17. In higher viscosity solvents such as hexadecane, the diffusion coefficients scaled as expected. These diffusion coefficients are not altered by sonication, and TEM images reveal predominantly monodispersed particles. These observations allow us to eliminate aggregation as a possible explanation for the measured diffusion coefficients.
