The effect of drying techniques on the dispersion and agglomeration of silica nanoparticles were studied using alcohol-dehydration (AD), freeze-drying (FD) and oven drying (OD) techniques. Observation under optical microscope showed that aqueous-dispersion with OD technique led to the formation of d...
