Characterization of Nanomaterial Dispersion in Solution Prior to In Vitro
Exposure Using Dynamic Light Scattering Technique
In this paper, Solvents used for DLS Measurement for Various Nanomaterials.
use titon x 100 , dilute solution, see google for more information
For powder characterization either characterize the powder directly - to get information on powder material or characterize suspension, which will give you information on this suspension. Results for the latter will always depend on solvent composition used and use dispersion intensity. That means for the same material you can produce very different results.
@Titus Sobisch: yes, agree with you. but if we go for suspension characterization which solvent is suitable for Al2O3 and TiO2 dispersion.
you should characterize the suspension you are interested in, e.g. if you envisage application in aqueous environment your choice should be water. Then poly- or pyrophoshate may be a good dispersant. At least in case of alumina it will reduce dissolution of ions from it.
