Particle Size Analysis

Abstract

Neutron and X-ray Scattering narrow fractions of ceramic particles for use as standards, within the range of 0.1-100 //m, using an X-ray analyzer Sedigraph.Masinde and Hickey (Til) described a method for the preparation of aqueous suspensions of poly (lactic acid) microspheres (4.2 µ ). MISCELLANEOUSPark et al. (Ul) measured the "strength" of particle aggregation by exposing metal oxide samples to a calibrated ultrasonic field and following the change in the particle size distribution. Particle size measurements were used to characterize the granular composition of historical plaster and mortar from the Spilberk Castle in city of Brno, Czech Republic. Ii and co-workers (U3) determined the particle size distribution of aerosols resulting from indoor cooking of scrambled eggs, fried chicken, and soup. The results of this research effort gave median particle diameters of 40, 50, and 30 nm, respectively.

Size analysis of industrial carbon blacks by sedimentation and flow field-flow fractionation

“…PCS is widely used for the determination of particle size in the range from a few nanometers up to a few micrometers [11]. While PCS is fast and easy to operate, it is difficult to obtain accurate size distributions for samples with broad size distributions of multimodal distributions [12].…”

Measuring the lateral size of liquid-exfoliated nanosheets with dynamic light scattering

“…Examples of these include laser diffraction and X-ray scanning sedimentation. [43] Other techniques such as size exclusion chromatography and field flow fractionation can be used to assist in the separation of particles of a given size, however a separate size measurement technique is still required. [44,45] The goal of this work is to develop a simple, fast, in-situ method to measure the lateral size of dispersed nanosheets.…”

Analysis and Characterization of Manufactured Nanoparticles in Aquatic Environments

“…Therefore, such methods can not provide directly comparable numbers. There is an extensive literature available on the fundamental aspects of particle size analysis (Barth and Flippen, 1995 ;Webb, 2008 ) and, although they cover only larger particles ( ∼ 0.1 µ m and above), much can be learned from these and applied also to NPs. In addition to the fact that certain methods measure certain types of equivalent particle size measures (Table 6.2 ), these different methods also yield different types of averages or distributions.…”
