Dispersion of particles as an indicator of the size variability between particles. Monodispersed particles are all uniform and of one size without variability, this is the ideal particle preparation. Oligodispersed particles have some variability in size while polydispersed particles show a large range of sizes. Accordingly, oligo- and polydispersed particles demonstrate different rate of excretions
