Dedicated to Prof. Dr.-Ing. Joachim Werther on the occasion of his 80th birthday Nanostructured heteroaggregates provide improved or new functionalities over homoaggregates due to the formation of heterocontacts. For a high number of heterocontacts, intense mixing of the primary particles and their reaggregation is required. This work presents results using the principle of fluidization for formulation of nanostructured heteroaggregates. Intraaggregate mixing of constituents is evaluated by SEM-EDX. The feasibility of two technologies, spouted bed and opposed jet fluidized bed, is demonstrated, also showing the variety of structures that can be achieved by the technologies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
