Size distribution analysis of agglomerates of nondispersed (ND) and Survanta-dispersed (SD) MWCNT. MWCNT were suspended in PBS in the absence or presence of Survanta. The values are median values of distribution. Length and width distribution (log normal) of ND-MWCNT are shown in (a) and (c), while length and width distribution (log normal) of SD-MWCNT are shown in (b) and (d). N: MWCNT particle (agglomerates) number. Total counted particles are 300 in each case. CMW: count median width; CML: count median length; GSD: geometric standard deviation.
