Agglomeration can be detected and measured using various techniques:
1. Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS): Measures the size distribution of particles in a suspension. 2. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM): Provides detailed images of individual nanoparticles and their aggregates. 3. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM): Offers surface images that can help visualize agglomerates. 4. X-ray Diffraction (XRD): Identifies the crystalline structure and can infer the size and degree of agglomeration.
