Size reduction into the nanometer size range offers many advantages. These include increased surface area, improved reactivity, efficient absorption and higher efficacy of active ingredients. This presentation will discuss methods for Comminution and dispersion of agglomerates and particles into the nanometer size range using dry and wet grinding and dispersion techniques. Comminution and Dispersion of solids in slurries and suspensions has been more commonly used due to energy efficiency –vs- dry grinding. When a dry powder is the final product, a dry method may be preferable and economical. Both are possible with the newest Comminution and Dispersion technology available. NETZSCH Premier Technology provides both wet and dry size reduction solutions for processing solids in the nanometer particle size range.
