In nanomaterial research and development, the PDI is pivotal for several reasons:
1. Quality Control: It helps in maintaining the consistency and reliability of nanoparticle production. 2. Functional Performance: The efficacy of nanoparticles in applications such as drug delivery, catalysis, and imaging often depends on their size distribution. 3. Stability: A lower PDI generally indicates better stability of the nanoparticle suspension, crucial for long-term storage and application.
