redispersed

Distributed once more

Redispersed means dispersed again after having settled or clumped together.

The term appears most often in technical contexts—chemistry, pharmaceuticals, materials science—where particles or substances that have aggregated must be returned to a uniformly distributed state: The sediment was redispersed by shaking the solution.

Once dried, the nanoparticles could not be easily redispersed.
