INVESTIGATION OF THE POLYDISPERSITY OF MICRO- AND NANOPARTICLES IN AN AQUEOUS MEDIUM USING PARTICLE TRAJECTORY ANALYSIS
The research compares the Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) technique with Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), emphasizing
NTA’s superior resolution and ability to distinguish multiple particle populations in polydisperse systems. The experimental results
showed that the NHTT method can measure the polydispersity of nanoparticle mixtures with high accuracy, while the influence of
large aggregates remains minimal
