* The presented values correspond to the mean ± standard deviation provided by the equipment (Brookhaven Instruments, Holtsville, NY, USA). kcps, average count rate (kilo counts per second) that shows a quality of particle size, in which the kcps range approximately between 300 and 500 (it provides a high precise particle size recording); PDI, polydispersity index that shows the size range index of particles: <0.05, high monodisperse standard in which near to zero shows a perfect uniformed sample; >0.7, very broad particle size distribution in which near to 1.0 shows a super highly polydisperse sample with various particle sizes [15].
