Potentiation of Effectiveness – industrial applications of nano-scale wet grinding
Abstract
Many applications of nano-scale solids are not accessible by bottom-up processes. For these cases, top-down processes by wet grinding in bead mills are the preferable approach.
The increasing demand for nano-scale particles were initiating innovative developments in bead mill technologies during the last 30 years.
Some up-to-date applications out of electronic technologies, battery technologies and pharmaceuticals will be resented.
