Title: Sol, emulsion or amorphous nanoparticles
Post by: jeffmoonchop on November 08, 2017, 09:54:53 AM

Hi Im producing organic nanoparticles. I characterize them using a nanosight and zetasizer to observe particles but how do you know whether the particles are actually solid or whether they are amorphous or liquid?

I have been assuming they are solid if they continue to grow into crystals however if stabilisers are added the particles don't grow so how would you know then?
