Most suspensions are polydisperse systems, meaning that solid particles of various sizes are dispersed in a fluid. A particle size distribution study yields insights into the width of the particle distribution. Such studies enable the analysis of powders, granular materials, and particles suspended in liquids in great detail. Particle size distribution studies are used in research and quality control in many industries, including the cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and food industry.
In this application note, the DataPhysicvs MultiScan MS 20 dispersion stability analysis system is used to analyse the particle size distribution of polystyrene particles in water.
