Using Planetary Ball Mills to Generate Nanoparticles
21 Mar 2013This application note from Retsch demonstrated how planetary ball mills can be used to produce nanoparticles for various areas of research. The grinding results show that planetary ball mills are suitable for producing particles in the nanometer range. Aspects such as the choice of grinding ball size or dispersion medium have a crucial influence on the success of the process.
