Robert H. Dinegar helped develop a model for producing monodisperse sulfur hydrosols. Separating a short period of nucleation from subsequent particle growth explains how particles can begin growing at similar times and acquire a narrow size distribution.[ref]

Victor K. La Mer developed, with Robert H. Dinegar, a model linking nucleation and particle growth to the formation of monodisperse sulfur hydrosols. A brief nucleation interval followed by growth provides a mechanism for narrowing the spread of particle sizes.[ref]
