse platelets exists, we extend a model for monodisperse depletant cylinders by assuming negligible thickness and averaging over the disc size distribution, finding nearly perfect matching with experimental data. The resulting averaged depletion potentials have, as predicted by the extended model, the same depth as monodisperse potentials, but differ in range and shape according to the size distribution. We compare mean particle sizes and standard deviations derived by TIRF with results from TEM measurements. 000017876 536__ $$0G:(DE-Juel1)FUEK505$$2G:(DE-HGF)$$aBioSoft: Makromolekulare Systeme und biologische Informationsverarbeitung$$cP45$$x0 000017876 588__ $$aDataset connected to Web of Science 000017876 650_7 $$2WoSType$$aJ 000017876 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)VDB56805$$aKleshchanok, D.$$b1$$uFZJ 000017876 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)130789$$aLang, P.R.$$b2$$uFZJ 000017876 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)2191476-X$$a10.1039/c1sm05429e$$gVol. 7, p. 6444 - 6450$$p6444 - 6450$$q7<6444 - 6450$$tSoft matter$$v7$$x1744-683X$$y2011 000017876 8567_ $$uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1039/C1sm05429E 000017876 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/17876/files/FZJ-17876.pdf$$yPublished under German "Allianz" Licensing conditions on 2011-06-03.
