Abstract
The accuracy of dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements are compared with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies for characterization of size distributions of ceramic nanoparticles. It was found that measurements by DLS using number distribution presented accurate results when compared to TEM. The presence of dispersants and the enlargement of size distributions induce errors to DLS particle sizing measurements and shifts its results to higher values.
