Particle size distributions obtained from the COADMAS measurements of the polydisperse silica particle suspensions. Red circle (MEM and dialysis): Dialyzed silica particle suspension originally dispersed in MEM medium, Black triangle (UPW): Silica particle suspension directly dispersed in ultrapure water. The vertical axis represents a normalized frequency distribution, where the maximum value of the silica particle peak (200 nm) is set to 1.
