D[3, 2], surface area moment mean; D[4, 3], volume moment mean; Dv10, Dv50, and Dv90, the measured diameters below which 10%, 50%, and 90% of the particle population lies, on the basis of volume.
Defines the width of the particle size distribution and is equal to (Dv90 - Dv10) / Dv50.
Mean±SD (n=3) within each column followed by different superscript letters are significantly different (p<0.05).
