Curtis Guild

Thank you very much for your answer!

How can I then determine the volume fraction of particles in the "re-dispersed" suspension?

V R Arun Prakash

Yes you can go for vacuum oven. Dear Curtis Guild

i agree with your answer. But centrifuge process generally used for removing coupling agents know, which may used for preparing nanoparticles with controlled size.
